Biography
Robert W. Lancaster, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University, and a Certified General Real Estate Appraiser. His primary research interests center on sustainability theory (urban sustainability to sustainable design), critical theory, and most things that involve power, as well as the impact of sustainability on construction and appraisal valuation techniques, across the Americas. He has published and lectured internationally on sustainability as policy, particularly the effects of sustainability on the political and public spheres. His first book, titled “Getting From Here to There?: Power, Politics and Urban Sustainability” (2016) takes the study of sustainable cities into the realm of analysis and critique that has not been seriously investigated in any explicit and systematic manner: the sphere of power and politics. He is currently looking to blend his research to reflect the power of sustainability and its impact on real estate development and social equity Research Interest
