Trosolwyg
I am a lecture in medeival literature at Cardiff University. My main research interests reside in premodern conceptions of the supernatural, with a particular interest in medeival narratives on the walking dead. My most recent monograph, Supernatural Encounters: Demons and the Restless Dead in Medeival England, c.1050-1450, was published by Routledge in 2020.

Mae fy mhrif ffocws reseach yn ymwneud â chysyniadau canoloesol a modern cynnar o'r goruwchnaturiol. Archwiliodd fy monograff cyntaf, Supernatural Encounters: Demons and the Restless Dead in Medeival England, c.1050-1450 (Routledge, 2020 ), y ffyrdd y deallwyd a mynegwyd syniadau anghyson am fwriad ac asiantaeth cyrff cerdded ('dialwyr') mewn gwahanol gyd-destunau cymdeithasol a llenyddol.
Mae'r gwaith hwn yn bwydo i mewn i'm diddordebau parhaus yn y berthynas rhwng cred feddygol a goruwchnaturiol yn y byd medeival, yn benodol mynegiadau llenyddol o'r profiad hunllefus (parlys cwsg) ac etioleg heintusrwydd.
Mae gen i ddiddordeb hefyd mewn damcaniaeth ryngddisgyblaethol a'r berthynas rhwng 'testunau' ysgrifenedig a materol, yn benodol sut y gellir defnyddio'r dystiolaeth lenyddol ar gyfer cred goruwchnaturiol i lywio ein dealltwriaeth o ddata archeolegol amwys.
