Trosolwg

Rwy'n arbenigwr ym maes hanes cymdeithasol Prydain, yn enwedig Cymru a Lloegr, yn ystod cyfnod canol yr Oesoedd Canol (c.1000-1300). Rwy'n ymddiddori'n benodol yn nylanwad y cysylltiadau rhwng rhywedd, lleoliad a dosbarth ar weithredoedd a phrofiadau aelodau benywaidd teuluoedd blaenllaw'r Gororau cyn goresgyn Cymru ym 1282, a chan brofiadau ymgyfreithwyr benywaidd Iddewig yn Lloegr y canoloesoedd cyn yr Alltudiad (1290). Mae rhywfaint (ond nid y cyfan!) o'm gwaith diweddar wedi edrych ar ymgyfreitha ymysg menywod a rhyngweithio'r gwahanol systemau cyfreithiol yn rhanbarth y ffin rhwng Cymru a Lloegr, ac ar fenywod Iddewig gerbron y llysoedd seciwlar yn Lloegr yn y drydedd ganrif ar ddeg. Mae fy nghyhoeddiadau diweddaraf yn cynnwys erthyglau yn English Historical Review, Law and History Review ac Anglo-Norman Studies, yn ogystal â thraethawd arobryn, wedi'i anelu at ddarllenwyr ehangach, yn Journal of the Mortimer History Society.

Yn ddiweddar cefais gyllid gan gynllun Grantiau Bach yr Academi Brydeinig/Leverhulme a Chymdeithas Hanes Iddewig Lloegr i ddechrau astudiaeth o ymgyfreithwyr Iddewig, yn ddynion a menywod, yn Lloegr cyn 1290 ac i archwilio cyd-destun gogledd-orllewin Ewrop hyd at y Pla Du

Rwy’n Gymrawd y Gymdeithas Hanes Frenhinol ac yn Cyd-Gyfarwyddwr MEMO, Canolfan Ymchwil Canoloesol a Modern Cynnar Abertawe. Rwyf hefyd yn ymgynghorydd hanesyddol ar brosiect mawr dan arweiniad Cadw i ailddatblygu Castell Caerffili fel atyniad treftadaeth mawr.

FY-018 History, Memory and the Creation of Identity

In most human societies, history and memory are important in the creation of identity. For example, consider how recent political debates often involve debates about the relevance of particular strands of history (such as `empire¿) to modern society. This module explores these relationships from the ancient societies of Egypt, Greece, and Rome to the modern world. It is designed to provide Foundation Year students intending to pursue degrees in Classical Studies, Ancient History, Ancient History & Egyptology, American Studies, Medieval Studies, or History with an opportunity to reflect critically on what the past means and how we go about studying it.
HHC100 Fieldtrip module: The Past in its Place

People understand the past and its significance through a range of mediums, including historic documents, objects, artefacts, buildings, structures and monuments. This module will give the students a comprehensive introduction to how we professionally approach and engage with historic visitor attractions. Incorporating some of the major visitor attractions and museums of South Wales, a range of themes and periods will be addressed. Students will be encouraged to explore digital resources in the exploration of each site, will engage in an innovative portfolio of assignments, and will be encouraged to think critically about how the past is presented in site-specific contexts. Creative responses to the module brief will be encouraged. This module is designed around active, participatory, and experiential learning. It designed to have a strong social element where students will be interacting for longer periods (beyond the traditional seminar allocation) and, as such, developing key social and networking skills. Digital proficiency around the use of on-line digital data resources, applications for reprographic presentation and creative responses to the assignments will form part of the skills and employability remit.
HIH237 The Practice of History

The purpose of the module is to encourage you to think more deeply about how historians work and, in particular, about how we as historians can locate and use primary historical sources effectively as a means of interpreting and understanding the past. During the module we will learn about the survival of historical evidence, how it is organised and made accessible to historians to undertake their research, and how to effectively locate and interpret it in your studies. We will consider how the process of doing historical research changes over time, in particular with the impact of recent developments like digitization. At the core of the module will be the work you undertake with others in your seminar group using a range of primary sources which your seminar tutor will introduce to you. As part of the module assessment you will also undertake your own primary source based research project using items from these collections. The module is designed strengthen your analytical skills and to help prepare you for the more extensive uses of primary evidence which you will encounter in final year special subjects and dissertation.
HIH276 Britain in the Early Middle Ages: Slaves, Dragons, Queens and Vikings

This course provides an overview of the history and archaeology of Britain between 400 and 1100 AD. Taught through a series of thematic case-studies, it is designed to cover issues of constructed ethnicity, migration, slavery, gender, memory and myth. No previous knowledge of the period is required, and students will be encouraged and supported to engage with a fascinating range of source materials. In a chronological sweep through 700 years of British history, the course covers the age of migration, pagan belief systems, the origins of kingdoms, the conversion to Christianity and the impacts of the Viking Age.
HIH287 The Anglo-Norman World, 1066-1225

The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 transformed the politics, society, and culture of the British Isles and Northern France. This module examines the impact of the Norman Conquest and the cross-Channel connections that it established. It considers the political framework in the 150 years after the Conquest, notably the evolution of the Anglo-Norman realm under William the Conqueror and his sons William Rufus and Henry I; the `Anarchy¿ of King Stephen¿s reign; and the rise and fall of the Angevin or Plantagenet `empire¿ under Henry II and his sons Richard the Lionheart and King John. The module also investigates the relationships between the Anglo-Norman elites and their neighbours in Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, and in France. Cultural developments examined in the module include the place of women within Anglo-Norman society; the role of the Church and monasticism; the evolution of identities; and the ways in which authors represented their times and values through historical writing and literature such as the Arthurian `Matter of Britain¿. The module also reflects upon the impact of Anglo-Norman culture upon the landscape, including through visits to historical sites.
HIH3300 History Dissertation

The History dissertation is a free-standing, 40-credit module that runs across both semesters of Level Three. Candidates conduct research upon a subject of their choice, devised in consultation with a member of staff teaching for the degrees in History, and concerning a topic that falls within staff research and teaching interests.
HIMD00 Medieval Studies Dissertation

A dissertation of 15,000 - 20,000 words written on a topic decided by the student in consultation with the dissertation supervisor. This represents Part Two of the MA programme in Medieval Studies.
HIMM02 Research Folder

A course designed to help students to identify their dissertation subject, to prepare for it bibliographically, and to plan its research and writing.
HIMM04 Introduction to Advanced Medieval Studies 2: Themes and Sources

This module aims to apply the skills and approaches learned in the module HIMM01: Introduction to Advanced Medieval Studies 1: Skills and Approaches to a range of important themes in Medieval Studies, including gender, identity, laws and customs, spirituality, heritage. The module is interdisciplinary and draws on historical, literary and visual sources.
