Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate how Latino men’s conceptions of masculinities influenced their attitudes and behaviors during the transition from community colleges to 4-year institutions. Method: A phenomenological approach was used to explore the lived experiences of 34 Latino men across Texas, California, and Florida. Each participant was interviewed twice; all data were recorded, transcribed, and coded for themes. Results: Findings suggest that, although prior conceptions of masculinities can sometimes provide positive tools during transfer, these conceptions also cause challenges as men negotiate incongruences between their masculine identity and what is required to succeed in college. Participation in on-campus men’s groups and student organizations can help Latino students navigate these incongruences and negotiate their own intersectional identities and conceptualizations of masculinities in light of their new environment. Contributions: This study demonstrates that Latino men continue to face challenges related to masculinities and identity conflicts during the community college to 4-year institution transfer process. Future research might further investigate how the multiple, intersecting identities of Latino men (e.g., sexuality, class) influence masculinities and transfer experiences. Implications for practice include a recommendation that institutions consider creating on-campus spaces and learning environments to support men in navigating masculinities.
拉丁裔男性与男子气概:社区大学转学经验的多机构研究
目的:本研究的目的是探讨拉丁裔男性在从社区大学到四年制大学的过渡过程中对男性气质的观念如何影响他们的态度和行为。方法:采用现象学方法对德克萨斯州、加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州34名拉丁裔男性的生活经历进行了研究。每位参与者接受两次访谈;对所有数据进行记录、转录和主题编码。结果:研究结果表明,虽然先前的男子气概观念有时可以在转移过程中提供积极的工具,但这些观念也会带来挑战,因为男性会在他们的男性身份与大学成功所需的东西之间进行协商。参与校园男性团体和学生组织可以帮助拉丁裔学生处理这些不一致,并根据他们的新环境协商他们自己的交叉身份和男性气质的概念。贡献:本研究表明拉丁裔男性在社区大学到4年制大学的转学过程中继续面临与男性气质和身份冲突相关的挑战。未来的研究可能会进一步调查拉丁裔男性的多重交叉身份(例如,性取向、阶级)如何影响男性气质和转移经历。对实践的启示包括建议机构考虑创建校园空间和学习环境,以支持男性导航男性化。

期刊介绍: The Community College Review (CCR) has led the nation for over 35 years in the publication of scholarly, peer-reviewed research and commentary on community colleges. CCR welcomes manuscripts dealing with all aspects of community college administration, education, and policy, both within the American higher education system as well as within the higher education systems of other countries that have similar tertiary institutions. All submitted manuscripts undergo a blind review. When manuscripts are not accepted for publication, we offer suggestions for how they might be revised. The ultimate intent is to further discourse about community colleges, their students, and the educators and administrators who work within these institutions.
