Dr. Christina Bolke Turner, Associate Professor in the School of World Studies, passed away Sunday, January 13.
Dr. Turner was a popular and demanding instructor of Anthropology who worked hard to help students develop their critical thinking and writing skills. Her research focused on rural communities in Latin America. She had been a Fulbright Scholar and editor on the MACLAS (Middle American Council of Latin American Studies) Essays from 2003-06. Her interest in Latin American rural communities had been prompted by her service in the Peace Corps in Paraguay.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made toward an academic award established in Dr. Turner's name by the School of World Studies at VCU. The award will honor Dr. Turner's legacy as a teacher.
