Rwy'n ymchwilio ac yn addysgu ar sut mae crefydd, masnach a biwrocratiaeth y Dadeni yn defnyddio technegau llenyddol i gyflawni eu gwaith, a sut, yn gyfnewid, awduron llenyddol - yn enwedig Shakespeare a'r beirdd metaffisegol - ymgysylltu â'r sectorau hyn.

Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi chwe monograff, dau gasgliad wedi'u golygu, ac oddeutu saith deg o erthyglau, penodau a nodiadau ar y meysydd hyn.

Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n gweithio ar lyfr newydd ar sut y gall testunau ymgynghoriaeth reoli ddarparu darlleniadau defnyddiol i feirniaid Shakespeare (nid dim ond y ffordd arall), sy'n cynnwys cyn-hanes o theori ymddygiad sefydliadol. Mae llawer o destunau'r cyfnod yn manteisio ar y rhagfarnau cynhenid mewn meddwl sy'n creu amodau rhesymoldeb rhwymedig wrth wneud penderfyniadau. (rhagfarnau sydd bellach yn cael eu disgrifio gan economegwyr ymddygiadol fel hewristiaid, llwybrau byr i feddwl trwy broblem). Maent felly'n caniatáu rhywfaint o nudging, yn aml trwy greu pensaernïaeth i fanteisio ar un opsiwn dros un arall. Gellir mynd at gwnsler o'r fath fel techneg hunangymorth sy'n ddefnyddiol ac yn bleserus, gan ganiatáu i'r darllenydd fwynhau ffantasi am fod yn effeithiol. Efallai y bydd y llyfr yn dadlau, gellir mynd at ddramâu hanes Shakespeare yn yr un modd.

Rwy'n Gyfarwyddwr Ymchwil Pwnc ENCAP ar gyfer Saesneg ac Ysgrifennu Creadigol, golygydd cyffredinol cyfres Traethodau ac Astudiaethau Cymdeithas Lloegr (cyfrolau o 2020-2024, https://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/english-association/publications/essays-and-studies/,) ac yn aelod o grŵp Diwylliannau Amgylcheddol Caerdydd, https://cardiffsciencehumanities.org/cardiff-environmental-cultures/.

Project application in preparation

Metaphors at work. How do literary techniques influence the working environment? Does, for instance, a firm employ the metaphors of the epic, in its accounts of heroic labour, or the revenge tragedy, in its employer/ee relationships? I am planning to bring together an inter-disciplinary and cross-career team to work on a history of working metaphors, and on a contemporary study of how these metaphors facilitate or block progress.

I currently teach the following modules:

Leaders in Shakespeare
Representations of Work in Early Modern Drama
Modern British Political Drama
Elizabethan Shakespeare
Jacobean Shakespeare
Talking to God in the Early Modern Period
Texts in Time 1500-1800

Dissertations and theses (BA, MA, and PhD): my next project is on Metaphors at Work, and I am actively seeking students interested in exploring this area. The question is, how do literary techniques influence the working environment? Does, for instance, a firm employ the metaphors of the epic, in its accounts of heroic labour, or the revenge tragedy, in its employer/ee relationships? I want to gather together a an inter-disciplinary and cross-career group to work on a history of working metaphors, and a contemporary study of how these metaphors facilitate or block progress. There is a large and unsatisfied demand for research by doctoral students into the impact of historical literature on contemporary life. Cardiff University has two outstanding resources in this area. Early English Books Online has a digital copy of every book published between 1473 to 1700. Special Collections (SCOLAR) has collections of national significance in physical copies of early modern histories and prescriptive manuals on how to do something (especially leadership, education, horticulture, and manners). These have not yet been read through by any researcher, for marginalia and other signs of use. I would welcome expressions of interest, at any level, in this project.

Educated at Cardinal Newman Catholic Comprehensive School, Rhydyfelin, and Hertford College, University of Oxford.

First career in the City of London, with KPMG Peat Marwick McLintock, as senior charterted accountant and banking analyst, managing c.10 colleagues.

Second career in NGOs, as a Finance Director through V.S.O. for the Zambian Council for the Handicapped, managing c. 35 colleagues, and with Oxfam Head Office, as the senior overseas accountant for Mozambique (with additional field work in the Sudan, Zambia, and the DRC).

Third career in universities: Oxford, the Open University, Bangor, and here in Cardiff, teaching early modern literature and modern political drama.

Fourth career still a possibility!

early modern rhetoric
the representation of religion (all periods)
the representation of trade (all periods)

To cite Raymond Williams, ‘culture is ordinary’; as Michel de Certeau argues, even banal situations can exhibit a resistant, alternative micro-politics in which individuals claim autonomy. Students who want to reconceive of creativity as a quality of ordinary people - shown in the way they produce extraordinary things in common places - are particularly welcome. Literature is not ethically superior to prescriptive management theory, but it is often more methodologically productive...
