Eric Wolf, Pepón Osorio, and Paule Marshall | CUNY Laureates

On this episode of CUNY Laureates, we profile another three MacArthur Fellows from the City University of New York. First, we hear about Eric Wolf’s lifelong effort to transcend the boundaries of culture and society with his innovative application of Marxist concepts to the field of anthropology. Pepón Osorio’s ornate and expansive art installations transport the public into communities and art spaces deeply influenced by his Puerto Rican heritage. And we learn how Paule Marshall’s upbringing among brownstones in Brooklyn shaped her career as a writer.
