Addysgu
Mae fy addysgu presennol ar lefel israddedig a meistr yn canolbwyntio ar faterion cymdeithasol-ddiwylliannol, economaidd a gwleidyddol trwy ymgysylltu ag enghreifftiau empirig mewn mannau 'datblygedig' a 'datblygu' i archwilio profiadau byw, bob dydd o anghydraddoldeb, cyfiawnder a dewisiadau amgen. Rwy'n tynnu ar themâu cyfarwydd fel bwyd, teulu, dŵr, crefydd a hunaniaeth i gefnogi myfyrwyr i wneud cysylltiadau rhwng eu profiadau a'r themâu sy'n cael eu trafod.
Yn flaenorol, rwyf wedi dysgu dulliau ansoddol, daearyddiaethau diwylliannol, daearyddiaethau datblygu a bod yn gyfarwyddwr rhaglen MSc mewn Gwleidyddiaeth Bwyd a Chynaliadwyedd (2017-2020). Rwyf hefyd wedi cefnogi ymweliad astudio maes â Tanzania (2017-2019), ac wedi datblygu ymweliad astudio maes â De Affrica (2020-22).
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n Gymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch.
