About
Juan D. Delgado's research focuses on the comparative study of race and ethnicity in Latin America, analyzing long-term processes of social inequality, statistical invisibility, and political organization of people of African descent in Colombia and Mexico. He develops mixed-method strategies combining data from censuses and surveys, archival sources, in-depth interviews, and ethnographic observations. His current work focuses on census politics and the struggles over the official categorization of Blackness. His research has received generous support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Inter-American Foundation (IAF), and the Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies at UCSD.
