 ampaign=social\n\nABSTRACT: CGHR runs a Practitioner Series each year in L
 ent term\, Jan to March\, which often features rights activists\, aid prac
 titioners and journalists etc. \n\nOur speakers relate stories about their
  own experience — how they came to work in the field that they are in 
 — with details about what the work itself involves. The session thus off
 ers a combination of substantive discussion of the speaker’s work and cr
 itical views on the challenges of working in their area\, as well as perso
 nal and practical insights into how they ended up doing what they do and h
 ow they would advise others thinking about practice/policy as a possible f
 uture after studies/research.\n\nCGHR's Practitioner Series provides stude
 nts (both undergrads and postgrads) and researchers with the chance to ask
  questions of people that they might not normally have access to.\n\nIn th
 is session\, we speak to Clea Kahn. With more than 20 years' experience in
  the humanitarian sector\, Clea now works on a diverse array of projects a
