Athro Cymdeithaseg
Trosolwyg
Trosolwg:
Rwy'n Athro Cymdeithaseg yn Ysgol y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol lle rwy'n dysgu ethnograffeg, cymdeithaseg drefol, theori rhyngweithiol, dulliau ymchwil ansoddol, ac ethnomethodoleg.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n PI y DU ar brosiect rhyngwladol ORA7 "Visions of Policing" a ariennir gan yr ESRC. Gan weithio gyda chydweithwyr yng Nghanada, yr Almaen a Ffrainc, mae'r prosiect hwn yn ymchwilio i sut mae technolegau gweledol yn cynhyrchu ffurfiau sy'n dod i'r amlwg o oruchwyliaeth ac atebolrwydd yr heddlu mewn cyd-destunau cyhoeddus a chyfreithlon, yn ogystal â'u defnydd mewn hyfforddiant yr heddlu i gyflawni dealltwriaeth o 'ymddygiad swyddogion rhesymol'.
Yn fwy cyffredinol, mae fy ymchwil yn cael ei ddylanwadu gan waith Harold Garfinkel a Harvey Sacks ac mae wedi cynnwys: ethnograffeg o waith allgymorth trefol gyda'r digartref ar y stryd; astudiaeth o weithdrefnau rhesymu a chodio gwyddonol cymdeithasol; ac astudiaethau o ryngweithio symudol ac arferion categoreiddio gofodol mewn beicio, cerdded a rhedeg. Yn fy amser hamdden, rwy'n dilyn rhai o'r diddordebau uchod trwy ethnomethodograffeg barhaus o waith Achub Mynydd. Ac rydw i, fel llawer o rai eraill, yn ceisio gweithio allan ffyrdd o ddisgrifio golygfeydd a gweithgareddau sy'n cynnwys robotiaid (cymdeithasol) a systemau "AI"/awtomataidd.
Rwyf bob amser yn hapus i siarad am unrhyw un o'r pethau uchod, a mwy, ac rydw i ar gael i oruchwylio ymchwil doethurol mewn unrhyw faes sylweddol sy'n cynnwys ethnograffeg, astudiaethau fideo, ac EMCA.

Ymchwil
Rwy'n gynullydd sefydlu grŵp ymchwil Ethnomethodology Ethnomethodology Rhyngweithio a Siarad (CEEIT) Caerdydd lle rydym yn cyfarfod yn rheolaidd i geisio gweithio allan rhai "problemau rhagarweiniol".
Ar hyn o bryd fi yw DP y DU ar brosiect rhyngwladol £1.7m ORA7 "Visions of Policing". Gan weithio gyda chydweithwyr yng Nghanada, yr Almaen a Ffrainc, mae prosiect ESRC y DU yn ymchwilio i sut mae technolegau gweledol yn cynhyrchu ffurfiau goruchwyliaeth ac atebolrwydd yr heddlu sy'n dod i'r amlwg mewn cyd-destunau cyhoeddus, cyfryngau cymdeithasol a chyfreithlon, yn ogystal â'u defnydd mewn hyfforddiant yr heddlu i gyflawni dealltwriaeth o 'ymddygiad swyddogion rhesymol'. Bydd y prosiect yn rhedeg tan 2025. (ES/X010775/1)

Yn fy amser hamdden, rwy'n cynnal astudiaeth heb ei ariannu o waith tîm Achub Mynydd . Ar ôl ymuno â MRT y Bannau Canolog yn 2017, rwy'n gweithio ar gynhyrchu disgrifiad ethnomethodolegol o'u harferion penodol ar y safle gwaith.
Rwyf wedi cynnal ystod o astudiaethau heb eu hariannu - gan ddefnyddio data fideo hunan-gynhyrchu a deunyddiau cyfryngau cymdeithasol - ar ryngweithio a symudedd mewn mannau cyhoeddus. Mae'r astudiaethau hyn wedi bod yn sail i nifer o gyhoeddiadau, ac wedi sefydlu diddordeb parhaus mewn trefnu lleoliadau cyhoeddus trefol.
Cyn hynny, roeddwn yn gydymaith ymchwil ar brosiect WISERD a ariannwyd gan ESRC "Urban Patrols" (2010-2014). Roedd y prosiect yn ethnograffig ei gymeriad a'i ffocws ac yn disgrifio arferion symudedd amrywiaeth o "droedwaith" gan gynnwys criwiau glanhau'r cyngor, Swyddogion Cymorth Cymunedol yr Heddlu, ac, yn bennaf, tasg gweithwyr allgymorth i ddarparu 'cymorth cyntaf' (o wahanol fath) i bobl ddigartref y stryd, lle bynnag yr oeddent yn eu cyfrif.
Geiriau allweddol: rhyngweithio; ethnomethodoleg; dadansoddiad sgwrs; dadansoddiad categoreiddio aelodau; symudiadau, mannau cyhoeddus; ymresymiad; canfyddiad; methodograffeg
Addysgu
Gweithiais fel Cyfarwyddwr Astudiaethau Israddedigion ar gyfer Ysgol y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol rhwng 2020 a 2024.
Rwyf wedi dysgu ac addysgu ar ystod o fodiwlau israddedig gan gynnwys Cyflwyniad i Gymdeithaseg (B1), Syniadau Allweddol (B1), Cyflwyniad i Ddulliau Ymchwil y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol (B1), Ethnograffeg a Bywyd Bob Dydd (B2), Cymdeithaseg Stigma (Bl3), Cymdeithaseg ar y Symud (B3), Theori Fyw (Y3), Cymdeithaseg ar y Symud (B3), Theori Fyw (Y3), Cymdeithaseg Trychinebau (Bl3). Fe wnes i ddylunio a chynnull cwrs ar Ethnomethodology (B3). Rwyf hefyd yn addysgu myfyrwyr TT ychydig am EMCA fel rhan o'r cwrs MSc Dulliau Ymchwil y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol.
Y tu allan i Gaerdydd rwy'n cyfrannu at gyrsiau NCRM ar Ddadansoddi Ethnomethodology a Dadansoddi Sgyrsiau a Dadansoddi Categoreiddio Aelodaeth (edrychwch ar wefan NCRM am fanylion).
