Topics such as public policy, human rights, international relations, economic development, civic engagement, and more, are all at the heart of becoming a political scientist or embracing one of several other careers of which the study of political science will aptly prepare oneself. At Chestnut Hill College, no one understands this more than Jeffrey Carroll, Ph.D., associate professor of political science and chair of the Center for Data & Society. A trained political scientist with degrees from Boston College and Temple University, Carroll began teaching at Chestnut Hill College in 2015. In that time, Carroll has prioritized local politics and the role of students as "change agents" in their own communities.
