The Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs (also known as the Albright Institute) is an international studies institute based at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. The Albright Institute was established by former United States Secretary of State and Wellesley College alumna Madeleine Albright in 2009 to support the interdisciplinary study of global issues within a liberal arts framework.[1]
The Albright Institute organizes a variety of educational programs and public events, including fellowship and internship programs for undergraduate students as well as public events and lectures relating to current events and global issues.[1][2][3] Approximately forty upperclassmen undergraduate students from Wellesley College are selected annually as Albright Fellows.[1] Notable speakers and visiting professors at the Albright Institute have included Madeleine Albright, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Christine Lagarde, Mark Malloch-Brown, Wendy Sherman, Samantha Power, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, and James Wolfensohn.[2][4][5][6]
The Albright Institute is notable for its emphasis on women's leadership and its nontraditional approach to international studies, which incorporates research and perspectives on global affairs from disciplines including literature, the fine arts, religion, philosophy, and science.[1][2]
