Overview
I am partly responsible for developing Welsh medium educational provision in the School of Social Sciences. It’s possible for you to have a personal tutor who speaks Welsh. The School offers Welsh medium provision in a number of different modules on subjects such as Social Research, Social Theory and Sociology. For more information, you’re welcome to contact me. I also teach on modules through the medium of English on subjects such as Education. In addition, I supervise dissertations at undergraduate and postgraduate level and supervise PhD and Professional Doctorate students. I also conduct research in a number of different areas including education and the Welsh language.
I have also developed a number of social science resources in Welsh:
