In the wake of her divorce filing last week, news has surfaced that Angelina Jolie is set to join the the faculty of the London School of Economics next year as a visiting professor.
A spokesperson for the school confirmed that she will be on board in September 2017 for a “new master’s program focused on women, peace, and security,” which will begin accepting applications this fall. As visiting faculty, Jolie might not run graduate seminars, but she will deliver lectures, facilitate workshops, and attend the program’s public events. She will also conduct her own research.
Jolie and Britain’s former foreign secretary William Hague launched the school’s Centre for Women, Peace and Security in February 2015.
The LSE announced in May that the mom of six would be one of four visiting professors appointed to the program, adding in a statement that the curicculum will be “dedicated to developing strategies to promote gender equality and enhance women’s economic, social and political participation and security”.
