Media Experts List

The Providence College Media Experts list has been designed to help members of the media take full advantage of the wealth of expertise PC faculty and staff members offer.

This page is designed to allow you to find experts by keyword searches, by academic department or academic expertise. To use the keyword search function, simply type what you’re looking for into the search box. To use the departmental search, click on any of the links. This will display faculty profiles, which allow you to view areas of expertise, research interests, and recent scholarship.

To arrange for an interview, please contact the Office of Public Affairs, Community and Government Relations: Carolyn Cronin at 401.865.2413 or ccronin2@providence.edu.
