Yr Athro Ambreena Manji
Athro yn y Gyfraith
- Ar gael fel goruchwyliwr ôl-raddedig
Trosolwyg
Rwyf wedi bod yn Athro Cyfraith Tir a Datblygu yng Nghaerdydd ers 2014. Cyn hynny, cefais fy secondio i Nairobi fel Cyfarwyddwr Sefydliad Prydeinig yr Academi Brydeinig yn Nwyrain Affrica 2010-2014. Yn 2023, cefais fy mhenodi'n Ddeon Rhyngwladol Affrica Prifysgol Caerdydd.
Mae fy ymchwil yng Nghymdeithas a Chymdeithas Affricanaidd. Mae'n rhyngddisgyblaethol cryf ac mae'n cynnwys gwaith ar y gyfraith mewn llenyddiaeth Affricanaidd, hanes Affrica, addysg gyfreithiol, a menywod a'r gyfraith.
Mae gen i ddiddordeb proffesiynol ac ymchwil cryf mewn cyfraith tir a datblygiad. Mae hyn yn cael ei ddangos gan fy hanes o gyhoeddi. Fy llyfr diweddaraf yw The Struggle for Land and Justice in Kenya (James Currey/Boydell & Brewer 2020). Ymddangosodd yng nghefn papur Dwyrain a De Affrica a gyhoeddwyd gan Vita Books yn 2021. Dywedodd yr Athro Makau Mutua (SUNY Buffalo School of Law) am y llyfr: 'Nid ers Cyfraith Gyhoeddus a Newid Gwleidyddol yn Kenya gan Ghai a McAuslan, clasur 1970, mae gwaith mor bwysig a deallusol trawsnewidiol ar dir yn Kenya wedi ei ysgrifennu.' Mae'r llyfr yn rownd derfynol Gwobr Llyfr Gorau Cymdeithas Astudiaethau Affricanaidd yr Unol Daleithiau 2021: Dywedodd yr adolygwyr am y llyfr ei fod 'yn arloesol ac yn torri pathbreaking ill dau yn ei archwiliad amlddisgyblaethol o fater tir Kenya a'i gasgliadau arbrofol ac eithaf.' Yn 2023, daeth yn ail ar gyfer yr African Studies Assocation of Africa's Pius Adesanmi Memorial Prize for Excellence in African Writing.
Mae fy rolau allanol yn cynnwys: Llywydd, African Studies Association UK 2018-2020; Golygydd Affricanaidd AffaiRs 2019-; Aelod, Cyngor Llywodraethol AHRC 2020-2023; Bwrdd Golygyddol, Astudiaethau Cymdeithasol a Chyfreithiol 1999-; Aelod, Pwyllgor Ymgysylltu Rhyngwladol yr Academi Brydeinig 2020- a Grŵp Datblygu Polisi Addysg Uwch yr Academi Brydeinig 2022-; Aelod o'r Academi Brydeinig, Pwyllgor Hawliau Dynol Academïau'r DU (2023-2027); Aelod, Is-banel Astudiaethau Ardal , REF 2021; Aelod, Cyngor Cymdeithas Ddysgedig Cymru 2021-; Athro Gwadd Ysgol y Gyfraith UCD Sutherland 2021-2026; Aelod, Cyngor a Phwyllgor Ymchwil y Sefydliad Prydeinig yn Nwyrain Affrica 2019-; Aelod, Bwrdd Cynghori Gwyddonol Rhyngwladol, Sefydliad Max Planck ar gyfer Hanes Cyfreithiol a Theori Gyfreithiol 2022-2027.
Yng Nghaerdydd, cyd-sefydlais Ganolfan y Gyfraith a Chyfiawnder Byd-eang. Gyda chyllid gan yr Academi Brydeinig, lansiodd y Ganolfan ei Menter De Byd-eang Cyfnodolion Cyfreithiol-gymdeithasol yn 2018, gyda gweithdai ysgrifennu ar gyfer ysgolheigion cyfreithiol ar ddechrau eu gyrfa a gynhelir gan ein partner Ysgolion y Gyfraith yn Recife, Bangalore, Accra a Nairobi a fynychwyd gan olygyddion o bump o brif gyfnodolion cyfraith y DU (darllenwch am ein nodau yma).
Sefydlodd Canolfan y Gyfraith a Chyfiawnder Byd-eang raglen Pro Bono Cyfiawnder Byd-eang arloesol Ysgol y Gyfraith yn 2015, gan weithio ar achosion cyfreithiol yn Tanzania a Kenya a rhoi cyfle i'n myfyrwyr gael lleoliadau cyfraith wedi'u hariannu'n llawn gyda chyfreithwyr a'r farnwriaeth yn Nairobi a Delhi (gwyliwch ffilm fer am ein gwaith yma). Mae'r Ganolfan hefyd yn cynnal y prosiect Dyfarniadau Ffeministaidd Affricanaidd yr wyf yn ei arwain gyda Sibongile Ndashe (ISLA, Johannesburg) a Sharifah Sekalala (Ysgol y Gyfraith Warwick).
Yn 2019-2020, cefais wahoddiad i addysgu dosbarthiadau doethuriaeth ac ôl-ddoethurol yn Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Dakar, Addis Ababa, a Bogotá.

Ymchwil
Law, Politics, and Land Reform in East Africa
I have published widely on the politics of land law reform in East Africa. Topics have included the notable absence of gender as a consideration in Tanzanian land law debates, the subsequent attempt to secure women's land rights through schemes for statutory spousal co-ownership in Tanzania and Uganda, the global promotion of individual titling and registration of previously customary land by the World Bank, and the failure of land law reform in Kenya.

African Legal Education and Decolonization
Currently, the main focus of my research is on the history of legal education in Africa, with particular reference to the period of decolonization in the 1950s and 60s, a project which has been funded by the Nuffield Foundation and which is being conducted jointly with John Harrington (Cardiff Law School). Our aim is to document the different proposals for the development of law schools in specific African territories in this period. In particular we seek to interpret the conflicts which emerged over different models of legal education against the background of nationalist struggles for independence and the tensions of the Cold War period. Conflicts over curricula and staffing, for example, were influenced by different conceptions of the purpose of legal education and of lawyering more generally. We have already documented Lord Denning's active promotion of a traditionally English model of the gentleman practitioner in his extensive work in and on Africa at this time. This contrasted with the more instrumental model, promoted by leading American law schools and the Ford Foundation, which stressed the contribution to development made by lawyer-technicians. As we have argued, this tension was also a feature of the early years of the Law Department at the School of African and Oriental Studies in London, the first in Britain to establish a dedicated lectureship in African Law.

Addysgu
Rwyf wedi dysgu Problemau Byd-eang a Theori Gyfreithiol; Gwahaniaethu a'r gyfraith; a'r gyfraith a llenyddiaeth.
Bywgraffiad
Rwyf wedi dal swyddi academaidd ym Mhrifysgolion Warwick a Keele. Rwyf wedi bod yn gymrawd gwadd yng Nghyfadran y Gyfraith, Prifysgol Cape Town ac yn Dar es Salaam Law School; Cymrawd Addysgu Byd-eang yn Ysgol y Gyfraith Melbourne; a'r Fonesig Lillian Penson yn Gymrawd yn Sefydliad Astudiaethau'r Gymanwlad, Prifysgol Llundain.
Mae fy ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar y Gyfraith a Chymdeithas yn Affrica. Mae'n rhyngddisgyblaethol ac yn gydweithredol yn gryf. Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi ar hanes addysg gyfreithiol Affricanaidd, ar y gyfraith mewn llenyddiaeth Affricanaidd ac ar fenywod a'r gyfraith. Rwyf wedi cyd-gyhoeddi gyda chydweithwyr mewn hanes, gwyddor gwleidyddiaeth, ac astudiaethau datblygu. Rwyf wedi ysgrifennu'n eang ar ddiwygio cyfraith tir. Fy llyfr diweddaraf yw The Struggle for Land and Justice in Modern Kenya (James Currey/Boydell 2020).
Gwasanaethodd fel Llywydd Cymdeithas Astudiaethau Affricanaidd y DU 2018-2020. Roeddwn i'n aelod o banel Gwobr Llyfr ASAUK Fage ac Oliver yn 2016 ac yn 2018 fe wnes i gadeirio'r panel beirniadu ar gyfer Gwobr Audrey Richards. Rwyf wedi cynrychioli Cynghrair y Celfyddydau a'r Dyniaethau ASAUK. Rwy'n aelod o Gyngor y Sefydliad Prydeinig yn Nwyrain Affrica a'i Bwyllgor Ymchwil.
Rwy'n gyd-olygydd Materion Affricanaidd, y cyfnodolyn top-ranked in African Studies. Rwyf wedi bod yn aelod o'r Bwrdd Golygyddol Astudiaethau Cymdeithasol a Chyfreithiol ers dau ddegawd. Rwy'n eistedd ar Fyrddau Cynghori Rhyngwladol y Nordic Journal of Human Rights and Feminist Legal Studies. Roeddwn yn aelod o'r gweithgor ar Academia Hinsawdd Cynaliadwy Ffederasiwn Ewropeaidd Academïau Gwyddorau a'r Dyniaethau (ALLEA).
Rwy'n eistedd ar Gyngor AHRC (Cyngor Ymchwil y Celfyddydau a'r Dyniaethau) ac ar Bwyllgor Ymgysylltu Rhyngwladol yr Academi Brydeinig a'i Grŵp Datblygu Polisi Addysg Uwch. Rwy'n gynrychiolydd yr Academi Brydeinig ar Bwyllgor Hawliau Dynol Academïau y DU (2023-2027). Yn REF 2021 roeddwn yn aelod o is-banel Astudiaethau Ardal. Cefais fy ethol yn Gymrawd Cymdeithas Ddysgedig Cymru yn 2020 ac yn Gymrawd Academi y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol yn 2024. Rwy'n Athro Gwadd yn Ysgol y Gyfraith Sutherland, Coleg Unversity Dulyn 2021-2026. Rwy'n aelod o Fwrdd Cynghori Gwyddonol Rhyngwladol Sefydliad Max Planck ar gyfer Hanes Cyfreithiol a Theori Gyfreithiol 2022-2027.
Cyd-sefydlais raglen Pro Bono Cyfiawnder Byd-eang arloesol Ysgol y Gyfraith Caerdydd yn 2015, gan weithio ar achosion cyfreithiol yn Tanzania a Kenya a rhoi cyfle i'n myfyrwyr gael lleoliadau cyfraith wedi'u hariannu'n llawn yn Nairobi a Delhi.
Rwyf wedi cynghori nifer o sefydliadau rhyngwladol ar faterion tir, gan gynnwys yr FAO, UNDP, DfID, Sefydliad Hollt Valley, a Chanolfan Dinasoedd Affrica. Yn 2016, cefais fy enwebu gan Ysgrifennydd Cyffredinol Cynhadledd y Cenhedloedd Unedig ar Dai a Datblygu Trefol Cynaliadwy i weithredu fel cynghorydd arbenigol i'r gynhadledd Cynefin III a gynhelir yn Quito, Ecuador.
Rhwng 2010 a 2014, cefais fy secondio i Nairobi fel cyfarwyddwr y Sefydliad Prydeinig yn Nwyrain Affrica, sefydliad ymchwil yr Academi Brydeinig. Yn y rhinwedd honno, roeddwn i'n gyfrifol am ddatblygiad strategol y BIEA. O dan fy arweinyddiaeth, daeth y Sefydliad yn adnabyddus fel canolfan ragoriaeth ar gyfer gwaith ar newid cyfreithiol a chyfansoddiadol yn Nwyrain Affrica. Fel y cyfreithiwr cyntaf i gyfarwyddo'r Athrofa, roeddwn yn gyfrifol am ehangu pwysig ei gyrhaeddiad pwnc y tu hwnt i'w gysylltiadau traddodiadol ag archaeoleg a hanes. Cydnabuwyd y cyflawniad hwn mewn gwerthusiad pumflwyddol a gynhaliwyd gan yr Academi Brydeinig yn 2012 a oedd yn nodi'r perthnasoedd rhyngddisgyblaethol a chydweithredol trawsnewidiol yr oeddwn wedi'u meithrin gyda chydweithwyr ledled Dwyrain Affrica. Roedd y rhain yn cynnwys cysylltiadau strategol â rhanddeiliaid anacademaidd allweddol gan gynnwys cyrff diwygio'r gyfraith a chyda'r farnwriaeth ar draws y rhanbarth. Yn ystod fy nghyfnod i, fe wnes i sefydlu a sicrhau cyllid ar gyfer cymrodoriaeth Dwyrain Affrica gyntaf y Sefydliad i gefnogi ysgolheigion gyrfa gynnar o'r rhanbarth. Creuais gyfleoedd newydd i'r Sefydliad gydweithio â chyfreithwyr cyfansoddiadol blaenllaw, gan gynnwys Prif Ustus Kenya ac aelodau'r Uchel Lys; Cadeiryddion comisiynau adolygu cyfansoddiadol yn Kenya a Tanzania; a sefydliadau hyfforddi barnwrol ar draws y rhanbarth. Sicrhaodd hyn fod ymchwil a gynhaliwyd yn y BIEA yn cael effaith y tu hwnt i'r academi a bod y Sefydliad yn chwarae rhan allweddol mewn dadleuon gwleidyddol a chyfansoddiadol pwysig yn y rhanbarth.
Rwyf wedi bod yn rhan o'r prosiectau cydweithredol canlynol:
- Gyda John Harrington (Ysgol y Gyfraith Caerdydd), rwyf wedi ail-gydio yn hanes Addysg Gyfreithiol Affricanaidd. Derbyniodd y prosiect hwn gefnogaeth gan Sefydliad Nuffield a chan y Sefydliad Astudiaethau Cyfreithiol Uwch.
- Gyda Sibongile Ndashe (Menter ar gyfer Ymgyfreitha Strategol yn Affrica) a Sharifah Sekalala (Ysgol y Gyfraith Warwick) fe wnes i lansio prosiect Dyfarniadau Ffeministaidd Affricanaidd. Cafodd y prosiect hwn gefnogaeth gan Ganolfan y Gyfraith a Chymdeithas Caerdydd.
- Gyda Catherine Boone (Llywodraeth LSE a Datblygu Rhyngwladol), Jacqueline Klopp (Sefydliad y Ddaear Columbia) a Karuti Kanyinga (Sefydliad Astudiaethau Datblygu Prifysgol Nairobi) rwyf wedi astudio Rheoli Tir datganoledig yn Kenya. Cefnogwyd y prosiect hwn gan grant gan Sefydliad Anghydraddoldebau LSE.
