'I'm feeling butterflies': 'Nervous' Angelina Jolie turns professor.

'I'm feeling butterflies': 'Nervous' Angelina Jolie turns professor at London School of Economics as
she addresses students on Women, Peace and Security

    Filmmaker, 41, accepted the role of 'professor in practise' for a course on Women, Peace and Security, last May
    Post-graduate course helps develop strategies to promote justice, human rights and participation for women in global conflict-affected situations
    Human rights activist and mother-of-six Angelina addressed students for the first time on Tuesday in London
    She spoke of her experiences and answered questions on her work as United Nations Special Envoy
    The lecture coincides with the fifth anniversary of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative, which Jolie co-founded
Angelina Jolie stepped into a new role on Tuesday morning, as professor in practice of London School of Economics.

The filmmaker and human rights advocate, 41, said she was 'feeling butterflies' before she lectured at the Centre for Women, Peace and Security, beginning a new master's course on the impact of war on women.

Despite her nerves, she embodied her new, visiting professor mantle perfectly, paring down her iconic Hollywood image in favour of a simple yet sophisticated longline coat.
