Dr Nic Matthews

Mae prif gyfrifoldebau addysgu Nic yn canolbwyntio ar ddarparu dulliau ymchwil i fyfyrwyr israddedig ac ôl-raddedig yn yr Adran Twristiaeth, Lletygarwch a Digwyddiadau. Mae helpu myfyrwyr i werthfawrogi gwerth sgiliau ymchwil i'w datblygiad academaidd a phroffesiynol yn hanfodol i'r dull a fabwysiadwyd gan bawb wrth gyflwyno'r modiwlau hyn. Yn ogystal, mae Nic yn dysgu ar fodiwlau rheoli twristiaeth ar draws y lefelau a darpariaeth Cymdeithaseg yr Adran.

Mae Nic yn arwain ar fodiwl Traethawd Hir ôl-raddedig yr Adran sy'n cael ei gymryd gan fyfyrwyr MSc Rheoli Twristiaeth a Lletygarwch Rhyngwladol a MSc Rheoli Prosiectau.

Mae gan Nic PhD mewn gwleidyddiaeth polisi hamdden a chwaraeon yr UE ac mae wedi bod yn ymwneud â phrosiectau ymchwil sy'n archwilio rôl dinasyddiaeth wrth lunio polisïau, darpariaeth hamdden a thegwch, a lles a llythrennedd iechyd mewn plant a phobl ifanc. Mae ei gwaith presennol yn cynnwys archwilio hygyrchedd technolegau symudol o fewn twristiaeth a sut y gallai'r sector gwyliau a digwyddiadau fynd i'r afael â mynediad i fywyd diwylliannol i'r rhai sy'n byw mewn tlodi.
