COLUMBIA, KY. (04/21/2025) A Pulaski County resident recently presented research at an academic symposium.
Cadence Groce ’27 of Somerset, Kentucky, presented her work at the 2025 Spring Symposium of the Lindsey Wilson College R.V. Bennett Honors Program. The symposium was held Thursday, April 17, at the college’s Honors House.
Groce, a criminal justice and women and gender studies double major, presented “Margaret Harkness’ A City Girl: A Socialist Narrative of Class and Gender.” Groce’s work examined the 1887 British novel A City Girl, in which Margaret Harkness, writing under the pseudonym John Law, painted a grim picture of working-class life in late-Victorian London. Groce worked on the project under the guidance of Lindsey Wilson Associate Professor of English Kerry Robertson.
The Lindsey Wilson R.V. Bennett Honors Program enriches students’ education by providing challenging and engaging curricular and co-curricular experiences. It is a member of the National Collegiate Honors Council and the Kentucky Honors Roundtable, where Lindsey Wilson students regularly present their work.
