Who is Dr. C?
A scholar of the Harlem Renaissance who builds the worlds he writes about.
Since beginning Virtual Harlem in 1997, Dr. Carter has published extensively on virtual environments in the humanities and taught classes that met entirely in Second Life as early as 2005 — evolving the work through Open Simulator and Unity 3D. In 2004 the Sorbonne funded Virtual Montmartre under his leadership, awarding him the Professeur Invité a total of twelve times.
In 2015 he was named one of eight Technology Innovators of the year by The Chronicle of Higher Education, with features in The Atlantic, Hyperallergic, and Dagbladet Information.
