Acclaimed Urban Affairs Expert to Head UTSA Public Administration Program Cited widely in professional literature and frequently quoted by news media--most recently the New York Times--regarding his research on urban-renewal and community development policies as well as the politics of urban infrastructure, Sanders was a member of the Trinity University faculty for 18 years. There, he rose to the rank of professor, teaching in the urban administration and political science departments, before becoming director of Trinity’s Urban Studies Program in 1998. "Sanders’ extensive knowledge of urban issues coupled with more than 25 years in higher education and research will be invaluable for UTSA, in every respect as the University pursues a higher profile in research activities," said Jesse T. Zapata, vice provost for UTSA Downtown, where the University’s public administration program is based. Before joining Trinity, Sanders was a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C., and an assistant professor at the University of Illinois Institute of Government and Public Affairs at Urbana-Champaign. He also was a visiting assistant professor in political science at Brown University and a senior program analyst for the U.S. Department of Housing and Development’s Office of Evaluation/Community Planning and Development. He is the co-editor of two books, "The Politics of Urban Development" and "Urban Texas: Politics and Development," and the author of more than three dozen published journal articles, many with a focus on local urban issues. Sanders earned an undergraduate degree in political science at Johns Hopkins University and a doctorate in government at Harvard University, where he was both a Woodrow Wilson National Fellow and a Charles Abrams Fellow at the Harvard/MIT Joint Center for Urban Studies.
