Carter Oselett (he/they) is a queer researcher working at the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. He was born and raised in Metro Detroit, Michigan and moved to Chicago, Illinois after graduating with a degree in Social Relations and Policy from the James Madison College at Michigan State University. While studying in East Lansing, Carter took interest in housing, environmental, and health policy. In 2021, he joined a team of researchers led by Dr. Louise Jezierski and Dr. Sejuti Das Gupta on a project investigating how the COVID-19 pandemic affected women and caretakers involved in Michigan’s informal economy. At the AIDS Foundation, Carter works on the Research & Evaluation team, providing support for a range of projects that involve clients living with HIV/AIDS, those experiencing mental health and substance use issues, and people experiencing homelessness. Currently, he is working on the Resilience Project, an NIH-funded research project to learn more about how life experiences impact gay, bisexual and queer Black men living with HIV through the HIV care-continuum, from diagnosis through treatment. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with friends, collecting vinyl records, reading about history, and long bike rides along the shore of Lake Michigan.
