Professor Bryant graduated from the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, with a B.A. in History and an M.L.A. in Florida Studies. He received his Doctorate from Florida International University, where he specialized in colonial Atlantic history, specifically emphasizing Colonial Latin America, the Caribbean, and Atlantic Slavery.

His primary research focuses on how people from all over the Atlantic world passed through Florida, linking the Spanish Caribbean to the Southern British Colonies. At Flagler, Professor Bryant teaches a variety of classes on colonialism in U.S. and Latin American History that encourage students to challenge preconceived ideas about colonialism in North America to develop transferable skills that translate to any career after college.
