Angelina Jolie Pitt is many things: Special Envoy to the United Nations, an Academy-Award winning actress, all-around humanitarian do-gooder, writer, director, wife and mother. And now, the jill of all trades is dabbling in another profession: teaching. 

Jolie will be a visiting professor at the prestigious London School of Economics, the school announced on its website Monday.

She will be teaching a course in the school's Centre on Women, Peace and Security in a newly-designed master's program intended to "promote gender equality and enhance women’s economic, social and political participation."

Sounds right up her alley.

The courses in the program, "Women, Peace and Security," "Gender and Militarization" and "Gender and Human Rights," are scheduled for fall 2016. Jolie joins Jane Connors, William Hague and Madeleine Rees who will also be special lecturers in the program.

"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," Jolie said.
