DESCRIPTION:Interested in learning more about the inner workings of the UN
 ? Come and listen to a panel of former UN staff members share their experi
 ences. There will also be an opportunity to have a chat and a glass of  w
 ine afterwards.\n\nPanelists\n\nStephanie La Hoz Theuer - A climate policy
  expert with over 10 years of experience in the regulation and implementat
 ion of market instruments for climate change. After five years in the priv
 ate sector and another five at the United Nations Climate Change Secretari
 at\, her current focus is policy research on economic and financial instru
 ments for climate change mitigation and adaptation. She holds a Production
  Engineering degree from the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil)\, and is cur
 rently part of the MPhil programme in Environmental Policy at Cambridge Un
 iversity.\n\nVictoria Stewart-Jolley - PhD candidate\, POLIS - former UNV\
 , UNDP\, Indonesia (planning officer)\, special assistant to the SRSG\, DP
 A\, Iraq\, and UNDP Elect consultant\, Albania\, Solomon Islands and 2014 
 Afghan recount.\n\nChair\n\nDr Devon Curtis\, University Lecturer\, POLIS.
  Formerly employed at UN Staff College.\n\nFor those hoping to pursue a ca
 reer in the ‘Third Sector’\, especially amidst a broad range of organi
 sations and agencies whose mandates can be loosely collected under the umb
 rella headings of ‘Human Rights and Social Justice’\, ‘Conflict and 
 Security’ or ‘Development and Humanitarian Aid\,’ the terrain can be
  difficult to navigate. A sound academic training\, the kind provided by C
 ambridge University\, is important but certainly not enough to prepare stu
 dents for the transition into working in this sector. Through a mixture of
  substantive discussion\, personal reflection and practical advice\, the C
 GHR Practitioner Series brings together high‐level experts working in th
 ese fields and creates a forum in which students and researchers can liste
 n and ask questions about what this work actually involves\, seek out refl
 ections from experience on the dilemmas and challenges faced\, and probe t
 he skill set and experience needed to forge a career in these fields.\n\nM
