    THE MAKINGS OF MEN: The Institutionalization of Class and Masculinity at a Historically Black College for Men by Saida Grundy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Women’s Studies and Sociology) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alford A. Young Jr., Chair Professor Michael Awkward Professor Sarah Fenstermaker Associate Professor Karyn R. Lacy © SAIDA GRUNDY 2014 DEDICATION On July 28, 2014, Only four days after the successful defense of this dissertation, the life of one of its most popular, beloved and contagiously gregarious respondents was cut short on a North Carolina highway. In this study, he is known as “Roy.” In life, he was Myron Burney, a father, husband, friend to thousands, and the undisputed heart and soul of the Morehouse College Class of 1998. This dissertation is for Myron and for the son he leaves behind. …And for Ann & Chester Grundy, to whom I owe…everything. …And to Garvey & Gibran Meadows, to whom I will pay forward the debt ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are hundreds of hands that have pushed and lifted me to this point of completion. At Michigan, this has notably included Drs. Alford Young Jr., Maria Johnson, L’Heureux Lewis, Lumas Helaire, and Courtney Cogburn. I have also been supported by a dream team of those who know and love me, many of whom traveled this PhD path before me. This list has included Drs. Marc Hill, Sherie Randolph, “Mama” Kimya Moyo and Juan Battle, my beloved closest friend/lay therapist, Ms. Tiffany Griffin, my sister Tulani Grundy Meadows and her husband, my consigliere, Othello Meadows, and dozens more who were individually essential to my survival here, and who were godsends when I became sick and afraid.
