Philippe-Richard Marius joined the full-time faculty of the College of Staten Island as a Substitute Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the Fall of 2022. He had been an adjunct faculty member of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology since 2006 while continuing his long career at CSI as an administrator. He received a BFA in film and television from New York University and a PhD in cultural anthropology from the CUNY Graduate Center. His research seeks to bring clarity to the operations of race and class together in the reproduction of privilege and inequality in Western capitalist modernity. He is particularly interested in confronting the fact of racism together with the fact of people of color in transcendent positions of power that reproduce social inequalities across racial lines. His book The Unexceptional Case of Haiti: Race and Class in Postcolonial Bourgeois Society was published by the University Press of Mississippi.
