Sarah Pedersen, AGS's Academic Coordinator, says: "The new cohort of students is very multicultural and seems very dynamic and engaged in international relations - much in the AGS spirit!" See photos of the orientation session: |
For the start of the new semester on Thursday, February 9th, AGS welcomed new students from Russia, Hungary, Spain and the US. They joined the International Relations and Diplomacy Master's and Ph.D. programs. The new semester also marked the arrival of two new Assistant Professors on the AGS faculty: Dr. Tatiana Coutto, from Brazil, will be teaching the course "The European Union and the World", and Dr. Firouz Vakil, from the US, will be teaching "Current economic Problems and Policies".

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
