Brendon G. Floyd serves as a University of Missouri DPAA Research Partner Fellow, through the History Department and the Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy. His role involves conducting historical research to aid the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) in its mission “to provide the fullest possible accounting for our missing personnel to their families and the nation.”. Additionally, he is in the process of transforming his dissertation, “On Strange Tide: The United Irishmen, Conscription, and Liminal Spaces in the Revolutionary Atlantic,” into a book manuscript. This study delves into the conscription of the United Irishmen into the British military during the 1798 Irish Rebellion and their ensuing experiences. It underscores the importance of transitional spaces in the Atlantic story of these Irish insurgents, the radical networks they engaged with, and the impact these networks and conscripts had on the 1798 mutinies in the British Channel and Mediterranean Fleets.
