安吉丽娜・朱莉被伦敦经济学院任命为客座教授

The Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has been appointed visiting professor at the London School of Economics (LSE), where she will teach a Masters in gender 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 goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency and is currently one of its special envoys, has been a vocal campaigner on refugee rights, and against the female genital mutilation and the use of rape 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 impunity 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".
