After stepping down as leader of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern has revealed that she is swapping the rough and tumble of politics for a stint of quiet reflection within academia overseas, heading to Harvard University this fall under two fellowships.
She was appointed to dual fellowships at the Harvard Kennedy School, the university's school of public policy and government, according to a news release by Harvard.
"I am incredibly humbled to be joining Harvard University as a fellow -- not only will it give me the opportunity to share my experience with others, it will give me a chance to learn," Ardern said in the release."As leaders, there's often very little time for reflection, but reflection is critical if we are to properly support the next generation of leaders."
She added that Harvard had been an important partner in her work for Christchurch Call -- an initiative she helped launch in 2019 to counter terrorist and violent extremist content online, two months after the Christchurch terrorist attack that killed 51 people in two mosques. The attacker had livestreamed the incident and published a manifesto online beforehand.
Her time in power was defined by multiple crises, including the Christchurch attack, a deadly volcanic explosion, and a global pandemic.
