Dr. Craig Eckert is professor and chair of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and has been at Eastern Illinois University since 1986. While his Ph.D. training at the University of Missouri-Columbia was in the area of political sociology, Dr. Eckert's primary interests are in the sociology of sport and the sociology of science. He recently conducted a study, with the aid of two sociology majors, about people's perceptions of steroid use among athletes, both amateurs and professionals, and he has presented preliminary data from that study at sociology conferences. He is working with two colleagues and two Eastern students on a more refined examination of the data for publication in a sports journal. |
