Jewell Head of Department, Judith Hamera May 2012 Major Subject: Performance Studies iii ABSTRACT Queer Utopian Performance at Texas A&M University. (May 2012) Dana Nicole Sayre, B.A.; B.A, Fairmont State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Judith Hamera Through a combination of personal interviews and participant-observation in three field sites – the Tim Miller workshop and performance of October 2010 and the student organizations Cepheid Variable and the GLBT Aggies – I argue that manifestations of utopian desire and performance circulate within and among marginalized groups on the Texas A&M University campus, undermining the heteronormative and monolithic utopia the university attempts to present. I participated in each night of rehearsal during the Tim Miller workshop, as well as the creation and performance of my own solo autobiographical monologue as a part of the ensemble. My participant-observation in Cepheid Variable and the GLBT Aggies was concurrent, consisting of attendance at both weekly organizational meetings and outside events sponsored by the organizations over two years.

Partnering with us enables our college to attain the vision we cast in our 2017-2021 Strategic Plan — to advance the world’s prosperity by being a vibrant learning organization that creates impactful knowledge and develops transformational leaders. In this edition of @Mays, we highlight the impactful knowledge that we are creating and disseminating. Texas A&M is a Tier One research institution, which puts the university in the top-tier of all universities in the country. In fact, we are a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU) — one of 60 universities in the U.S. and two in Canada — producing innovative scholarship and solutions. These 60 universities award nearly one half of all U.S. doctoral degrees. Mays Business School is proud of its tradition of creating and disseminating impactful research across our academic disciplines — Accounting, Finance, Information and Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, Management and Marketing.

Type any name of our faculty in Google Scholar and see for yourself. What happens in research permeates every facet of business and society. This edition of @Mays will spotlight a few of our scholars addressing social impact using quantitative methods, such as data analytics. Research feeds our teaching mission. As Dr. Stephanie Bryant, my friend and colleague at AACSB International states, we are developing graduates who are fully prepared both technically and managerially to take on solving society’s grand challenges.
