Audience Engagement
Bio
Meeghan Kane oversees community engagement at the South Carolina State Museum. In her role, she develops and coordinates public programs, supports and fosters community relationships and partnerships with fellow cultural institutions and organizations, and assists in the museum’s ongoing efforts to Reimagine the Experience. Her work intersects with all the museum’s departments, so she has learned a lot since she began in May 2022.
Prior to joining the museum team, Kane taught history at Benedict College for over a decade, where she specialized in African American history, 20th century cultural history, and the history of the American South. She moved to Columbia, South Carolina, from Tampa, Florida, in 2006 to join USC’s graduate program in history after completing her B.A. and M.A. at the University of South Florida.
These days, if she’s not at the museum, you’ll likely find her and her family enjoying nice meals in local restaurants, daytripping to the mountains, camping in SC’s state parks, and road-tripping back home to Florida.
