The Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has been appointed visiting professor at the London School of Economics (LSE), where she will teach a Masters in gender1 and human rights.
好莱坞明星安吉丽娜·朱莉近日被伦敦经济学院任命为客座教授,教授性别与人权硕士课程。
The Oscar-winning actress will join former foreign secretary William Hague as a lecturer at the university's Centre for Women, Peace and Security where she will help to teach students studying for a Master's degree.
Jolie Pitt, who has been a
goodwill2 ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency and is currently one of its special
envoys3, has been a
vocal4 campaigner on refugee rights, and against the female genital mutilation and the use of
rape5 as a weapon of war.
She said: "I am very encouraged by the creation of this master's programme. I hope other academic institutions will follow this example, as it is vital that we broaden the discussion on how to advance women's rights and end
impunity6 for crimes that disproportionately affect women, such as sexual violence in conflict.
"I am looking forward to teaching and to learning from the students as well as to sharing my own experiences of working alongside governments and the United Nations".
