Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Ddarllenydd yn y Cyfryngau a Hanes Ffotograffig yn yr Ysgol Newyddiaduraeth, y Cyfryngau a Diwylliant (Prifysgol Caerdydd) ac yn gyd-olygydd y Journal of War and Culture Studies.
Mae fy ymchwil yn ymwneud â hanes y cyfryngau a diwylliant gweledol yn Ewrop gyfoes a'r Unol Daleithiau gydag arbenigeddau mewn ffotonewyddiaduraeth a gwrthdaro, diwylliant gweledol ac ailadeiladu, cof cyfunol mewn cymdeithasau ôl-gwrthdaro, a hanes trefol.
Cyd-ysgrifennwyd fy ail lyfr, Conflicting Images: Histories of War Photography in the News, gyda Stuart Allan.
Roedd fy monograff cyntaf yn mynd i'r afael ag ail-greu a ffotograffiaeth ar ôl y rhyfel o'r amgylchedd adeiledig ym Mhrydain, Ffrainc a Gorllewin yr Almaen (c.1944-1961). Mae Ffotograffiaeth, Ailadeiladu a Hanes Diwylliannol y Ddinas Ewropeaidd wedi'r Rhyfel wedi cael ei hadolygu yn Hanes yr Almaen, Hanes Trefol a Hanes Prydeinig Cyfoes.
Mae gen i gyfrol sydd ar y gweill ar gyfer Bloomsbury o'r enw Picturing Peace: Photography, Conflict Transformation, a Peacebuilding. Rwyf hefyd wedi golygu materion arbennig ar 'Visual Histories of Postwar Reconstruction' (2022) a 'The Business of War Photography' (2016).
Cyn ymuno â Phrifysgol Caerdydd, roeddwn yn Ddarlithydd mewn Hanes Modern ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe ac yn dal cymrodoriaethau ym mhrifysgolion Caeredin a Nottingham. Cyn ymchwil ôl-raddedig, bûm yn gweithio yn yr Alban am tua 10 mlynedd yng Nghronfa Dreftadaeth y Loteri (ariannwr mawr yn y DU o amgueddfeydd, orielau a chysylltiadau treftadaeth).
Rwy'n croesawu cynigion PhD yn y meysydd canlynol:
- Gwrthdaro a ffotonewyddiaduraeth
- Ffotograffiaeth ddyngarol
- Cymdeithasau ffotograffiaeth, cof ac ôl-wrthdaro
- Hanesion y ffoto-gylchgrawn
- Hanes ffotograffiaeth a gofod trefol
- Hanes ffotograffiaeth, democratiaeth a gweithredaeth
