Trosolwyg
Rwy'n academydd polisi cymdeithasol, ac mae fy arbenigedd yn dod o fewn maes plant, pobl ifanc, gofal cymdeithasol ac atal trais a niwed rhywiol. Mae fy niddordebau yn ymwneud ag agweddau sy'n gysylltiedig â dadansoddi polisi cymdeithasol, gofal, lles, plentyndod ac ieuenctid, ac mae fy ymagwedd fethodolegol at ymchwil yn ddadansoddol ansoddol, cyfranogol, ethnograffig a disgwrs .
Fy maes arbenigol yw camfanteisio'n rhywiol ar blant - pwnc sy'n adlewyrchu natur ryngddisgyblaethol fy ngwaith ac yr wyf wedi bod yn ymchwilio amdano ers dros 15 mlynedd. Mae fy arbenigedd yn deillio o fy ngwaith doethurol, a oedd yn archwilio camfanteisio rhywiol o safbwyntiau pobl ifanc a gweithwyr proffesiynol amlasiantaeth sy'n gweithio gyda nhw, ochr yn ochr â dadansoddiad o bolisi. Ers hynny, rwyf wedi bod yn cymryd rhan mewn prosiectau ymchwil ar y cyd i wella dealltwriaeth o gamfanteisio rhywiol a'r ffordd orau o ymateb, gan gynnwys pobl ifanc a'r gofalwyr a gweithwyr proffesiynol sy'n eu cefnogi. Mae fy ymagwedd at ymchwil yn un sy'n ceisio bod o fudd i blant a phobl ifanc drwy lywio polisi ac ymarfer proffesiynol.
Fy nod deallusol yw archwilio a deall y berthynas rhwng polisi ac ymarfer – rhwng disgwrs (disgwrs gyhoeddus), ideoleg, diwylliant a phrofiad byw, yng nghyd-destun arferion gofal a lles, o ran y rhai sy'n meddiannu categorïau rhyng-stitïol a mannau ymylol. Rwyf wedi ymrwymo i ymchwil wybodus, wedi'i yrru'n empirig yn ddamcaniaethol sy'n rhyngddisgyblaethol, sy'n arloesol yn fethodolegol wrth eistedd yn gadarn o fewn traddodiadau sefydledig.
Fy nod yw arwain mewn ymchwil sy'n creu trafodaeth gyhoeddus, yn archwilio gwerthoedd cymdeithasol, ei chategorïau a'i ragdybiaethau, ac sy'n dilyn gwybodaeth adlewyrchol a chyfochrog, gyda'r nod o wasanaethu cymdeithas a chyfrannu at newid cymdeithasol - yn bennaf trwy ddylanwadu ar bolisi gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ac ymarfer proffesiynol.
