His research centers on American literary traditions with specialized focus on New Jersey's cultural heritage. He examines intersections between canonical literature and popular forms like comics, while actively preserving regional voices through presentations on Henry Morford, Stephen Crane, and Margaret Widdemer at historical societies.
His 2022 publication 'Where Comics Meet Classics' exemplifies his methodology of bridging high and low culture, revealing how superhero narratives engage with classical archetypes within American cultural discourse.
Blair served as advisor for The Monmouth Review (1997-2010) and teaches diverse courses including American Realism, New Jersey Literature, and Superheroes: Echoes of Epic. He maintains robust community engagement through the Monmouth County Library and multiple historical associations, recently lecturing on forgotten Jersey Shore writers in July 2025.
