The Madcast

Nathan Anthony Tilton, MA, uses he/him pronouns. His disability pronouns are: service dog handler, chair user, neurodivergent, and disabled veteran.
 He is the Associate Director at UC Berkeley's Disability Lab and a PhD student in Cultural Anthropology. 


His research interests encompass disability anthropology, veteran health, critical disability studies, post colonial studies, crip time, and military biopolitics. Nate's research examines how institutions disable people, focusing on disabled veterans on Guam and the afterlives of former U.S. military bases in the Philippines. On Guam, limited sovereignty as a U.S. territory excludes veterans from essential benefits such as VA medical care and the right to vote. In the Philippines, his work explores the environmental, socioeconomic, and anthropological impacts of these bases, shedding light on issues of neo-colonialism.
