*Rolling application

The goal of this course is to familiarize the students with historical, political, social and cultural context which prevented and then allowed women to pursue a career in foreign service and diplomacy.

The title of this course was inspired by the program Women in Foreign Service which was established and chaired by Madelaine Albright at Georgetown University before she assumed her diplomatic career.

The objective is based on examination of the work and life of leading world women diplomats in the past and in present, against the backdrop of the above mentioned context. We will look at selected governmental organizations and NGOs engaging internationally in which the women are participating.

“Going to Prague was one of the best experiences of my life. It was an amazing way to immerse myself in a different culture and truly see how big the world is. Every aspect of the city is mesmerizing, from the delicious food to the beautiful buildings. There was never a dull moment while I was there!”
