“As it stands today, diplomatic theory and practice is for the most part the story of the European man: his triumphs, technologies of the self and methods for mediating otherness, hence the need to come up with an idea of diplomacy predicated on different subjectivities and set of ethico-politico considerations.”
- Sam Okoth Opondo, “Decolonizing Diplomacy: Reflections on African Estrangement and Exclusion,” Sustainable Diplomacies, 2010

Environmental Diplomacy
“Environmental diplomats should engage in an ethical and philosophical debate when it comes to taking moral actions. Being a 'technocratic' or expert diplomat is not enough vis-à-vis this intergenerational field that requires a sense of moral awareness and responsibility. This moral consciousness must be embedded with the diplomats’ understanding of how their actions can influence future generations as well as predecessors.”
- Leila Nicolas and Elie Kallab, Effective Forms of Environmental Diplomacy, 2021
The Grace School’s concentration in Environmental Diplomacy is the first university program in the world designed to train future practitioners of diplomacy in this vital field and reflects the fact that the new language of diplomacy is emerging from three terms which are common to all cultures and geographic locations: “clean air,” “clean water” and “arable land.” The Environmental Diplomacy concentration provides a foundation for those who are interested in pursuing multiple career trajectories, including work in international and domestic NGO’s, the foreign service, science diplomacy, community organizing, municipal government and activism.
Students in the Environmental Diplomacy concentration are required to take six courses from the following list:

Language and Diplomacy
The Language and Diplomacy MA Concentration
The structure of the MA Language and Diplomacy concentration is as follows. Students will be able to select 4 courses from 1) target language courses, and 2) courses in translation and interpretation.
At least two of the concentration courses must be in a target language.
Embedded in this concentration is the following possibility:
- If students choose three of their courses in Translation and Interpreting, they’ll have earned the Graduate Certificate in Translation and Interpreting after taking the two-credit hour “TIS” practicum (TIS 479).
Students fulfilling the requirements of this concentration have the possibility of choosing to take courses in more than one language, but it is more likely that they will focus on one language. Students selecting this concentration for their MA in Applied Diplomacy are expected to work closely with an advisor, in order to insure that their course selections both fulfill the requirements of the concentration and are best tailored to fit with their vocational trajectory.

- Paul Sharp, Diplomatic Theory of International Relations, 2009
