The AHA records with regret the passing of Professor Trevor Burnard. Born in New Zealand in 1960, Trevor studied at the University of Otago before taking up Fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Cambridge and the University of the West Indies. Moving to Britain after a period of teaching and research in Jamaica, Trevor held chairs at Brunel and Sussex Universities before joining the Department of History at the University of Warwick in 2007, serving as Head from 2009 to 2010. The following year, he joined the School of Historical and Philosophical Studies at the University of Melbourne, where he served as Head of School and remained an Associate Director at the Enlightenment, Romanticism, and Contemporary Culture Research Unit after his departure from Australia in 2019. Trevor was more recently Director of the Wilberforce Institute at the University of Hull and held the Wilberforce Chair in Slavery. His major publications included Mastery, Tyranny, and Desire: Thomas Thistlewood and his Slaves in the Anglo-Jamaican World (2004), Planters, Merchants, and Slaves: Plantation Societies in British America, 1650 – 1820 (2015), The Plantation Machine: Atlantic Capitalism in French Saint-Domingue and British Jamaica (with John Garrigus, 2016), The Atlantic in World History, 1490-1830 (2019), Jamaica in the Age of Revolution (2020). His research has played an important role in debates about the legacies of slavery and reparations in the former British imperial world. He was a crucial driving force behind the British Group in Early American History and the European Early American Studies Association. He was also the Editor in Chief of the Oxford Bibliographies in Atlantic History and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities. The AHA pays tribute to an ‘immensely generous scholar’ who ‘gave unstintingly to all who worked with him’. He is survived by his wife, Deborah, and their family.
