The Myth of Left and Right

Dr. Verlan Lewis is the Stirling Professor of Constitutional Studies at Utah Valley University where he teaches and writes about the myth of the widespread "left-right" political spectrum and how Americans can develop more civic charity and disagree better. His writing has been published by The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, and Political Science Quarterly, among others. He earned graduate degrees from Cambridge University and the University of Virginia, and has held academic fellowships at Stanford University and Harvard University. His recent co-authored book, The Myth of Left and Right, shows how the familiar left-right political spectrum harms America by undermining constitutional government in the United States.
