Overview
I studied a BA in Philosophy and Economics and an MA in Ethics and Social Philosophy at Cardiff, before completing a doctorate at the Centre for Social and Political Thought at Sussex University. Since 2016, I've worked for the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol alongside Cardiff University, developing philosophy teaching and research in Welsh.
My main research interests are political philosophy, philosophy of religion, Jürgen Habermas, the Frankfurt School, and deliberative democracy.
Astudiais BA mewn Athroniaeth ac Economeg ac MA mewn Moeseg ac Athronaieth Cymdeithasol ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd, cyn cwblhau doethuriaeth yng Nghanolfan Syniadaeth Cymdeithasol a Gwleidyddol Prifysgol Sussex. Ers 2016, rwyf wedi gweithio gyda'r Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol yn ogystal â Phrifysgol Caerdydd, er mwyn datblygu addysg ac ymchwil athronyddol yn y Gymraeg.
Mae fy ngwaith ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar athroniaeth wleidyddol, athroniaeth crefydd, Jürgen Habermas, Ysgol Frankfurt, a democratiaeth trafodol.
