About Me

My name is Alexandra Carroll. I am an adjunct professor at St. Michael’s College in Vermont where I teach courses in The Examined Life and Peace and Justice. I previously taught peace studies and conflict resolution at George Washington University and worked as an academic advisor/coach at Catholic University. I am from the Greater Boston area and lived in Washington DC for about 10 years on and off before moving to Vermont in 2017.

I have a bachelor’s degree from Smith College, a couple of master’s degrees from Yale, and a Ph.D. in Theology and Religious Studies from Catholic University. In other words, I have been in school a very, very, very long time. With all that schooling, I picked up some practical knowledge of how to be a student and thrive. As an adjunct professor and academic coach, I have gathered more insights to share.
