Andrew M. Lucker is currently researching a book on American polling pioneer Samuel Lubell. Dr. Lucker also published a chapter on the Ohio legislative process for a co-edited book entitled Ohio Politics that was released in 2009.

His first book, V. O. Key Jr., The Quintessential Political Scientist (New York: Peter Lang Publishing, 2001) focused on an extensive examination of the work and life of one of the most important American political scientists of the twentieth century, V. O. Key, Jr. (1908-1963). His research was based on Key’s voluminous personal papers, interviews with his family, colleagues, and graduate students, plus a thorough study of all of his published and unpublished writings, much of which is not readily accessible today.

Dr. Lucker is an active participant in the American Political Science Association, the Southern Political Science Association, and the Ohio Association of Economists and Political Scientists.
