Darllenydd
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Ddarllenydd mewn Addysg yn yr Ysgol Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol. Astudiais yn gyntaf yn yr Ysgol Meistr, TAR a chymwysterau PhD. Roedd fy astudiaeth ddoethurol yn astudiaeth ryngddisgyblaethol o ddiwylliant, creadigrwydd ac addysg mewn adfywio diwylliannol trefol. Fy niddordeb damcaniaethol mewn creadigrwydd mewn amrywiol feysydd polisi yw ffocws fy monograff 2025. Er fy mod yn cadw diddordeb mewn polisi diwylliannol a chreadigrwydd, mae'r prif faes ymchwil ac addysgu yn ymwneud â pholisi addysg ac addysgol. Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar amrywiaeth o brosiectau addysgol sy'n ymwneud â: creadigrwydd; dysgu yn yr awyr agored ac Ysgol Goedwig; llwybrau i addysgu; addysg athrawon; arweinyddiaeth broffesiynol; hawliau plant; Chwarae plant. Rwyf wedi bod yn gynrychiolydd Cymreig ar gyngor Cymdeithas Ymchwil Addysg Prydain ac wedi bod yn olygydd y British Educational Research Journal.

Ymchwil
Mae gen i amrywiaeth eang o ddiddordebau ymchwil ym maes diwylliant, creadigrwydd ac addysg. Roedd fy astudiaeth ddoethurol yn ymwneud â rôl diwylliant, creadigrwydd a dysgu mewn prosiectau adfywio trefol dan arweiniad diwylliant. Er fy mod yn cadw diddordeb mewn polisi diwylliannol mae fy niddordebau ymchwil diweddar yn ymwneud ag addysg. Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi mewn meysydd fel: cymhellion ar gyfer addysg oedolion; adfywio dan arweiniad diwylliant; addysg awyr agored a chanfyddiad risg; hawliau plant; Chwarae plant; Addysg ysgol goedwig; recriwtio athrawon; proffesiynoldeb athrawon; arweinyddiaeth yr ysgol.
Addysgu
I teach on various education related programmes at undergraduate, masters and doctoral level. The two undergraduate modules I am most closely involved in are first year introductory module Education and Society and the second year module Policy and Practice in Contemporary Education. As Masters' level I have worked as programme coordinator for the Masters in Educational Practice and oversee the assessment for this programme. At doctoral level I am module convenor for the Changing Modes of Professionalism module which is the introductory module in our professional doctorate programme.Bywgraffiad
