The underrepresentation and underperformance of men of color relative to women of color within institutions of higher education have been extensively studied the past 20 years. The purpose of this study is to understand trends in how this research has been conducted rather than understand “best practices” to support this student population. To achieve this, we reviewed 153 pieces of scholarship from 1999 to 2019 using an intersectional and critical content analysis approach. Findings revealed that the bulk of scholarship involved onetime interviews for its empirical foundations, and the overwhelming majority centered the racial experiences of Black and Latinx men. In contrast, few analyses critically explored gender, sexual orientation, or social class. Additionally, scholarship that centered Asian American, Indigenous, multiracial, and trans* men of color was scant or nonexistent. Given these large gaps in the knowledge base, we offer guidance for the next generation of men of color in higher education scholarship in terms of analytical foci, theoretical frameworks, and methodologies.

在过去的 20 年里，高等教育机构内有色人种男性相对于有色人种女性的代表性不足和表现不佳的问题得到了广泛研究。这项研究的目的是了解这项研究是如何进行的趋势，而不是了解支持这一学生群体的“最佳实践”。为了实现这一目标，我们使用交叉和关键内容分析方法审查了 1999 年至 2019 年的 153 份奖学金。调查结果显示，大部分奖学金都涉及对其经验基础的一次性采访，并且绝大多数都集中在黑人和拉丁裔男性的种族经历上。相比之下，很少有分析批判性地探讨性别、性取向或社会阶层。此外，以亚裔美国人、土著、多种族、和跨*有色人种很少或根本不存在。鉴于知识库中的这些巨大差距，我们在分析重点、理论框架和方法方面为高等教育学术界的下一代有色人种提供指导。
