Professor Ruchi Anand Teaches an International Relations Summer Course at Princeton |
Tuesday, 19 June 2018 |
In July and August, Prof. Ruchi Anand will participate in the Junior Statesmen of America summer program at Princeton University, teaching an intensive summer course on International Relations. Dr Anand has taught in the JSA programs since 2001, at Princeton as well as at Georgetown and Stanford. The JSA programs, which have been in existence for over 80 years, are aimed at outstanding high school students who have a strong interest in government and politics and demonstrate a capability to undertake a program tailored around the lines of an undergraduate seminar. Some of the most notable JSA alumni include former US Secretary of Defense and former Director of the CIA Leon Panetta, former Press Secretary Mike McCurry, and former Attorney General Edwin Meese, among many others. “Teaching to these young motivated all-rounded students with a passion for international relations in an Ivy League setting is a perfect complement to teaching to slightly older but equally passionate AGS students during the rest of the year. I hope to welcome some of these JSA students at AGS in a few years for their graduate studies – or maybe even before then, for a short study abroad experience in Paris – one of the capitals of world politics!” More information on the program on the www.jsa.org website |

Ryan MillsUnited States 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.. |
