Vincent Brown serves as the Charles Warren Professor of American History and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University, based in the Center for Government and International Studies (CGIS) South Building. His academic work centers on Atlantic history with a focus on the African diaspora and slavery in the Americas.
His research expertise spans Atlantic History, African Diaspora Studies, and Slavery, with deep engagement in Digital History methodologies, Early American History, Imperial History, and Race studies. Brown examines power dynamics, resistance movements, and cultural identity formation within 17th-18th century Atlantic contexts, particularly in the Caribbean. His interdisciplinary approach integrates spatial analysis and digital tools to reinterpret historical narratives of slavery and empire.
Analysis of his publications (2011-2024) reveals sustained focus on slave revolts as transnational phenomena, spatial history through digital mapping, and multimedia scholarship. His work demonstrates evolution from textual analysis in The Reaper's Garden (2008) to immersive cartographic projects like the Jamaican slave revolt mapping (2012-2016), culminating in documentary production (Herskovits at the Heart of Blackness, 2009; The Bigger Picture, 2022). Recent outputs show increasing engagement with public history and interdisciplinary connections between political geography, racial terror, and cultural memory.
