Dr. Chambers has a wealth of experience in higher education including 12 years in student affairs at Drew University, the University of Maryland, Dartmouth College and Duke University.

He also served as Director of Undergraduate Programs for the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.

Dr. Chambers’ research and writing focuses on social theories of racism and on Black gay men’s identities, and he uses an intersectional lens to study individual and collective Black identities and seeks to highlight the ways gender and sexuality influence those processes. His work examines the ways various ideologies, cultural norms, and experiences of racism influence the direction and content of Blackness.
