Dr. Tayzhaun Glover received a Ph.D. in History from Duke University in 2024. He also received a B.A. in Africana Studies, Anthropology, and French from Franklin & Marshall College in 2017. He is primarily interested in the seaborne mobility practices of freedom-seeking enslaved men, women, and children in the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Eastern Caribbean, and the Americas, more broadly. He engages with questions about labor, geography, law, and European and Indigenous sovereignty to understand how enslaved people conceptualized refuge, liberty, and freedom based on their geopolitical knowledge of their worlds. His research has received support from Fulbright France, The McNeil Center for Early American Studies, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the Duke History and African and African American Studies departments, and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. He is currently a Mellon Humanities Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the National Park Service where he researches and interprets the legacy of enslaved people from the Chesapeake who joined the Colonial Marines during the War of 1812
