Beyond Your News Feed: Understanding Contemporary Politics

This year Providence College is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the first class of women students at the college. Since 1971 when the college became coed, the Political Science department has had many terrific women students and our women graduates have gone on to distinguished careers in a wide variety of professions. Some have even pleased their political science professors immensely by going on to become political scientists themselves. This episode, in recognition of PC’s Year of the Women, is a conversation with two of our relatively recent graduates who have garnered PH.D. s in Political Science and are now political science teachers and researchers. We discuss their paths from the Political Science Department at PC to become professional political scientists. Our guests are: Professor Laura Bucci, PC class of 2010 and Professor Kelly Branham Smith, PC class of 2012.
