Glenda McKissic Baylor, Oral History
No full textThis is a video recording of an oral history interview with Glenda McKissic Baylor. It was conducted September 17, 2012. The interviewer is Shannon Carter.
This interview focuses on Glenda McKissic Baylor\u27s experiences attending high school and college during desegregation in Texas and her life as an educator.
Glenda McKissic Baylor was born in Mineola, Texas. The town of Mineola, including the school district was segregated until 1966. The school district participated in a transitional program, which started the desegregation process one year before it was to be mandated. Baylor was one of the first five Black students to be sent to Mineola High School. Baylor recalled that her experience during that transitional period was largely positive and that most students were cordial, though there were times when she had to endure racial slurs. Tension was generally higher the next year, when desegregation became law. According to Baylor, most of the discord focused on school athletics teams rather than other school activities. Following her high school graduation in 1968, Baylor began attending East Texas State University (ETSU), now Texas A&M University-Commerce (TAMUC), where she majored in business.
Baylor quickly became an active member of the campus community and contributed to the development and success of two organizations at the university. She was involved in founding a chapter of Alpha Phi Kappa, which later became part of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority. She was also a member of the Afro-American Student Society of East Texas (ASSET), which was instrumental in advocating for the needs of Black students on campus. She was crowned Homecoming Queen in 1968, becoming the first Black woman at the university to hold that honor. Baylor recalled how the occasion was very exciting for her, and on some level for all the Black students, because her victory was a sign of progress. She also recalls feeling uneasy at times, as well, because she was suddenly much more visible on campus.
After graduation from ETSU, in 1971, Baylor worked as a teacher and counselor in Los Angeles, California. She married James N. Baylor in 1979. She returned to Texas and served as a Dean of Instruction and an elementary school principal for Dallas ISD until her retirement in 2000.https://lair.etamu.edu/scua-oral-history-all/1037/thumbnail.jp

Ithaka S+R religious studies project : report of interviews of religion faculty at Baylor University.
No full textThis report summarizes Baylor University’s part in the Ithaka S+R Religious Studies Project. Ithaka S+R created the Religious Studies Project in order to examine the impact in Religious Studies of shifting research emphases within the academy and of methodological shifts as faculty adopt a more interdisciplinary approach to their work. The Project also seeks to shed light on how libraries might help meet the changing research needs of faculty. Baylor, along with 17 other institutions of higher learning, participated in this study by interviewing Religion faculty and examining the results. A research team from Baylor interviewed fifteen religion faculty selected from the Department of Religion in the Baylor College of Arts and Sciences, from the Honors College, and from George W. Truett Theological Seminary. The team used a semi‐structured approach that involved asking a set of twelve questions to Religion faculty and allowing them freedom to respond to the questions in ways they deemed important. The questions invited comments related to several broad themes. Themes of particular interest highlighted here include what theories and methods do the faculty use; what kinds of sources do they typically rely upon for their research; are they publishing in any non‐ traditional venues such as open access journals, blogs, or popular presses; how are they using the library and its services; and what are some of the challenges they are experiencing themselves personally or that they perceive to be challenges in their respective disciplines
