History of the Providence College Political Science Department – 1970 - today
Listeners will find this a different kind of Beyond Your News Feed episode. Rather than analyze political events in the news as we usually do, this episode takes a deep dive into the history of the Providence College Political Science Department. Joining Professor Hudson for this discussion are two retired members of the department: Professors Emeriti Mark Hyde and Robert Trudeau. Our conversation traces the nearly fifty years we worked together, among a devoted group of colleagues, to teach our students about politics. Current PC students, our many alums, parents, and our colleagues should be interested in learning how teaching and studying political science evolved over the past several decades. We had a good time making this podcast and hope listeners will enjoy it too.
