Mae Hannah Thompson-Radford yn Uwch-ddarlithydd Cyfathrebu a Newyddiaduraeth ym myd Chwaraeon. Mae hi'n ysgolhaig ac yn ohebydd llawrydd ac mae'n creu cynnwys ac yn gweithio fel sylwebydd ym maes chwaraeon menywod, gan ganolbwyntio’n bennaf ar griced.

Mae ganddi radd BA Saesneg a Gwyddor Chwaraeon, gradd MA yn y Cyfryngau Byd-eang ac MSc mewn Dulliau Ymchwil Gwyddor Gymdeithasol. Mae ei diddordebau ymchwil yn croestorri â chymdeithaseg chwaraeon a'r cyfryngau a chyfathrebu gyda phwyslais cyffredinol ar rywedd.

Mae PhD Hannah a ariennir gan yr ESRC yn damcaniaethu gwelededd/anwelededd chwaraeon menywod ac yn fwy penodol, mae'n archwilio barn chwaraewyr criced benywaidd elît am eu gwelededd/anwelededdd yn y cyfryngau yn ogystal â'u hagweddau at y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Mae lleisiau athletwyr benywaidd elît o'r gorffennol a'r presennol yn ganolog i’w gwaith sy'n golygu bod ei hymchwil yn ymwneud â menywod ym myd chwaraeon, a’i bod yn cael ei datblygu ar y cyd â nhw ac er eu lles nhw. Yn ogystal mae Hannah wedi cyhoeddi ar faes beichiogrwydd a bod yn fam ym myd chwaraeon, er enghraifft, ar ddefnydd Serena Williams o'r cyfryngau cymdeithasol.

Ar wahân i'w gwaith ymchwil, mae Hannah yn gweithio ar ei liwt ei hun yn y cyfryngau cymdeithasol ac mae wedi gweithio ar ddigwyddiadau mawr megis Gemau Olympaidd y Gaeaf, Cwpan Criced y Byd, Cwpan Billie Jean King, Cwpan Davis a digwyddiadau Formula E. Yn ogystal, mae hi wedi ymdrin â WSL a Phencampwriaeth yr FA ac mae wedi gweithio fel swyddog y cyfryngau ar gyfer Clwb Pêl-droed Menywod Dinas Caerlŷr ac fel rheolwr y cyfryngau ar gyfer criced Loughborough Lightning yng uwch-gynghrair flaenorol Kia yn ogystal â rheoli a chynorthwyo gyda masnachfreintiau pêl-rwyd a rygbi Lightning.

Ar hyn o bryd mae hi’n gweithio ar ei liwt ei hun ar gyfer Chwaraeon y BBC ar griced ac mae ei gwaith yn ymddangos yn aml ar blatfformau megis The Cricketer, The Independent, rhaglen gemau The Official England Cricket match programme ac Yahoo Sports. Mae Hannah hefyd yn sylwebu ar gystadlaethau criced menywod rhanbarthol yr ECB ar gyfer ffrydiau byw The Blaze a Western Storm. Mae hi hefyd wedi creu cynnwys ar gyfer The Hundred gan weithio gyda'r Trent Rockets.

Diddordebau Addysgu

Mae addysgu Hannah yn gymysgedd o waith damcaniaethol ac ymarferol, gan ganolbwyntio'n bennaf ar sut mae rhanddeiliaid chwaraeon yn defnyddio’r cyfryngau digidol a chysylltiadau yn y cyfryngau digidol.

FY-012 Introduction to Being Human

This module will focus on introducing what it is to be human from a broad humanities and social science perspective. It will offer the opportunity to engage with key ideas, theory and literature within these disciplines. It will therefore prepare students for further academic work in the humanities and social sciences and initiate the development of critical thinking and creative abilities.
MS-114 Delivering and Decoding the News

This is a theory and practice module. This first half is dedicated to the study of journalism and the role it plays in our lives and in wider society. It will explore the normative theories of journalism and contemporary practices so that we can consider what journalism should be, and how it has developed and evolved over time. Once students are familiar with the theoretical underpinning of journalism and what constitutes best practice we will then explore the fundamental elements of news operations to enable students to produce their own journalism texts. This part of the module will focus on the study and practice of news values, the conventions of news writing, news gathering, interviewing and ethical considerations in news reporting. The module starts with a series of lectures and later incorporates workshops for the practical section of the module. Sessions are designed to incorporate discussions and evaluation of current news events and their coverage.
MS-116 Pitch Invasion: Sport and its Impact on Society

This is an introductory sports module exploring the impacts of sport on culture and society. It will examine how sport has had an influence on the development and growth of mass media from 20th century press and broadcast through to 21st century digital and social media; political or soft power use of sport; sports fandom; and the cultural impact of sport on issues associated with race, gender and sexuality. By introducing students to key debates around sport they will develop a deeper understanding of how contemporary sport fits into wider society
MS-233 Investigating Text, Process and Audiences

Investigation is central to both the academic and practical approaches to journalism and communication. For example, journalists need to mine sources, data-sets and human experiences in order to create their stories. On the other hand, to make meaningful contributions to scholarship, students need to be able to synthesize key findings from a wide body of journalistic output by applying rigorous research methods. This module recognises that investigation has to take place as an academic, journalist and original content creator. Moreover, any graduate entry job in any realm will involve an element of data mining, investigation, objective analysis and the development of reasonable and justifiable conclusions. These two (academic and practical) approaches have considerable synergy since both necessitate interpersonal skills that are particularly useful when interviewing sources of academic or journalistic narratives. Furthermore, basic numeracy skills enable data-sets to be interpreted to develop scholarly understanding as well as materials that are central to the aims of storytelling. With a very strong emphasis on developing generic employability skills, this module offers students the opportunity to develop theoretical and practical knowledge, not only to support their third year project but to provide a cutting edge within the media sector job market.
MS-310 Dissertation Preparation

This module introduces the practice of dissertation writing and research approaches for the study of media forms. texts and systems and their contribution to social life. It begins to explore the breadth of media studies through attention to the ways in which media matter. In what ways, and how significant are the media in the formation of individual identities and in the practices of everyday life? In the more public world, to what extent are media key to providing knowledge and enabling the debate necessary to the practices of democracy? The course enables students to build on their own experiences of media as consumers and users. But it also encourages critical attention to how the field of media studies has historically been forged: through argument and contestation between different academic approaches and disciplines.
MS-311 Dissertation

This dissertation enables students to engage in long term, in-depth research on a topic of their choice subject to the approval of the Department.
MS-M15 Sports Communication - Journalism and Promotion

This module offers a comprehensive guide to to the practices, techniques and skills used in the sports communication industry. It will allow students to focus on current critical themes and debates in sports journalism and promotion, and through theoretical analysis and the application of theory in practice, will provide students with the opportunity to develop a digital, multi-media portfolio of written work. Students will in turn learn the theories and practices that can be used to develop and promote a personal sports communicator's brand to the relevant industry sectors. The module will appeal to students new to journalism and promotional practice, but who are ambitious to deepen their understanding of best practices that could allow them to engage with the emerging and fast-changing sports communication mediascape.
MS-M19 All to play for: Inside Sporting Integrity

The aim of this module is to provide students with the ability to critically evaluate sport from an ethical perspective. They will be presented with a range of key ethical issues in the area of sport from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Student will examine the emergence and development of sport from amateur to professional, gamesmanship, doping, gambling, politics, and many more contemporary issues. The key thread running throughout the module will be the power of the media to shape the debates around sporting integrity and how sporting authorities respond.
