The 41-year-old actress and human rights campaigner - who is a visiting
professor at the London School of Economics - had been reported to be
holding similar classes at the Washington establishment, but it has now
been confirmed that she is not planning to be there.
A representative for the university said: "Georgetown's Institute for
Women, Peace and Security is recognised around the world for its work to
advance and promote the role of women in peace and security. We enjoy a
partnership with the London School of Economics as part of that work,
where Angelina Jolie and William Hague are scheduled to teach a class in
the fall.
"There are no current plans for Ms. Jolie to teach at Georgetown."
However, the establishment have offered an "open invitation" to Angelina
and Britain's former foreign secretary, William Hague, to visit the
students to "share their experiences and perspectives" whenever they
want to.
The statement concluded: "Angelina Jolie and William Hague have an open
invitation to share their experiences and perspectives at Georgetown
anytime they're able."
At LSE, Angelina will give a series of lectures to students of the new
one-year MSc course on women, peace and security, which will run from
the beginning of the 2017 academic year.
Angelina - who helped to launch the course last year with Mr. Hague -
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."
According to LSE, the course is intended to "develop strategies to
promote gender equality and enhance women's economic, social and
political participation and security".
Visiting professors, including Angelina and Mr. Hague, will give
lectures, participate in workshops and undertake their own research.
An LSE spokeswoman said they will teach "as often as their schedules,
and their commitment as agreed with the director, will allow".
