  • "Gay" and "Straight" Rodeo
    COWBOY UP: GENDER AND SEXUALITY IN CALGARY'S "GAY" AND "STRAIGHT" RODEO by JONATHAN HANVELT B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2001 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN SOCIOLOGY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of'Anthropology and Sociology) We accept this thesis as conforming tojhe required standard THE UNVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October 2004 ©Jonathan Hanvelt, 2004 ABSTRACT This thesis addresses varying constructions and expressions of masculinities in two of the rodeo communities in Calgary, Alberta. For this work, I focus on the rodeo produced by the Alberta Rockies Gay Rodeo Association and the one produced by the Calgary Stampede. Using a combination of participant observation and textual analysis, I examine the ways in which the institutional bodies of the rodeos, as well as some of the community members, construct and communicate definite ideas about gender and sexuality. Using ConneU's concept of 'hegemonic masculinity,' I describe the Calgary Stampede as a place where the major tenets of that masculinity are represented, enacted, and thereby reinforced. This includes ideologically divided gender roles, a privileging of whiteness, and a compulsory heterosexuality. Conversely, I found the gay rodeo to be a site of great resistance to that hegemonic construct in terms of both gender and sexuality. At an institutional level, the gay rodeo produces a space that refuses to confine itself to the strict confines that are dictated in straight rodeo. This subversion is quite extensive and can even be seen as an arena in which gender is detached from the sexed subject.

  • A Way of Life Knowledge Production Among Black Cowboys
    A WAY OF LIFE: KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION AMONG BLACK COWBOYS A Dissertation by MYESHIA CHANEL BABERS Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Cynthia A. Werner Committee Members, Tom Green David A. Donkor Joseph O. Jewell Head of Department, Cynthia A. Werner December 2017 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2017 Myeshia Chanel Babers ABSTRACT This project is an ethnography that engages participants and readers in multifaceted and multi-vocal formations of black masculinity and manhood in Western culture. I will present narratives set in different venues for black Western cultural practices where black cowboys communicate information about gender roles and norms. I represent black masculinities among three groups, or types of cowboys— ranchers, rodeo cowboys, and Trail riders— to capture multiple masculinities. In this study, I define black cowboys as Black/African-Americans who participate in ranching, rodeoing, and trailriding. I also make references to Black women who participate in these Western cultural practices and I consider them to be cowboys as well. My broader research question asks how black men transmit cultural information about masculinity through black Western cultural practices. I examine intimate moments of exchange among some groups of contemporary cowboys and look at mechanisms they use to shift racist ideologies. Where knowledge is currency, the person who understands how social and cultural capital is at stake is also able to code switch and maintain a balance in social-cultural differences of opinion. As a black cowboy, the professional rodeo roper destabilizes notions of blackness.

    Fred Whitfield may be well on his way to becoming the “Six Million Dollar Man” but for now he’ll settle for being the “Three Million Dollar Man”, one who also just happens to have 8 World Titles to his name as well as countless arena records. The Hockley, Texas resident is synonymous with tie-town roping; crowds leap to their feet when his name is announced and their applause only intensifies when Fred does his signature “raise the roof” after successfully roping his calf. Having been a PRCA card-carrying member for almost 25 years, Fred Whitfield has been a hero and a teacher to many of the guys who rope alongside him today. At 6’2” and 210 pounds he certainly has a dominating presence, both in and out of the arena. Whitfield has won almost every major rodeo that exists, from Cheyenne Frontier Days to the Houston. Livestock Show & Rodeo. He’s had 7 Hall of Fame inductions including the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, Texas all of Fame just to name a few. To say Whitfield has “been there, done that” is an understatement. He’s seen the good and the bad, both of which helped him in penning his book “Gold Buckles Don’t Lie”. In 2010 Whitfield was approached about writing his book, an idea he says, “I always kind of had.” “Gold Buckles Don’t Lie” was released in 2013 and the response was overwhelming; “I just wanted to tell the real story, about overcoming obstacles, and not coming from a rodeo family”.

  • 2020 WPRA Wrangler NFR Standings
    Women’s Professional Rodeo Association 72 years of Women in Rodeo The Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) is the oldest women’s sports organization in the country. The Association started in 1948 with a group of Texas ranch women who wanted to add a little color and femininity to the rough-and-tumble sport of rodeo. A major move at the time, 38 women met at the St. Angelus Hotel in San Angelo, Texas, on February 28, 1948, to change the way they were being treated in the male-dominated world of rodeo. These women banded together to create the very first professional sports association created solely for women by women – the Girls Rodeo Association (GRA). The women knew they had an uphill climb to make a go of the association but it was one they all wanted to try. The group’s primary purpose was to give women legitimate, honest opportunities to compete in all-girl rodeos as well as to establish an alliance with the Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA- later became the PRCA) to host women’s events in conjunction with RCA-sanctioned rodeos. They drafted and approved rules and regulations, and they enacted a point system to crown world champions. Their rules took effect in May 1948, and GRA board members went to work, persuading rodeo committees and producers to hold women’s contests according to GRA rules. Committees were given the option of choosing which event they would hold (bronc riding, cutting or barrel racing), and most picked barrel racing. In its inaugural year, the GRA had 74 members and they held 60 events with a total payout of $29,000.
