Research and Teaching
William's interests include Social and Political Philosophy, Ethics, and African-American Philosophy.

His current research involves an analysis of liberal political theories and their application to the particular problems of the urban underclass. Specifically he is concerned with discovering which liberal political theory or principles can effectively inform policies directed at revitalizing such communities. Any effective proposal for revitalization must address the problem that some in the urban underclass have reasonably rejected liberal values due to oppression, poverty, alienation, and a loss of autonomy.
