Ymchwil
I am a researcher with long standing research interests in knowledge, ethics, citizenship, ageing, medical sociology, and citical theory. I began my research career in social policy, and have gained a great deal of experience through work in health policy, management research, human geography, the sociology of ageing, and in the sociology of medicine.
My current work is on how patients make decisions about genetic and prenatal tests, when the outcome of the test will be of more use to the patient than for clinical management of the condition. This involves research in genetics, pre-natal care focusing on the use of knowledge and on ethics in patient decision making.
My continuing interest in knowledge, ethics and decision making takes me in various new directions. The context changes, but the issues remain, hence my continuing interest in critical theory as a forum for exploring the meaning and implications of empirical insights.
Much of my work involves the use of novel research methods to explore research issues. Hence in recent years, I have been using a combination of clinical ethnographies and of personal diaries as a way of documenting experience.
Bywgraffiad
Dechreuais fy ngyrfa ymchwil gyda ffocws mewn theori a'r empirig. Cwblheais fy MA mewn Cymdeithaseg yn Cork, gan ganolbwyntio ar foeseg disgwrs Habermas ac yna dechreuais fy rôl gyntaf fel cynorthwyydd ymchwil yn Luton gan gynnal astudiaeth fach o dai a digartrefedd. Mae fy ngyrfa wedi dod â mi i weithio mewn ystod eang o adrannau, ond rwyf bob amser wedi cynnal fy ymrwymiadau i ymgysylltu â data empirig gan gofio rôl a mewnwelediadau athroniaeth a theori gymdeithasol.
Rwyf wedi cael y fraint o weithio ar ystod eang o brosiectau ymchwil mawr ac ysgogol. Mae hyn yn cynnwys prosiect fel rhan o raglen Cultures of Consumption ESRC, y Tir Llwyd a Dymunol? prosiect Ailgysylltu yn y prif ffrydio geneteg prosiect a gweithredu fel cydymaith ymchwil ar brosiect Cronfa Her Prifddinas-Ranbarth Caerdydd. Roeddwn i'n gyd-ymchwilydd ar brosiect ESRC o'r enw Fframio taflwybrau gwneud penderfyniadau mewn Profion Genetig a Genomig Rhagfynegol a Cyn-geni.
Mae fy ngwaith presennol yn canolbwyntio ar y Rhwystrau a'r Hwyluswyr i Brif ffrydio Genomeg yn y GIG.
