Trosolwyg
Rwy'n hanesydd modern cynnar sydd â diddordebau ymchwil penodol mewn diwylliannau artiffisial, gofod trefol a phensaernïaeth, a rhwydweithiau o grefft a gwybodaeth 'wyddonol'. Mae fy ngwaith cyhoeddedig wedi archwilio themâu megis arbenigedd, diwylliannau materol coffa, a defodau rhoddion ymhlith crefftwyr a masnachwyr. Yn fwyaf diweddar, rwyf wedi ysgrifennu am weithdai gofaint aur metropolitan fel mannau arbrofol sylweddol.
Mae fy monograff, o'r enw Crafting identities: artisan culture in London, c.1550-1640 (MUP, 2021), yn dadlau bod neuaddau lifrai urddau artisan wedi dod yn safleoedd amlswyddogaethol ar gyfer arloesi technegol, coffau dinesig, a chyfnewid cymdeithasol a gwleidyddol. Gan leoli croestoriad sylfaenol o ddiwylliannau crefft, mercantile, 'gwyddonol', a gwybodaeth sefydliadol ym metropolis Lloegr, mae'n dangos, am y tro cyntaf, sut y cafodd statws cymdeithasol a deallusol crefftwyr Llundain ei wreiddio mewn cyd-destunau gofodol a materol.
Ymunais â Phrifysgol Caerdydd ym mis Ionawr 2020 fel Darlithydd mewn Hanes Modern Cynnar (ar Gynllun Darlithwyr Disglair ). Cyn hyn, roeddwn yn gydymaith ymchwil ôl-ddoethurol ar brosiect a ariannwyd gan Ymddiriedolaeth Leverhulme, Metropolitan Science, ym Mhrifysgol Caint (2017-20), ac yn Gymrawd Hanes yng Ngholeg Murray Edwards, Prifysgol Caergrawnt (2016-17).
