Turner has previously held positions at the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Research Institute for the Study of Art from Latin America at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Grey Art Museum, at New York University. She holds a Ph.D. in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, where she wrote a dissertation on experimental networks of women artists in 1980s Mexico City.
