This qualitative research study engages men of Color (MOC) undergraduate students in a collaborative inquiry that illuminates their lived experiences at a Hispanic-Serving Institution through a culturally relevant method, Chicana/Feminista pláticas. During pláticas the participants and I co-construct knowledge, heal, and engage in reciprocity through open and unstructured conversations and storytelling. MOC in higher education share common experiences of wearing an oppressive mask of silence that conceals their emotions and vulnerability in one context, but may be open to expressing themselves authentically without the mask in another context. This study examines the sense-making of how men of color engage with the university as gendered and racialized beings.
