 eth’s main job is as a producer on the daily Newshour programme\, but sh

 \n\n*About the CGHR Practitioner Series:*\n\nFor those hoping to pursue a 
 career in the ‘Third Sector’\, especially amidst a broad range of orga
 nisations and agencies whose mandates can be loosely collected under the u
 mbrella headings of ‘Human Rights and Social Justice’\, ‘Conflict an
 d Security’ or ‘Development and Humanitarian Aid\,’ the terrain can 
 be difficult to navigate. A sound academic training\, the kind provided by
  Cambridge University\, is important but certainly not enough to prepare s
 tudents for the transition into working in this sector. Through a mixture 
 of substantive discussion\, personal reflection and practical advice\, the
  CGHR Practitioner Series brings together high‐level experts working in 
 these fields and creates a forum in which students and researchers can lis
 ten and ask questions about what this work actually involves\, seek out re
 flections from experience on the dilemmas and challenges faced\, and probe
  the skill set and experience needed to forge a career in these fields.
