Rwy'n Uwch ddarlithydd mewn Polisi ac Ymarfer Cymdeithasol. Fy meysydd diddordeb yw:

  • Digartrefedd a thai ‘ansicr’ (e.e. sgwatio, gwarcheidiaeth eiddo)
  • Y sector rhentu preifat
  • Creu cartref a lle
  • Rhyngweithio rheng flaen, yn enwedig o fewn y wladwriaeth les/trydydd sector.
  • Profiadau a) menywod a rhywiau lleiafrifol a rhywioldeb b) pobl niwroamrywiol.

Rwy’n mabwysiadu ymagwedd polisi cymdeithasol hollbwysig, sy’n canolbwyntio ar drafodaeth a chreu ystyr gan roi sylw i effaith pŵer anwastad. Mae gennyf ddiddordeb arbennig mewn defnyddio a) theori feirniadol (e.e. damcaniaeth Queer a Crip) a moeseg gofal i ddeall a mynd i'r afael â materion mewn polisi cymdeithasol.

Rwy’n cadeirio Grŵp Ymchwil Rhywedd a Rhywioldeb YAPhCC a Chyfres Seminarau Ymchwil wythnosol YAPhCC ac rwy’n ymwneud â Rhwydwaith Poblogaethau a Pholisïau Cwiar (https://sites.google.com/view/qpapnetwork/about-qpap).
