Megan Groninger is the first to fill the newly-created office of graduate student representative on the NACBS Council. Megan is a fourth-year PhD student at Florida State University, and she focuses on 19th century British history with minor fields in gender and sexuality, the Atlantic World, and the Islamic World. Her dissertation examines constructions of motherhood as a site from which to argue for broader social and political agendas from the early to mid-19th century and the way these constructions intersected with both class and race. She is a previous recipient of the NACBS M.A. Essay Prize and has been active in the Southern Conference on British Studies.
