My Full-time Creative Writing PhD began in October 2021. It will be my third qualification at Cardiff, following a First-Class Honours degree in English Literature in 2015 and a Masters in Creative Writing with Distinction in 2021, and I am excited to work with the department who have played such a big part in the development of my writing practice.
Under the supervision of Dr Abigail Parry and Dr Lisa El Refaie, I am attempting to recreate what I love about the medium of comics in a prose piece, demonstrating the versatility and vitality of both mediums in the process. My research touches on comics studies, remediation, social semiotics and experimental literature.
Within ENCAP, I am a PGR tutor working with first year students. I have a substantial number of creative publications to my name in a multitude of formats, and my PhD work has been featured in the Doctoral Academy's Images of Research exhibition two years consecutively (2021/22).
Ymchwil
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys comics, animeiddio, adfer, semioteg gymdeithasol a llenyddiaeth arbrofol. Fe wnaethant hysbysu'n helaeth fy adolygiad o'r ffilm Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) ar gyfer y blog Fantasy Animation, sef fy nghyhoeddiad academaidd cyntaf, ac yn fan cychwyn defnyddiol i unrhyw un a hoffai wybod mwy am fy ngwaith PhD.
Rwyf hefyd wedi adolygu nifer o gyhoeddiadau comics ac wedi cyfweld nifer o awduron ac artistiaid comics ynghyd â fy nghyd-PhD Sophie Buchaillard fel rhan o'n podlediad Writers on Reading. Gellir dod o hyd i restr chwarae o'r cyfweliadau hyn yma.
