LSE Visiting Professor: Angelina Jolie speaks on her passion for humanitarian work

The American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and has been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress.

Recently, The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) announced that Angelina Jolie is to be a visiting professor in practice as part of the MSc it offers in Women, Peacekeeping and Security.

The reactions to this were mixed, as many wondered whether or not this was an appropriate appointment.

Apart from the fact that Jolie is a celebrity, she hasn't any of the academic credentials needed to be a university professor, although this isn’t strictly required for this kind of honorary appointment.

As far as publication goes, Jolie's personal journals are available to read on her UN Page.

She shared a quote with the above picture on Instagram on Thursday. 

“I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.” – Angelina Jolie
