Director of The Wilberforce Institute
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Trevor Burnard. He will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege to work with him during his time at the University of Hull’s Wilberforce Institute.
Honouring the life and legacy of Professor Trevor Burnard
Trevor Burnard was a scholar of early American, imperial, world and Atlantic history, with a special interest in plantation societies in the New World and their connections to eighteenth-century modernity. Particular interests include slavery, social history and demography, imperialism, economic and business history, and gender. His work over the last decade has been especially concerned with identity in the New World in the eighteenth century and with how settler societies have been formed, or have failed to form in plantation societies in the Caribbean and the Chesapeake.
