Former British Army officer, now Dr. Graham Cable, is a Research Fellow in the Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) Research Centre based at the Veterans & Families Institute for Military Social Research, Anglia Ruskin University (in the UK).
His role is to provide advice and guidance to FiMT-funded researchers commissioned from among UK based research organizations (including other universities), and to author publicly accessible summaries and reviews of that research; all in support of FiMT’s wider objectives to enable ex-military personnel make a successful and sustainable transition to civilian life. He also acts as his university’s Armed Forces Community Inclusion Lead working alongside leadership, teaching, and support staff to ensure accessibility of courses and staff roles for serving regular and reserve military personnel, as well as veterans and family members.
His former military career was cut short by medical discharge, which heralded a difficult transition, prompting him to undertake his doctorate to explore the experience. Graham saw his thesis as a means to continue his own lifelong learning journey, and to encourage other military leavers and veterans to do the same. It was this enduring sense of educational duty that brought him to his current role, as well as to membership of an international community of like-minded scholars and professionals; which led to this podcast.
Graham publishes and peer reviews academic papers, supervises postgraduate (including doctoral) dissertations, and undertakes teaching and examining roles. He has also been appointed by the UK Government’s Minister for Defence People and Veterans as a member of his regional Veterans Advisory and Pensions Committee, which ensures veterans are supported in his local area. He has recently been invited to join the editorial team of an international veterans’ studies journal.
Between leaving the Army and taking up his current position, Graham acted as a consultant in various NATO headquarters, as well as in teaching and undertaking professional roles in other universities. He is a member of the UK’s Chartered Institute of Linguists (fluent in Spanish) and Chartered Management Institute.
Just as he is determined to succeed in his own military-to-civilian transition, he strives to ensure others can do the same and sees education as fundamental to this. He discusses that in this podcast.
