Dr. Thad Williamson, Assistant Professor, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, discusses his new book, Sprawl, Justice, and Citizenship: The Civic Costs of the American Way of Life. Published in May, 2010, by Oxford University Press, the book combines the use of both political theory and empirical investigation to assess the benefits and costs of sprawling development patterns in the United States. The dissertation on which the book is based was the co-winner of the American Political Science Association’s 2005 Harold D. Lasswell Award for best doctoral thesis in the field of public policy.
