Athro Hanes Ffrainc
Trosolwyg
Mae fy ngwaith yn troi o gwmpas hanes cymdeithasol a diwylliannol Ffrainc yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd a'r cof o'r cyfnod hwn. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn rhywedd ac mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn ailadeiladu profiadau bob dydd pobl o'r digwyddiadau trawmatig hyn.
Yn dilyn Cymrodoriaeth Leverhulme 2 flynedd (2021-2023) ac erthygl ragarweiniol sy'n adrodd rhai penodau o weithgareddau Josephine Baker yn ystod y rhyfel, rwyf newydd gyhoeddi fy llyfr Josephine Baker's Secret War gyda Yale University Press, 2025.
Rwyf wedi gweithio mewn rôl gynghorol gyda'r Musée de la Libération de Paris - musée Leclerc - musée Jean Moulin ac wedi cyd-guradu gyda chyfarwyddwr yr amgueddfa, eu harddangosfa yn 2020 1940: Les Parisiens dans l'exode/ 1940: Parisians in the exodus Gallwch ddarllen nodwedd amdano yn The Guardian a'n ffilm fer o'r arddangosfa yma.
Rwy'n defnyddio amrywiaeth o ffynonellau ar gyfer fy ymchwil gan gynnwys tystiolaeth lafar ac ysgrifenedig ac mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn sut y gall y ffynonellau hyn gyfrannu at gyfleu'r gorffennol mewn arddangosfeydd amgueddfeydd. Mewn perthynas â thystiolaeth ddigidol, rwyf wedi datblygu gwefan ryngweithiol (http://www.fleeinghitler.org/) i alluogi pobl i bostio straeon teuluol o'u profiadau o Ewrop wedi'i feddiannu yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd.
Rwy'n gweithio gyda nifer o bartneriaid anacademaidd yn y DU a thramor gan gynnwys gweithwyr proffesiynol yn y diwydiannau creadigol (cyfarwyddwyr radio, teledu, ffilm a theatr, cynhyrchwyr, ysgrifenwyr sgriptiau) ac yn y sector curadurol yn y DU a Ffrainc. Yn benodol, rwyf wedi gweithio yn ddiweddar gyda Wall to Wall Productions, y BBC, Like A Shot Entertainment, yr SNCF (Rheilffyrdd Ffrainc) a nifer o amgueddfeydd ac archifau Ffrainc.
