Trosolwg

Rwy'n uwch ddarlithydd yn yr Ysgol Addysg ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Fy mhrif ddiddordebau ymchwil yw pontio pobl ifanc o'r ysgol i addysg ôl-16 ac addysg uwch. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn anghydraddoldebau dosbarth cymdeithasol o ran mynediad at addysg bellach ac uwch a chyfranogi ohoni. Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd yn rôl a swyddogaeth prifysgolion o fewn cymdeithas, gan gynnwys eu rôl mewn cymdeithas sifil.

Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn goruchwylio graddau PhD sy'n canolbwyntio ar faterion sy'n ymwneud ag anghydraddoldebau addysgol, dosbarth cymdeithasol, ehangu cyfranogiad mewn addysg uwch a phenderfyniadau addysgol a phontio pobl ifanc.
