Becoming Disciplined with Joy Carter Minor

On this episode of ‘Becoming Disciplined,’ Oceanographer and Hydrographer Joy Carter Minor talks about what it means to be anti-racist. Often victimized by Jim Crow laws and racism, Joy navigated systemic marginalization to become a Black woman engineer and oceanographer. She was the first US citizen qualified by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) to certify nautical charts for the US Navy. She has supported the Chief of Naval Operations in the Pentagon on the Air-Sea Battle concept and transitioned technologies to the warfighter in response to urgent needs in maritime irregular warfare. She has provided systems engineering support to the US Navy, Coast Guard, Missile Defense Agency, Non-Lethal Weapons Program, and the Department of Homeland Security.
