Trosolwyg
Rwy'n ddarllenydd yn yr Ysgol Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol. Rwy'n gymdeithasegydd sydd â diddordeb mewn anabledd, iechyd a salwch, meddygaeth, atgenhedlu a stigma. Fy mhrif ffocws empirig yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf fu profiadau pobl anabl a'u teuluoedd / cynghreiriaid, a chyfluniadau anabledd mewn gwahanol fannau (e.e. sgrinio cyn-geni; cyfryngau poblogaidd; y celfyddydau).
Cyhoeddwyd fy ymchwil ar draws disgyblaethau mewn cyfnodolion gan gynnwys - ond heb fod yn gyfyngedig i'r canlynol: Sociology of Health and Illness, The Sociological Review, Sociology, Medical Humanities, The British Journal of Sociology, Sociological Research Online, Health and Place, Health Risk and Society, Current Anthropology, Medical Anthropology Quarterly, Cultural Daearyddiaeth, Journal of Consumer Culture, a Men and Masculinities.
Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi dau lyfr: 1) Down's Syndrome Screening and Reproductive Politics: Care, Choice, and Disability in the Prenatal Clinic (2017), a; 2) Anabledd, Normaliaeth, a'r Everyday (2018, gyda Dikaios Sakellariou). Bydd trydydd llyfr - Recalibrating Stigma: Sociologies of Health and Illness - yn cael ei gyhoeddi gyda Gwasg Prifysgol Bryste yn 2025 (ysgrifennwyd gyda Oli Williams, Tanisha Spratt, ac Amy Chandler). Cefnogwyd fy ngwaith gan yr Academi Brydeinig, y Cyngor Ymchwil Economaidd a Chymdeithasol (ESRC), Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru, a'r Sefydliad Cymdeithaseg Iechyd a Salwch, ymhlith sefydliadau eraill.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n Gyd-olygydd y cyfnodolyn Sociology of Health and Illness (gyda Janice McLaughlin). Rwy'n gyd-sylfaenydd a chyd-gynullydd y Grŵp Ymchwil Meddygaeth, Gwyddoniaeth a Diwylliant (MeSC) a Rhwydwaith Rhyngddisgyblaethol Caerdydd ar Anabledd (CIND) ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd.

Ymchwil
Fy niddordebau ymchwil eang yw anabledd, iechyd a salwch, meddygaeth, atgenhedlu a stigma.
Rhwng mis Ionawr a mis Rhagfyr 2023, cynhaliais Gymrodoriaeth Canol Gyrfa yr Academi Brydeinig (grant MCFSS22\220015) yn archwilio sut mae oedolion ag anableddau dysgu yn meithrin naratifau amgen sy'n dathlu ac yn cydnabod eu gwerth a'u dynoliaeth.
Yn ddiweddar, rwyf hefyd wedi cwblhau astudiaeth ar gyfranogiad pobl hŷn mewn pêl-droed cerdded.
Addysgu
Yn ystod yr ychydig flynyddoedd diwethaf, rwyf wedi ymgynnull ac addysgu ar y modiwlau 'Anghydraddoldebau Cyfoes', 'Cymdeithaseg Stigma', 'Theori Fyw', 'Cyflwyniad i Gymdeithaseg', 'Ymchwiliadau Cymdeithasegol', 'Iechyd, Meddygaeth a Chymdeithas', a 'Cysyniadau Uwch mewn Cymdeithaseg Gyfoes'. Rwyf hefyd wedi dysgu ar amrywiol fodiwlau israddedig ac ôl-raddedig eraill gan gynnwys 'Dulliau Ymchwil Cymdeithasol', 'Ethnograffeg', 'Cymdeithas Ddigidol', a 'Chymunedol, Iechyd Cynaliadwy a Lles'. Dysgais hefyd am sawl blwyddyn yn Ysgol Meddygaeth Prifysgol Caerdydd.
Rwy'n Gymrawd o'r Academi Addysg Uwch.
