 se hoping to pursue a career in the ‘Third Sector’\, especially amidst
  a broad range of organisations and agencies whose mandates can be loosely
  collected under the umbrella headings of ‘Human Rights and Social Justi
 ce’\, ‘Conflict and 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 n
 ot enough to prepare students for the transition into working in this sect
 or. Through a mixture of substantive discussion\, personal reflection and 
 practical advice\, the CGHR Practitioner Series brings together high‐lev
 el experts working in these fields and creates a forum in which students a
 nd researchers can listen and ask questions about what this work actually 
 involves\, seek out reflections from experience on the dilemmas and challe
 nges faced\, and probe the skill set and experience needed to forge a care
 er in these fields.
