Trevor Bryant

Trevor Bryant serves as Assistant Professor of History and Director of Public History at Flagler College within the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Department of Humanities, having joined the institution in 2023.

His academic credentials include a Bachelor of Arts in History and Master of Liberal Arts with Florida Studies concentration from the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg, followed by a Doctorate in Atlantic History from Florida International University where he specialized in Colonial Latin America, Caribbean history, and Atlantic Slavery.

Professor Bryant's research examines cross-Atlantic mobilities, particularly how free and enslaved Africans navigated 18th-century Spanish Caribbean boundaries to challenge imperial policies. His current book project 'Enslavement, Smuggling, or Wandering: Free and Forced Mobilities in the 18th Century Spanish Caribbean' anchors this work, complemented by studies in comparative colonial history, captive mobilities, public/digital history, and regional Florida/Caribbean scholarship. He emphasizes how Florida served as a connective corridor between the Spanish Caribbean and British Southern colonies.

Teaching responsibilities include Introductions to Latin America, Modern and Colonial U.S. History, World History, Historical Methods, History of Cuba, Smuggling and Piracy in Colonial Florida, Comparative Conquests of the Americas, St. Augustine in World History, and The American Revolution from the Outside. His pedagogy encourages students to deconstruct colonial narratives while developing career-transferable analytical skills.
