My name is Kenny Wilcox and I am currently a senior at Old Dominion University, I will graduate in Fall 2026 with a BA in History and English. Over my career at ODU, I have been an archiving intern for the Tidewater Queer History Project, I have given multiple research conference presentations, and I have received funding awards for my research projects. My research focuses on local queer history in the Tidewater area as well as the history of queer publications.

After graduation, I plan to attend graduate school to gain more experience in academia and gain more opportunities to research and publish my works. In my career, I would like to work in public history, in archives, museums, or community education. I do plan to continue focusing my research on queer history and people.
