Mae Ceri yn ddarlithydd Newyddiaduriaeth yn Adran Y Cyfryngau, Cyfathrebu, Newyddiaduraeth a Chysylltiadau Cyhoeddus. Mae'n gwneud ymchwil ym maes cyfathrebu gwleidyddol, gan ganolbwyntio'n benodol ar wleidyddiaeth pleidiau lleiafrifol, crefydd a gwleidyddiaeth, gwleidyddiaeth ddadleuol a chamwybodaeth.

Derbyniodd ei ddoethuriaeth o Ysgol Newyddiaduriaeth a Chyfathrebu Torfol Prifysgol Wisconsin-Madison ble roedd hefyd yn Gymrawd Ymchwil Sefydliad Knight i'r Ganolfan Cyfathrebu ac Adnewyddu Dinesig. Mae'n gyd-awdur llyfr a gyhoeddwyd yn ddiweddar sy'n archwilio toriadau mewn cyfathrebu dinesig a chymdeithas sifil yn nalaith Wisconsin, ‘Battleground: Asymmetric communication ecologies and the erosion of civil society in Wisconsin’

Cyn ymuno ag Abertawe, roedd yn Ymchwilydd Cyswllt ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd ar astudiaeth a ariannwyd gan AHRC- 'Countering disinformation: enhancing journalistic legitimacy in public service media'. Roedd yr ymchwil hwn yn archwilio i rôl cyfryngau gwasanaethau cyhoeddus y DU yn yr 'infodemic' presennol, gan gwestiynu eu gallu i weithredu mewn amgylchedd o newyddion ffug a'r ymdeimlad o wirionedd ('truthiness').

Mae ei ymchwil wedi ei gynnwys yn y Washington Post, The Conversation, Salon, The New Yorker, Vox a'r Washington Post Monkey Cage, ac mae wedi ymddangos ar nifer o raglenni teledu a radio.

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-241 Misinformation, Fake News and Fact-Checking

To properly function, democratic societies require informed public. A public able to make information-based decisions. And the estate of journalism has traditionally been the source of much of this information. However, evidence suggests that the public are not being informed, people cannot agree on facts and the current time has been called the ¿era of misinformation¿. How did this happen? This is a module that enables students to engage with one of the most pressing concerns within communication ¿ what is misinformation? How do you spot it? How and why does it spread? Why do so many people believe conspiracy theories? And what tools do we have to try and combat the problems of misinformation? Students will understand the theoretical underpinnings of the communication processes which lead to misinformation, the psychological reasons why we live in this era of misinformation and have an opportunity to understand and practice fact-checking journalism.
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-M10 Dissertation or Project

An innovative practice-based alternative to a Masters dissertation. Students are encouraged to develop projects across more than one area of media practice and to do so with dual supervision that embraces both theory and practice. Work produced should be at a professional level, accompanied by a reflective essay and presentation exploring the contextual, theoretical and practical issues raised by the project.
MS-M11 MA Project and Dissertation Preparation

This core module comprehensively prepares students for their Master¿s project or dissertation, which is an integral part of the requirements for the degree. It incorporates several key themes and issues across the communications, media practice and PR industries. It is a challenging, and stimulating module ¿ both for professional practitioners and those new to communications and media practice. The module encourages students to unite theory and practice in productive ways. It introduces students to a number of important research and project management methods essential for undertaking a successful project or dissertation.
MSJM03 Comparative Journalism

This module examines issues in journalism in a global context. It discusses issues in journalism practice and compares and contrasts them in relation to cultural and social practices in international media systems.

MSW313 Paratoi ar gyfer y Traethawd Hir

Mae'r cwrs hwn yn cyflwyno arfer ysgrifennu traethawd hir a dulliau astudio gwahanol gyfryngau, testunau a systemau, a'u cyfraniad at fywyd cymdeithasol. Mae'n dechrau archwilio ehangder astudiaethau'r cyfryngau drwy sylwi ar y ffyrdd mae'r cyfryngau'n bwysig. Ym mha ffyrdd, a pha mor bwysig yw'r cyfryngau wrth lunio hunaniaethau unigolion ac yn arferion bywyd beunyddiol? Yn y byd mwy cyhoeddus, i ba raddau y mae'r cyfryngau'n allweddol wrth ddarparu gwybodaeth a hwyluso'r drafodaeth sy'n angenrheidiol i arferion democratiaeth? Mae'r cwrs yn galluogi myfyrwyr i adeiladu ar eu profiadau eu hunain o'r cyfryngau, fel derbynyddion a defnyddwyr. Ond mae hefyd yn annog sylw beirniadol i sut mae maes astudiaethau'r cyfryngau wedi cael ei ddatblygu'n hanesyddol: drwy drafodaeth a dadleuon rhwng ymagweddau a disgyblaethau academaidd gwahanol.
