Dr. Grant Blume is a teaching faculty member at the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance and currently serves as the Evans School’s Director of Undergraduate Programs. Grant teaches courses on policy analysis, program evaluation, and research methods at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral level. He brings a racial equity lens to much of his teaching and invites students to center anti-racism approaches in their public policy studies. Grant’s current research agenda focuses on the intersections among public management, public policy, social equity, and institutional racism. His present research projects include theoretical work around racialized administrative power as the status quo in American public administration, the need to better define environmental justice’s conceptual constructs, and how Targeted Universalism can inform policy analysis focused on social structures and institutions. Grant serves as a Co-Principal Investigator and the Deputy Director for Policy Analysis at the Ocean Nexus Center. In this role Grant supervises a policy analysis and research lab at the Evans School (comprising primarily Evans School PhD students) and supports professional development activities for our worldwide network of Ocean Nexus fellows.
