Biography

Dr. Nicholas Crawford's scholarship has probed the connections between slavery, food, and freedom in eighteenth and nineteenth century North America and the Caribbean. He is at work on his first book project, Sustaining Slavery: Food, Provisioning, Power, and Protest in the British Caribbean, 1788-1838. His work has been supported by a bevy of prestigious research fellowships, including from the Gilder-Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale; the Huntington Library; the John Carter Brown Library; and the Library Company of Philadelphia. He has published articles in Early American Studies and Slavery & Abolition. 

For two years, Dr. Crawford served as a postdoctoral instructor at Washington University in St. Louis; he also taught a graduate course on American Economic History at Brooklyn College.
