Dr. William E. Barnett, Ph.D., received a B.A. in Afro-American History with an African Studies Certificate from Northwestern University in 1973, and then pursued graduate work at the Africana Studies Center at Cornell University, from 1973-1975. He later earned a doctoral degree in philosophy at Cornell in 1986.

Opting to remain in Ithaca rather than to uproot and move his family elsewhere, he left the formal academic world and worked as the late Dr. Carl Sagan’s personal editorial and research assistant until six months following Dr. Sagan’s death in late 1996. In that position he ultimately assumed editorial responsibility for ushering Dr. Sagan’s posthumous work, Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium, through the editorial production process with American and British publishers.
