William James Carter

I am a PhD Student and Fulbright Scholar from SE London, England, in the Geography Department at the University of California, Berkeley. I am also a member of the Berkeley Black Geographies Project. My research focuses on the aquatic histories of the Atlantic World and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, specifically charting the origins of racialisation and the association of Blackness with danger in the riverine, littoral waterscapes of West/Central Africa.

At UC Berkeley, I am an active neurodiversity advocate, campaigner and policy developer.
