Dr Caroline Micklewright

I am an Honorary Research Fellow at Exeter University and a Lecturer at Cranfield University. Prior to entering academia, I was a logistics officer in the Royal Air Force specialising in Air Transport and Information Systems. My PhD explored power, identity, and gender within the masculine military institution and its effects duringtrnsition our of the Armed Forces.

I am currently working on the Military Afterlives Project at Exeter University which aims to understand how British veterans and their families have experienced the transition out of the military and back into civilian life.

My current focus centres on publishing my PhD research, improving the outcomes of veterans, and championing the main streaming of gendered thought in organisational policy and decision making.
