Trosolwyg
Mae fy agwedd tuag at hanes syniadau yn debyg iawn i anthropolegydd. Rwy'n ceisio adfer a gwneud synnwyr o sut mae pobl, sy'n byw ar wahanol adegau ac mewn gwahanol leoedd, yn cysyniadu eu crefyddau crefyddol eu hunain ac yn wrthwynebydd, paradeim gwyddonol, hunaniaethau cenedlaethol ac iwtopia gwleidyddol.
Mae gen i arbenigedd arbennig mewn Tsiecoslofacia, Catholigiaeth Seisnig a chysylltiadau Comiwnyddol-Gatholig yn ystod y Rhyfel Oer.
Fy nghyhoeddiadau mwyaf adnabyddus yw Defosiwn Catholig yn Victorian England (Gwasg Prifysgol Rhydychen), 'Christianity in Western Europe from the Enlightenment' yn A World History of Christianity, and Czechoslovakia: The State That Failed (Yale University Press).
Bydd fy llyfr nesaf, Catholigiaeth y tu ôl i'r Llen Haearn, hefyd yn cael ei gyhoeddi gan Yale University Press.
Mae fy ngwaith ar hanes Tsiecoslofacia wedi denu sylw llywodraethau, diplomyddion a llunwyr polisi, gan gynnwys NATO.
Yn 2016 fe'i dewiswyd fel Astudiaeth Achos Effaith AHRC i Gymru.
Tsiecoslofacia: The State that Failed yn ymddangos mewn ysgrifenwyr rhyngwladol a gwyliau llyfrau, gan gynnwys Gŵyl Awduron Prague.
Cynhyrchwyd argraffiad Tsiec newydd gan Petrkov yn 2020 gyda chyflwyniad gan Brif Weinidog cyntaf Tsiec.
Yng Ngwanwyn 2021, roedd yn un o'r 10 llyfr a ddarllenwyd fwyaf yn y Weriniaeth Tsiec. http://maryheimann-ceskoslovensko.cz/
Sefydlais a chyfarwyddais Ganolfan Ymchwil Canol a Dwyrain Ewrop Caerdydd a Chasgliad Arbennig Tsiecoslofacia
Rwy'n goruchwylio myfyrwyr ôl-raddedig yn hanes modern Ewrop, yn enwedig hanes Catholig a Tsiecoslofacia.
Rwyf wedi cael fy enwebu gan fy myfyrwyr am wobrau 'Rhagoriaeth Addysgu', 'Tiwtor Personol' ac 'Aelod Staff Mwyaf Dyrchafol'.
Yng ngwobrau diweddaraf (2024) Cyfoethogi Bywyd Myfyrwyr a gynhaliwyd gan Brifysgol Caerdydd ac Undeb Myfyrwyr Caerdydd, cefais fy enwebu ar gyfer 'Tiwtor Personol y Flwyddyn' a 'Profiad Dysgu Mwyaf Eithriadol'.
Gwnaed fy addysgu dan arweiniad ymchwil yn destun erthygl nodwedd yng nghylchgrawn Times Higher Education .
Mae cyfweliadau diweddar yn y cyfryngau yn cynnwys New York Times, BBC Radio 4, DV TV, Sunday Supplement a All Things Considered

Ymchwil
Mae fy agwedd tuag at hanes syniadau yn debyg iawn i anthropolegydd. Rwy'n trin y gorffennol fel cyfres o ddiwylliannau tramor y mae eu safbwyntiau, rhagfarnau a rhagdybiaethau meddyliol yn wahanol i'n rhai ni.
Mae fy ymchwil yn ceisio adfer a gwneud synnwyr o sut mae pobl, sy'n byw ar wahanol adegau ac mewn gwahanol leoedd, yn cysyniadu eu crefyddau crefyddol eu hunain ac yn wrthwynebol, patrymau gwyddonol, hunaniaethau cenedlaethol ac iwtopia gwleidyddol.
Rwy'n cyhoeddi mewn dau faes penodol:
- Hanes crefyddol y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg a'r ugeinfed ganrif, yn enwedig Prydain
- Hanes gwleidyddol Dwyrain Ewrop yr ugeinfed ganrif, yn enwedig Tsiecoslofacia
Fy nghyhoeddiadau mwyaf adnabyddus yw Defosiwn Catholig yn Victorian England (Gwasg Prifysgol Rhydychen), 'Christianity in Western Europe from the Enlightenment' yn A World History of Christianity, and Czechoslovakia: The State That Failed (Yale University Press).
Cyhoeddwyd argraffiad Tsiec newydd, Československo - stát, který zklamal, yn 2020, gyda rhagair gan Brif Weinidog cyntaf Tsiec, Petr Pithart, a chymeradwyaeth gan gyn-arweinydd y Fforwm Dinesig Jan Urban a dirprwy Weinidog Tramor Slofacia Magdaléna Vášáryová.
Mae fy llyfr nesaf, Catholigiaeth y tu ôl i'r Llen Haearn, hefyd i'w gyhoeddi gan Yale University Press.
Rwyf wedi derbyn amryw o wobrau ymchwil, gan gynnwys gan Ymddiriedolaeth Leverhulme, yr AHRC a'r ESRC.
Mae fy ymchwil wedi bod yn destun Astudiaethau Achos Effaith REF (2014) ac AHRC (2016).
Rwy'n ddiolchgar i BASEES, y Llysgenhadaeth Tsiec yn Llundain, Llysgenhadaeth Slofacia yn Llundain, a Chonswl Slofacaidd Anrhydeddus yng Nghymru am gefnogaeth i ddilyn digwyddiadau ymgysylltu ehangach diweddar sy'n gysylltiedig ag ymchwil:
