Celfyddydau, Dyniaethau a Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n ymchwilio i naratifau ac atgofion am yr Ail Ryfel Byd, yn bennaf yn Ffrainc. Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn sut mae ffurfiau gweledol o gynrychiolaeth, fel ffotograffiaeth a chomics, yn llunio'r ffyrdd y mae awduron, ffotograffwyr ac artistiaid o Ffrainc yn trosglwyddo straeon rhyfel. Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi tri monograff a phedwar casgliad golygedig o draethodau ar ddiwylliannau cof Ffrengig yr Ail Ryfel Byd.
Ochr yn ochr â'm hymchwil ar yr Ail Ryfel Byd, rwy'n arwain prosiectau sy'n cefnogi dysgu iaith mewn addysg orfodol yn y DU. Rwy'n gweithio gydag ysgolion uwchradd, ymarferwyr athrawon, llunwyr polisïau a sefydliadau'r trydydd sector i gynyddu'r nifer sy'n manteisio ar ieithoedd mewn ysgolion yn y DU drwy fentora. Mae hyn wedi arwain at fenter deillio i ddatblygu deunydd hyfforddi a gwasanaethau ar gyfer ieithoedd. Mae fy rolau eiriolaeth wedi arwain at weithio mewn partneriaeth gyda Llywodraethau Cymru a'r DU, yr Academi Brydeinig, British Council Cymru, Cyngor y Brifysgol dros Ieithoedd a sefydliadau partner a phrifysgolion yn Sbaen a Seland Newydd.

Ymchwil
Diwylliannau Rhyfel Gweledol
Mae gen i ddiddordeb yn y ffyrdd mae ffurfiau poblogaidd o gynrychiolaeth yn siapio sut mae gwylwyr a darllenwyr cyfoes yn deall cymynroddion yr Ail Ryfel Byd. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n gweithio ar brosiectau sy'n canolbwyntio ar gynrychioliadau gweledol o ryfel mewn diwylliannau angloffon a francophone. Mae'r gwaith hwn yn archwilio trosglwyddo cof rhyfel rhwng cenedlaethau mewn comics, nofelau graffig a llyfrau lluniau'r 21ain ganrif. Mae'n gofyn sut mae naratifau testun-ddelwedd yn caniatáu archifo creadigol gorffennol adeg y rhyfel sydd bellach yn symud y tu hwnt i deyrnas cof byw wrth i'r tystion olaf sydd wedi goroesi farw.
Dysgu ac Eiriolaeth Iaith
Fi yw Arweinydd Academaidd y prosiect Mentora ITM, prosiect Cymru gyfan sy'n defnyddio mentora i ennyn brwdfrydedd myfyrwyr ysgolion uwchradd i astudio ieithoedd modern/rhyngwladol ac, o ganlyniad, i gynyddu'r nifer sy'n manteisio ar ieithoedd mewn addysg orfodol. Mae'r rhaglen yn hyfforddi myfyrwyr prifysgol i fod yn hyrwyddwyr amlieithog i fyfyrwyr ysgol sydd wedi ymddieithrio rhag dysgu ieithoedd. Ariennir y prosiect hwn gan Lywodraeth Cymru ac fe'i cyflwynir mewn partneriaeth â Phrifysgolion Aberystwyth, Bangor, Metropolitan Caerdydd, Prifysgol De Cymru, Prifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant, Glyndwr Wrecsam, Abertawe, Coleg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama Cymru mewn cydweithrediad â chonsortia addysgol Cymru. Mae'r prosiect hwn yn hyrwyddo manteision cyfathrebu rhyngddiwylliannol ac yn cefnogi dyheadau tuag at astudio yn y brifysgol ar gyfer grwpiau mwy difreintiedig: https://mflmentoring.co.uk/
Rwy'n arwain ymchwil o'r prosiect hwn sy'n archwilio pam mae myfyrwyr ysgolion uwchradd yng Nghymru yn dewis peidio ag astudio ieithoedd yn yr ysgol a'r effaith y mae hyn yn ei chael ar dirwedd ieithoedd a dyluniad y cwricwlwm yng Nghymru. Mae'r ymchwil hon yn tynnu ar ddata ar raddfa fawr a gynhyrchir gan y prosiect Mentora ITM, rhaglen sy'n gweithio gyda dros 120 o ysgolion uwchradd yng Nghymru bob blwyddyn.
Cyrhaeddodd y prosiect restr fer Gwobrau Addysg Uwch y Times yn 2021 yng nghategori prosiect Ehangu Cyfranogiad neu Allgymorth Ysgolion y flwyddyn.
Mae fy ngwaith ar ieithoedd a mentora wedi cynhyrchu

Rwy'n siarad ac yn cyflwyno yn rheolaidd mewn digwyddiadau briffio a pholisi sy'n ymroddedig i ieithoedd addysgu/dysgu yng Nghymru, y DU ac yn fyd-eang.
Mae fy ngwaith ar ddysgu iaith, mentora ac addysg wedi sicrhau cyllid ar raddfa fawr gan Lywodraeth Cymru, yr Adran Addysg yn Lloegr, UKRI (ESRC ac AHRC) a Chyngor Prydeinig Cymru. Mae wedi creu cydweithrediadau rhyngwladol â rhanbarth Castille de Leon yn Sbaen ac, yn fwyaf diweddar, Prifysgol Waikato, Seland Newydd.
