Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Ddarlithydd yn y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd. Ymunais â Phrifysgol Caerdydd ar gymrodoriaeth Leverhulme ym mis Ionawr 2022, ar ôl bod yn ddarlithydd ym Mhrifysgol Efrog a Phrifysgol Manceinion. Cyn hynny, cwblheais fy PhD mewn Cymdeithaseg ym Mhrifysgol Caerwysg ym mis Medi 2017. Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar gymdeithaseg moesoldeb (gyda phwyslais arbennig ar ymarfer bob dydd), cymdeithasegau'r hunan, a chymdeithaseg berthynol. Mae fy ymchwil wedi arwain at gwblhau llyfr o'r enw The Self, Relational Sociology, and Morality in Practice, a gyhoeddwyd yn 2019. Enillodd y llyfr hwn Wobr Goffa BSA Philip Abrams 2020 am y llyfr cyntaf a'r unig awdur gorau mewn cymdeithaseg.
Roedd fy mhrosiect cymrodoriaeth Leverhulme yn cynnwys astudiaeth empirig i faddeuant mewn perthnasoedd personol, maes ymchwil sydd hyd yma heb ei gyffwrdd i raddau helaeth gan gymdeithasegwyr. Mae hyn yn parhau â'm diddordeb yn nodweddion moesol a deinameg bywydau personol bob dydd.
Mae'r diddordeb hwn hefyd yn cael ei ymestyn trwy fy nghyfranogiad parhaus yng Nghanolfan Ymchwil Morgan i Fywydau Bob Dydd (Prifysgol Manceinion). Ynghyd â chydweithwyr yng Nghanolfan Morgan, cyd-awdur llyfr o'r enw Masking in the Pandemic: Materiality, Interaction and Moral Practice, sy'n archwilio fflwcs sydyn gorchuddion wyneb yn ein bywydau a'n rhyngweithiadau o fis Mawrth 2020.
Cyhoeddwyd fy ail fonograff, Social Theorysts of Morality: Essay in Moral Agency, yn 2025. Mae'r llyfr hwn yn darparu casgliad o draethodau beirniadol ar ddamcaniaethwyr cymdeithasol allweddol y mae eu gwaith wedi llywio dulliau cymdeithasegol o foesoldeb, gyda phob traethawd yn nodi beth yw cyfraniad y damcaniaethwr at ddealltwriaethau cymdeithasegol o foesoldeb, sut y cawsant eu defnyddio mewn cymdeithaseg a disgyblaethau cyfagos, a beth allai cyfyngiadau eu dadleuon fod o safbwynt dealltwriaeth gymdeithasegol gyfoes o foesoldeb.
