Ymchwil
Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn amrywiaeth o bynciau yn hanes modern Japaneaidd ac Asiaidd sydd i gyd yn drawswladol eang eu natur.
Canolbwyntiodd fy ngwaith cyntaf ar iaith mewn lleoliad trawswladol, gan ddadlau bod dewis a datblygiad ieithoedd a ddefnyddir mewn cyd-destunau rhyngwladol a thrawswladol yn ddadlennol ac yn bwysig. Roedd cenadaethau diplomyddol, masnach ym mhorthladdoedd y cytundeb, lledaenu ymchwil wyddonol, rhwydweithiau comiwnyddol radical - yr holl gyfarfyddiadau hyn a mwy ar wahân i ddigwyddiadau croesi ffiniau a oedd yn gofyn am ddewis a defnyddio iaith i hwyluso cyfnewid a dealltwriaeth. Er ein bod yn aml yn anwybyddu'r cyfrwng y cynhaliwyd sgyrsiau ac ysgrifennu llythyrau, er mwyn canolbwyntio ar gynnwys y cyfarfodydd hynny, mae edrych yn fanylach ar ddewis iaith a defnydd iaith yn dod â mewnwelediadau ychwanegol i natur cyfarfyddiadau rhyngwladol.
Yn 2019-20 fi oedd prif ymchwilydd y prosiect AHRC/ESRC, The Japanese Scientist In Japan And In The World, a ariannwyd gan yr AHRC/ESRC, sy'n ceisio datblygu hanes gwyddoniaeth Japaneaidd mewn cyd-destun byd-eang, gan archwilio'r heriau a wynebir gan wyddonwyr o Japan wrth dreiddio i rwydweithiau ymarfer gwyddonol y Gorllewin ac wrth ddiffinio sefyllfa drostynt eu hunain yng nghymdeithas Japan. Mae fy ymchwil bersonol yn ceisio edrych ar ddatblygiad ffiseg Japan trwy fywgraffiad dau enillydd gwobr Nobel: Yukawa Hideki a Tomonaga Shinichiro.
Yn olaf, mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd mewn teithio a chyfarfyddiadau rhyngwladol. Mae'r ymchwil hon yn canolbwyntio ar brofiadau teithwyr y Gorllewin i Japan ddiwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg a'r ugeinfed ganrif a rôl cyfarfyddiadau anffurfiol wrth lunio cysylltiadau rhyngwladol rhwng pwerau Japan a'r Gorllewin. Trwy edrych ar deithwyr ac ysgrifennu teithio, mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn adeiladu syniadau poblogaidd o Japan, rôl profiad personol yn hyn, a'r ffyrdd y dylanwadodd y rhain ar gysylltiadau rhyngwladol mwy confensiynol.
Addysgu
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n dysgu'r modiwlau annibynnol dwy flynedd nesaf:
- Chwilio am Modern Asiaidd: Japan o'r 19eg a'r 20fed Ganrif (HS1768, Blwyddyn U / Graddio Dau)
- Cipolwg ar yr anghyfarwydd: Teithwyr i Japan (HS1858, U/Grad Blwyddyn Tri)
Rwyf hefyd yn addysgu ac yn cynnull modiwl hanes blwyddyn gyntaf gyntaf y flwyddyn i raddedigion:
- Gwneud Hanesion Byd-eang: Asia a'r Gorllewin (HS1108)
Yn y blynyddoedd blaenorol rwyf hefyd wedi darlithio ac addysgu seminarau (ac efallai y byddaf yn gwneud eto!) ar y modiwlau israddedig canlynol:
- Gwneud y Byd Modern (HS1105)
- Hanes mewn Ymarfer (HS1107)
- Dulliau o Hanes
Meysydd goruchwyliaeth
Ar hyn o bryd mae gennyf ddau fyfyriwr ymchwil:
- Michael Trull - 'hanes diplomyddol newydd' o gysylltiadau Eingl-Japaneaidd (PhD)
- Alec Batty - Caplaniaid yn y Dwyrain Pell yn ystod yr Ail Ryfel Byd (Mphil)
