Trosolwg

Rwy'n ddarlithydd Daearyddiaeth Ddynol ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe, ac wedi bod yn gymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch ers 2023. Ar hyn o bryd, rwy'n arwain y thema ymchwil 'Newid ein Hunain a'n Prifysgol' ar gyfer Sefydliad Ymchwil i Weithredu ar yr Hinsawdd Prifysgol Abertawe.

Mae gen i wybodaeth eang fel gwyddonydd amgylcheddol ac yn fwy diweddar, fel daearyddwr dynol. Yn ystod fy PhD a'm gwaith ôl-ddoethurol, gwnes arbenigo yn y croestoriadau rhwng yr argyfwng hinsawdd/ecolegol, creadigrwydd a straeon (gyda diddordeb penodol mewn creadigrwydd 'pob dydd'), gan helpu i ddatblygu fframweithiau newydd a phethau dychmygol ar gyfer ymateb i'r argyfyngau hyn mewn ffyrdd mwy cyfiawn a gofalus. Yn ddiweddar, gwnes gyd-olygu'r llyfr ‘Art and Creativity in an Era of Ecocide’ (Bloomsbury 2023). Mae llinyn canolog fy ngwaith yn ymwneud â dod â theimladrwydd, gofal a chreadigrwydd ecolegol i'r ystafell ddosbarth, a chyfrannu at y cwestiwn ehangach o sut dylai a gallai prifysgolion drawsnewid i fod yn arweinwyr wrth feithrin deallusrwydd emosiynol ac ymarferol ar gyfer yr argyfwng hinsawdd ac ecolegol.

Y tu hwnt i'm hymrwymiadau addysgu ac ymchwil, rwy'n cyfrannu'n rheolaidd at y cyfryngau cyhoeddus ar yr argyfwng hinsawdd, actifiaeth ac addysg ac rwyf wedi ysgrifennu'n ddiweddar ar gyfer Times Higher Education, The Conversation, Open Democracy ac Environmental Politics.

Diddordebau Addysgu

Mae fy mhrif gyfrifoldebau addysgu wedi'u rhannu ar hyn o bryd rhwng cydlynu modiwl traethawd hir y drydedd flwyddyn (GEG331/2) a modiwl yr ail flwyddyn ar Ddaearyddiaeth Gweithredu ar yr Hinsawdd ac Actifiaeth (GEG273). Rwyf hefyd yn cyfrannu at fodiwlau'r radd Meistr ar Wyddor Hinsawdd a Pholisi, Dulliau Ymchwil Ansoddol a Newid yn yr Hinsawdd: Y Gorffennol, y Presennol a’r Dyfodol. Rwy'n diwtor i fyfyrwyr israddedig yn y flwyddyn gyntaf a'r ail flwyddyn ac rwy'n goruchwylio un myfyriwr PhD.

Cefais gymrodoriaeth yr Academi Addysg Uwch yn 2023 ac rwy'n ymwneud â materion gwladychiaeth, hiliaeth, cyfiawnder amgylcheddol a phryder ecolegol fel rhan o'm gwaith addysgu.

Rwyf hefyd wedi rhoi darlithoedd gwadd i fyfyrwyr israddedig a gradd meistr ym Mhrifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant a Choleg Atlantic ym Maine, UDA.

GEG273 Geographies of Climate Action and Activism

This course will explore the kinds of knowledge, politics, and imaginations that underpin current responses to the climate crisis. It will engage critical and cutting-edge debates in Geography and related fields to help us grapple with the multiple ways we might understand and respond to a warming world. The module will begin by introducing climate change as a `hyperobject¿ - that is, a phenomenon that is so vast in its temporality and scale that it is hard to grasp as a traditional `object', but nonetheless requires urgent and widespread action. We will explore the particular politics and imaginaries associated with past and recent prominent climate movements (Extinction Rebellion, Greta Thunberg, and the School Strikes, for example) whilst examining the various attempts at thinking environment and politics differently that some of these movements embody. The final part of the module will engage with the concepts of ecological anxiety and ecological citizenship. This is a crucial and exciting time to be studying the emerging responses to the climate crisis, as there are so many examples from the world around us, and geographers are especially well placed to explore their tensions and possibilities. This course will help students to develop their `climate change literacy¿ and to learn how to navigate and contribute to the complex political worlds of climate science, activism, and agency.
GEG331 Dissertation Report: Geography

The dissertation is an original, substantive and independent research project in an aspect of Geography. It is typically based on approximately 20 - 25 days of primary research and several weeks of analysis and write-up. The end result must be less than 7,500 words of text. The dissertation offers you the chance to follow your personal interests and to demonstrate your capabilities as a Geographer. During the course of your dissertation you will be supported by a student-led discussion group and a staff supervisor, and you will also provide constructive criticism to fellow students undertaking related research projects, learning from their research problems and subsequent solutions. This support and supervision is delivered through the 'Dissertation Support' module, which is a co-requisite.
GEG332 Dissertation Support: Geography

This module provides structured, student-led peer-group support and academic staff group supervision for students undertaking the 30-credit 'Dissertation Report: Geography' module. This support and supervision is assessed through the submission of a PowerPoint Poster in TB1 and the submission outline in TB2. Working within a supervised Student Peer Group, you will also have the opportunity to provide constructive criticism to fellow students undertaking related research projects, learning from their research problems and subsequent solutions. This module complements the 'Dissertation Report: Geography' module, which is a co-requisite.
GEGM15 Qualitative Research Methods

This module provides an introduction to the main data-sources and analysis methods used in qualitative research. In addition to covering the key conceptual and epistemological issues associated with qualitative research design, the module provides an introduction to a range of qualitative techniques used in social science research including questionnaire design, interviewing, observational methods, visual methodologies and textual analysis. Issues associated with combining a mixture of qualitative methods are also considered. The strengths and limitations of various techniques are explored with particular emphasis on issues of reliability, validity and representativeness.
