- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) November 17, 2011 - Bryan Turner, Presidential Professor of Sociology at The Graduate Center, has been selected as an Honored Member of the Biltmore Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. The selection recognizes Bryan Turner's commitment to excellence in Graduate Education.
Turner, who holds both a Bachelor's and Doctorate Degree in Sociology, both from Leeds University, two Doctorate of Letters, one from Flinders, Australia and one from Cambridge University, as well as a Master's Degree in Sociology from Cambridge University, began his career as a junior lecturer at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland in 1970, teaching the sociology of religion. From there, he had professorships in Australia, Holland, Germany, England, Singapore and the US. He has been teaching now for forty-one years.
Currently running the research committee at the Graduate Center for the City University of New York, Turner also has a professorship at the University of Western Sydney, Australia, where he is the director of the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Muslim Societies, in which he is responsible for research leadership and the training of graduate students.
"I have had a lifelong concern for citizenship and human rights," Turner said. "At the age of eighteen I visited Communist East Germany, Poland and Russia. I have always been motivated to understand how capitalist, communist, democratic and authoritarian societies work."
With plans of undertaking a historical and comparative study of the origins of modern citizenship, Turner also wants to take some leave time to research and live in Hong Kong to study their translation. He also hopes to spend time in Vietnam.
Turner currently edits two academic journals and has authored seventy-five books. He is a fellow of the Australian Academy of Social Science and is an active member of the American Sociological Research Association. When he isn't busy working, Bryan enjoys collecting books, traveling and playing cricket.
