 *\n\nFor those hoping to pursue a career in the ‘Third Sector’\, espec
 ially amidst a broad range of organisations and agencies whose mandates ca
 n be loosely collected under the umbrella headings of ‘Human Rights and 
 Social Justice’\, ‘Conflict and Security’ or ‘Development and Huma
 nitarian Aid\,’ the terrain can be difficult to navigate. A sound academ
 ic training\, the kind provided by Cambridge University\, is important but
  certainly not enough to prepare students for the transition into working 
 in this sector. Through a mixture of substantive discussion\, personal ref
 lection and practical advice\, the CGHR Practitioner Series brings togethe
 r high‐level experts working in these fields and creates a forum in whic
 h students and researchers can listen and ask questions about what this wo
 rk actually involves\, seek out reflections from experience on the dilemma
 s and challenges faced\, and probe the skill set and experience needed to 
 forge a career in these fields.\n\nMore about the CGHR Practitioner series
