Bio

Dr. Blanco’s research agenda seeks to understand the roles and implications of race and ethnicity in the public administrative apparatus of the U.S. and Mexico, where he was born and raised. He is particularly interested in how ethnoracial inequalities may be produced, reinforced, and addressed within and through public organizations and public policies.

Prior to obtaining his PhD, Professor Blanco worked extensively in academia and the public sector. He has experience as a community organizer, and also as a consultant, researcher and instructor in public administration and public policy in both the U.S. and Mexico. 

Dr. Blanco has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration Staats Emerging Scholar Award, and the American Society for Public Administration Founders’ Fellowship. He was also named as one of ten Diverse Rising Graduate Scholars in 2021, a national award given by Diverse: Issues in Higher Education to graduate students with the potential to make significant contributions to equity and social justice scholarship in their respective fields.
