Thank you Gordon, Gene, Jim, Fran, Ed, Brenda, and Tom to sharing your stories with me. I hope that your stories can inspire and inform the current and next generation of antiracists in the United States. Misha, thank you for being a supportive wife and partner during the last five years. You continuously support my dreams, and I look forward to our future together. To everyone in the CCRW (crew), from Tuesday/Thursday night kickball, to sushi, to concernts, you have given me and Misha family here in Knoxville and helped to keep me sane. Hope Fellowship, you have been the church family that we have needed in Knoxville, and my story would not be what it is today without the love, support, and spiritual guidance you have provided me. Special thanks goes to Dominique, you have been more than a pastor, you have been a brother. To my Texas friends and family, sorry that I had to come all the way to Tennessee to get this done, but alas, I made it! To my cohort, thanks for all of the encouragement you have given me…and the food. Classes, especially on Saturdays, would have been a whole lot longer without it. To the ELPS faculty and staff, thank you for giving me the proper guidance and support to fulfill this dream of mine. To my committee, I am slightely biased, but I am pretty positive I had the Dream Team equivilant of a committee! Dr. Karen Boyd (DKB) , you have fostered my interest in exploring the past to inform the future. I hope to inspire students as you have me someday. Dr. Jud Laughter (Jud), conversations with you helped me to sort through my ideas as well as shift my perspectives. Dr. Lois Presser (Dr. Lo), you showed me that my research was worth pursuing, iv and gave me space to find my voice as a scholar. Lastly, Dr. Dorian L. McCoy (Dorian), there is not much to say other than, I hope to make you proud as a professor one day. You have shown me the value to being meticoulous (I am still working on eliminating prepositional phrases), demonstrated how to be a caring father and husband, and how to “take the glasses off” from time to time. We have come a VERY long way from that first paper in Qualitative Methods! Lastly, to Mom and Mike. Its your shoulders that I stand on. I love you. v Abstract Historically, the study of racial identity has focused on Groups of Color (Jardina, 2019). This myopic focus has left White people and scholars deficient in White racial literacy and critical consciousness (Tatum, 1994; Wise, 2005, 2008). Moreover, there are inadequate historical accounts of White anti-racist exemplars to examine how White people develop racial literacy, and how racial identities play a role in students’ decisions to engage in activism (Ayvazian, 2004; Laughter, 2007; Malott et al., 2019; O’Brien, 2001; Smith & Redington, 2010; Spanierman & Smith, 2017). This narrative inquiry collected the critical life histories of seven southern White people who identified as activists and participated in the Civil Rights Movement. Their critical life histories were collected to inform and demonstrate how southern White students came to participate in the Civil Rights Movement, despite being socialized in a society that was overtly racist (Diniz-Pereira, 2008). The narratives that the participants shared contributed to the literature by providing an understanding of how southern White people developed their anti- racist and activist identities. These narratives can aid current and future higher education administrators, educators, and researchers in understanding how White students develop anti- racist identity, and how they may become better at supporting Black and other People of Color. vi Table of Contents CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................ 1 THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF WHITENESS ........................................................ 5 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM .................................................................................. 6 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY .............................................................................................. 8 RESEARCH QUESTIONS ................................................................................................ 8 THEORETICAL FRAME .................................................................................................. 8 METHODOLOGY ........................................................................................................... 10 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY.................................................................................. 10 SUMMARY AND ORGANIZATION ............................................................................. 12 CHAPTER II: REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE .......................................................... 14 HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF STUDENT ACTIVISM IN HIGHER EDUCATION . 14 THE COLONIAL PERIOD AND THE 19TH CENTURY ........................................................... 15 THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY ............................................................................................ 16 THE 1940S AND 1950S ................................................................................................... 19 1960S: THE ERA OF UNREST .......................................................................................... 22 THE STUDENT MOVEMENT ............................................................................................ 23 WHITENESS .................................................................................................................... 25 WHITE SOCIALIZATION .................................................................................................. 27 WHITE PRIVILEGE .......................................................................................................... 28 WHITE RACIAL IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT ...................................................................... 30 THE HELMS MODEL OF WHITE RACIAL IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT (WRID) .................. 32 Contact. ..................................................................................................................... 35 Disintegration. .......................................................................................................... 35 Reintegration............................................................................................................. 36 Pseudoindependence. ................................................................................................ 36 Immersion/Emersion ................................................................................................. 36 Autonomy. ................................................................................................................. 37 WHITE RACIAL IDENTITY ATTITUDES SCALE (WRIAS) ................................................ 37 ACTIVIST IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT ............................................................................... 38 RECONSTRUCTION VS.

It was hustle, and a determination to see it with his own 13 eyes"; and 14 WHEREAS, shortly after becoming the chief Southern correspondent for the Times in 1958, 15 he was thrust into the recurring racial upheavals in Little Rock, Arkansas; over the next six 16 years, he reported on the flash points and shifting fault lines of the civil rights struggle; and 17 WHEREAS, Mr. Sitton had a large impact on the reporting of the civil rights movement, the 18 federal government's response, and the movement itself; and 19 WHEREAS, compared with other reporters, Mr.

Conflict, Postconflict, and the Functions of Higher Education: Lessons from Colombia and other Armed Conflicts Dissertation by: Iván Francisco Pacheco Dissertation Director: Philip G. Altbach Abstract “Education and conflict” has emerged as a new field of study during the last two decades. However, higher education is still relatively absent from this debate as most of the research has focused on primary and non-formal education. This dissertation is an exploratory qualitative study on the potential role of higher education in peacebuilding processes. The conceptual framework for the study is a taxonomy of the functions of higher education designed by the author. The questions guiding the dissertation are: 1) What can we learn about the role of higher education in conflict and postconflict from the experience of countries that have suffered internal conflicts in the last century? 2) How are universities in Colombia affected by the ongoing armed conflict in the country? 3) How can Colombian higher education contribute to build sustainable peace in the country? ! ! First, based on secondary sources, the dissertation explores seven armed conflicts that took place during the twentieth century.

Transcribed by/date: Emily Baran, August 2007, Chapel Hill, NC Edited by/date: Dana Di Maio, December 2008, Chapel Hill, NC JM: This is the twelfth of July, Thursday, 2007. My name is Joe Mosnier. I am in Oxford, Georgia at the home of Mr. Claude Sitton, and we are here to do an oral history interview for the series on the Raleigh News and Observer that Mr. Frank Daniels Jr. has helped to set in motion. CS: Joe, would you make that The News and Observer of Raleigh? JM: The News and Observer of Raleigh, indeed, thank you. CS: That’s the correct title, The News and Observer. Now I’ll tell you this, Frank Daniels III changed the name of the newspaper after I left and he changed it from The News and Observer to The News & Observer. I had a hard time getting over that because I think the last thing you touch on a newspaper is the title, but that’s okay; it’s neither here nor there. JM: From that careful remark, I’m already anticipating that this is going to be a good and detailed and careful interview, so that’s wonderful, thank you, Claude.
