Trosolwyg
Fy mhrif bryder yw y berthynas rhwng llenyddiaeth a gwybodaeth. Mae fy arbenigedd arbennig yn gorwedd o fewn goblygiadau beirniadaeth economi wleidyddol (archwilio ffyrdd lle mae llawer o'n cysyniadau yn dirlawn â goblygiadau trafodion economaidd a chysylltiadau pŵer nad ydynt yn aml yn cael eu gweld) ac yn y dadansoddi a theorization o arloesedd ac arbrofi barddonol (archwilio'r hyn y gall sylw agos i farddoniaeth ei ddatgelu am y categorïau sy'n sail i naratifau dominyddol moderniaeth a moderniaeth). Rwy'n gweithio'n bennaf ar farddoniaeth yr ugeinfed ganrif a chyfoes, ac ar oblygiadau damcaniaethol astudio llenyddiaeth.

Ymchwil
Mae fy ymchwil yn dod â chraffu llenyddol ac athronyddol ar y cysyniadau a'r categorïau yr ydym yn meddwl, dadlau ac esbonio gyda nhw. Mae fy monograff, Adorno's Poetics of Form (SUNY Press, 2018) yn datgelu llawer o'r tensiynau a'r gwrthgyferbyniadau sy'n gynhenid i'r cysyniadau ymddangosiadol synnwyr cyffredin o ffurf lenyddol a barddonol, ac wrth wneud hynny mae'n cyfrif am y ffordd y mae 'ffurf' yn aml yn cael ei ddefnyddio fel math o bont neu borth rhwng y gwaith llenyddol a'r bydoedd y mae'n rhyngweithio â nhw. Rwyf hefyd wedi damcaniaethu'r ffyrdd sy'n aml yn syndod y mae'r adfywiad diweddar o ddiddordeb mewn dyfalu athronyddol yn croestorri â'r argyfwng ariannol ac economaidd sydd wedi bod yn digwydd ers 2008–9, ac wedi tynnu sylw at y pwysau cysyniadol cynyddol y gofynnir i'r term 'barddoniaeth' ei gario, gan nodi argyfwng categori sy'n parhau i fod yn bryder fy ngwaith.
Mae fy ngwaith diweddar a sydd ar ddod yn hyrwyddo'r archwiliadau hyn ymhellach, gan gynnwys trwy archwiliad llenyddol ac athronyddol o gymhlethdod cynyddol y cysyniad o gyfryngu, ac ymchwiliad i'r adnoddau a'r heriau ar gyfer astudiaethau llenyddol cyfoes a gyflwynir gan waith meddylwyr cenhedlaeth gyntaf y Sefydliad Ymchwil Gymdeithasol neu 'Ysgol Frankfurt'.
Rwyf hefyd yn gyfieithydd gweithgar, yn enwedig theori feirniadol a diwylliannol. Mae fy nghyieithiad o Schwarzbuch Kapitalismus gan Robert Kurz , gwrth-hanes beirniadol 800 tudalen o gyfalafiaeth, yn dod o MCM' o dan y teitl Satanic Mills.
Addysgu
Rwy'n ymdrechu i wneud yr ystafell ddosbarth yn ofod lle mae myfyrwyr yn teimlo eu bod yn cael eu herio i gwestiynu'r hyn yr oeddent yn meddwl eu bod yn ei wybod. Nid yw mesur fy llwyddiant yn y 'gwerthusiadau' modiwlau neu hyd yn oed o reidrwydd yn y gwaith y mae myfyrwyr yn ei gynhyrchu ar gyfer asesu (er fy mod yn parhau i gael fy synnu gan ansawdd y gwaith y mae myfyrwyr yn gallu ei gynhyrchu), ond yn y newidiadau y mae myfyrwyr yn eu gwneud i'w bywydau ac i'w bydoedd, weithiau flynyddoedd neu ddegawdau yn ddiweddarach, fel canlyniad uniongyrchol neu anuniongyrchol i rywbeth yr ydym yn gweithio drwyddo gyda'n gilydd.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n dysgu un modiwl blwyddyn olaf, 'American Poetry after Modernism', lle mae myfyrwyr yn dod ar draws ehangder o draddodiadau barddonol arbrofol ac avant-garde Americanaidd yr ugeinfed ganrif, a modiwl ail flwyddyn, 'Modernism and the City', lle mae myfyrwyr yn archwilio moderniaeth drefol trwy ymgysylltu ag amrywiaeth o weithiau llenyddol, damcaniaethol, sinematig, artistig a phensaernïol; mae'r modiwl hwn yn ymgysylltu'n benodol â gofod dinesig Caerdydd, yn enwedig ei hanes pensaernïol a phaentiadau a cherfluniau casgliadau'r Amgueddfa Genedlaethol.
Mae fy addysgu cyfredol a diweddar hefyd yn cynnwys cyfraniadau i 'Reading Up-Close', cwrs blwyddyn gyntaf sy'n addysgu arferion darllen agos uwch; 'Star-Cross'd Lovers', sy'n gofyn i fyfyrwyr fyfyrio ar y berthynas rhwng ysgrifennu, awydd a hunaniaeth; a Dulliau Ymchwil i fyfyrwyr meistr.
