This talk stems from an interdisciplinary project bridging memoir, anthropological observations, ethnographic accounts, and testimonios that describe the experiences of a group of men of color at the University of Michigan who hold membership in a historically based Latin American fraternity in the Trump era.

Examine how these men of color experience both expectations and disidentifications with masculinity while using the performing arts (music, theater, and dance) as a tool that allows them to create a comfortable space for them to come in and out of a desired and hegemonic masculinity.
