Lastly, thank you to the faculty of the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College for providing this opportunity to learn and stretch myself creatively. iii ABSTRACT MITCHELL DOWDEN: The Grove: Stories of Cultivating Connections (Under the direction of Scott Fiene) This thesis studies the University of Mississippi’s tailgating area known as the Grove.
