Career
Carter’s research and published work focuses on the central themes of Black feminist anthropology, connected to public health and medicine. Her doctoral dissertation project, which is now being developed into a book, is titled "It’s a 'White Disease': ALS, Race, and Suffering in a Divided City", and centers how the intersection of marginalized identity features – such as race, gender, and class – impact the experiences of people with ALS. Many of her other publications also explore and discuss the compounding nature of social marginalization for Black people, women, people in poverty, etc. Her work engages ethnographic research that prioritizes participant observation and interviewing to elevate and amplify Black voices in sharing experiences in health systems where inequity and anti-Blackness are rampant. Carter’s work is focused within St. Louis, her hometown, and highlights how racism in medicine is uniquely experienced and impactful in cities and regions within the United States which still exist in racially stratified and segregated realities.

Carter’s public facing work includes a variety of peer reviewed publications, blog posts, published essays, and presentations which relate to and promote Black activism and anti-racism connected to scholarship. This work spans a variety of platforms and relates racism to the academy, the COVID-19 pandemic, American politics, and many other topics. Her piece "Trauma at home: A queer Black feminist’s experience in the afterlife of state sanctioned violence in Ferguson" (2020) is semi-autoethnographic and confronts what it means to do research related to racism within a Black population in her home town during and after events like the murder of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO. Along with writing, Carter has also been a guest on podcasts like the Undomesticated and the AnthroPod podcast, where she spoke about anthropology and its relation to social issues, like mental health and anti-racism.
