Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Ddarlithydd mewn 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 yn flaenorol. 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), cymdeithaseg yr hunan, a pherthnasoedd personol. Daeth fy ymchwil cynnar i ben gyda chwblhau llyfr o'r enw The Self, Relational Sociology, and Morality in Practice, a gyhoeddwyd yn 2019. Enillodd y llyfr hwn Wobr Goffa Philip Abrams 2020 am y llyfr cyntaf a'r unig awdur gorau mewn cymdeithaseg.
Cyhoeddwyd fy ail fonograff, Social Theorists 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 ddealltwriaeth gymdeithasol o foesoldeb, sut maent wedi cael eu defnyddio mewn cymdeithaseg a disgyblaethau cyfagos, a beth allai fod cyfyngiadau eu dadleuon o safbwynt dealltwriaeth gymdeithasol gyfoes o foesoldeb. Dyfarnwyd fy erthygl, 'W. E. B. Du Bois's Forgotten Sociology of Morality', yn ail yng Nghystadleuaeth Gwobr Erthygl Gyhoeddedig Eithriadol 2023 yn adran Cymdeithas Gymdeithasol America ar Altruistiaeth, Moesoldeb, ac Undod Cymdeithasol.
Roedd fy mhrosiect cymrodoriaeth Leverhulme yn cynnwys astudiaeth empirig i faddeuant mewn perthnasoedd personol, maes ymchwil sydd hyd yn hyn wedi mynd i raddau helaeth heb ei gyffwrdd gan gymdeithasegwyr. Mae hyn yn parhau â'm diddordeb mewn nodweddion moesol a deinameg bywydau personol bob dydd. Cyrhaeddodd fy erthygl, 'A Sociology of Forgiveness in Relationships' restr fer Gwobr David Morgan am y papur gorau a gyhoeddwyd yn Families, Relationships, and Societies yn 2025.
Mae'r diddordeb hwn mewn deinameg foesol hefyd yn cael ei ymestyn trwy fy nghyfranogiad parhaus yng Nghanolfan Morgan ar gyfer Ymchwil i Fywydau Bob Dydd (Prifysgol Manceinion). Ynghyd â chydweithwyr Canolfan 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.
Rwy'n gyd-sylfaenydd y Social Studies of Ethics, Morality, and Values Network, rhwydwaith rhyngwladol a rhyngddisgyblaethol sydd wedi'i gynllunio i hyrwyddo astudiaethau yn y meysydd hyn: https://sites.google.com/york.ac.uk/ssemv/home?authuser=
