Brief Biography:
Dr. Carmine Perrotti (he, him, his) is an Assistant Professor of Public and Community Service Studies at Providence College, his alma mater. Dr. Perrotti’s scholarly interests focus on a range of critical topics related to the philosophy, pedagogy, and practice of community-engaged teaching, learning, and research in U.S. higher education.

He holds a Ph.D. in higher education from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and a Master in Public Policy from American University.
