What is your academic background and how did you get to your current position? Did you know you want to be a diplomat while at college or was it something that just eventually happened?

Hi Professor Armitage, thanks for doing this AMA. I'm a Political Science post-graduate student at University College, London and have a few questions for you!

What made you want to pursue a career in academia? Did you ever consider another path?

How have your experiences in the US at Harvard/Princeton/Columbia compared to your time in the UK at Cambridge/Oxford/Edinburgh etc.? Has there been a notable difference in the way the faculties run or in the students?

What advice would you give to someone considering pursuing a PolSci/IR PhD at Cambridge or Harvard?
