He was the founding leader for the Bonner Center for Civic Engagement at the University of Richmond, USA. He served for five years as director and then executive director before returning to the classroom full-time in 2009.

He is frequently quoted in the national media on topics including religion andethics in public leadership, religion in the workplace and on poverty and inequality. He has authored several books and numerous articles on these topics. DR. THAD WILLIAMSONjoined the Jepson faculty in 2005 and quickly established himself as a sought-after professor and a civic activist. His latest book 'Sprawl, Justice, and Citizenship: The Civic Costs of the American Way of Life' waspublished in May 2010 by Oxford University Press. The book combines the use of both normative political theory and empirical investigation to assess the benefits and costs of sprawling development patterns in the United States. Empirically, the book uses Census Data and the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey to assess the impact of sprawling neighborhoods on quality of life, social trust, political ideology and political participation. Normatively, the book critically compares how utilitarian, liberal egalitarian and civic republican normative perspectives assess sprawl as a policy issue. 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.
