Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJacob Lewis is an associate professor and comparative politics scholar with 11+ years bridging academic research and on-the-ground program management in Africa and the Middle East. He investigates how governance, corruption, and political grievances drive mobilization into social movements and militant groups using mixed methods—quantitative, geospatial, experimental fieldwork, and qualitative interviews. Prior to academia he managed large USAID-funded stabilization, anti-corruption, and transboundary water programs across East Africa and Afghanistan, overseeing multi-million-dollar budgets and multi-lingual teams. Comfortable moving between rigorous large-n data collection and practical program design, he routinely translates scholarly insights into actionable development interventions. Based in Pullman, Washington, he continues to collaborate with development organizations to design and evaluate governance and democratization programming.
