Background

About Lakendria Kenner

I am a dedicated scholar and educator specializing in American history, African American history, and women's history. Currently, I serve as a Professor of Record in The School of Africana and Multicultural Studies at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where I’ve been contributing to the academic community for over a year. My journey in academia began in 2018 as a Graduate Assistant, where I developed a strong foundation in teaching and research. My research delves into the intersections of race, gender, and history, exploring how these elements shape and are shaped by American society. I am particularly interested in the ways historical narratives can illuminate contemporary social issues and contribute to a more inclusive understanding of the past. Looking ahead, I aim to continue advancing my research while nurturing the next generation of scholars. I am passionate about contributing to scholarly discussions and academic publications that enrich our understanding of diverse historical perspectives. Let's connect if you share my interests in history, education, or if you’re looking to collaborate on research projects or academic initiatives!
