  • “This Is My Texas A&M:” the Interplay of Institutional and Individual
    “THIS IS MY TEXAS A&M:” THE INTERPLAY OF INSTITUTIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL “NARRATIVES OF DIFFERENCE” IN HIGHER EDUCATION A Dissertation by ALEXANDRA NATALIA NICOLE SCHUUR SOUSA 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, J. Kevin Barge Co-Chair of Committee, Anna Wolfe Committee Members, Srividya Ramasubramanian Elsa Gonzalez Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge May 2019 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2019 Alexandra N. Sousa ABSTRACT Although most colleges and universities claim to be committed to the values of diversity and inclusion, repeated race-related incidents across the nation highlight the ongoing need to engage issues of race on college campuses. However, it is important to explore these issues at the institutional and individual level. Narratives are an important way to engage this interplay because they serve as tools for both institutional and individual identity negotiation. In particular, I am focused on “narratives of difference,” which I define as those that explore experiences of difference and identity. As such, this study examines how institutional and individual “narratives of difference” interact within institutions of higher education to influence core organizational narratives and students’ relationship to the institution. In order to engage this central problem, I employed three methodologies: (1) archival analysis, (2) photovoice, and (3) walking tour interviews. What I found is that Texas A&M has framed its core institutional narratives, which are grounded in its (military) history, traditions, and core values, to reinforce the notion of the “Aggie Family” as inherently inclusive.

    THE TEXAS A&M FOUNDATION MAGAZINE | S P R I N G 2 0 1 2 PresiDent’s letter is Your Class in the top 20? everal years ago, i visited with an old friend and former commandant at the u.s. air Force academy, Gen. Pat Gamble ’67. Pat lamented the absence of a class system at the air Force academy, which he said led to a “me first at all costs” environment. he said the heavy competition and elevation through the cadet ranks was based purely on individual achievement relative to others. our chat made me realize what a profound influence the class system has on texas a&M. the experience of being differentiated by class has been powerful throughout most of our history. in addition to achievement and elevation through cadet ranks, the class system provided the opportunity for emergent leaders— your classmates bestowed the mantle of leadership based on your innate qualities and ability to have them follow you with no prescribed authority. our class system has also created rivalry between classes, building a “we” above “me” attitude among aggies. With time the rivalry fades to some degree, but we never lose it. it certainly has not faded within the Class of ’67, and i take pride in doing my part to egg on the rivalry—both with other classes and among my classmates—in regards to giving back to texas a&M. the Class of ’67 is nowhere close to the most philanthropic class. Many of us arrived on campus as the sons of sharecroppers and refinery workers.
