Lewis is a Nancy and Peter Meinig Family Investigator in the Life Sciences and Associate Professor of Communication and Public Policy in the Department of Communication and the Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy. Lewis is also an Associate Professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine. He is a behavioral scientist who studies how interventions and policies can change behaviors to promote equitable outcomes in society. Lewis is interested in how people’s social contexts and identities influence how they make sense of the world around them, and the implications of those meaning-making processes for their motivation to pursue different goals in life. He is also interested in the consequences of these processes not only for individuals, but also for the communities and societies those individuals are embedded in. Most of his past research has focused on equity in education, health, and environmental sustainability.
