Before joining ɫ��TV in 2011, Dr. Lewkowicz served as a visiting faculty member at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Kent State University and Iowa State University.

Lewkowicz’s academic interests are varied, but his research focuses upon political behavior, especially political participation, as well as teaching pedagogy addressing Open Education Resources (OERs). At GGC, Lewkowicz has taught a variety of courses in American politics, with topics ranging from governmental institutions (e.g., the presidency, Congress, state/local government) to constitutional law, to public policy.

In 2005, Lewkowicz organized “A Republic if We Can Keep It: The Fragility of Democracy,” a two-day symposium consisting of panels, roundtables and guest speakers addressing a variety of topics and themes of democracy in the United States and around the world.
