Trosolwyg
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil wedi'u lleoli ar groesffordd cysylltiadau rhyngwladol ffeministaidd, geowleidyddiaeth feirniadol a chymdeithaseg wleidyddol ryngwladol. Dros y ddau ddegawd diwethaf rwyf wedi gweithio'n bennaf ym maes Astudiaethau Milwrol Critigol (www.criticalmilitarystudies.org), gan gyhoeddi ymchwil ar sut mae rhyfel, a pharodrwydd rhyfel, yn llunio bywydau beunyddiol pobl a sut y gall bywyd bob dydd, yn ei dro, ddylanwadu a hwyluso rhyfel a chanlyniadau geopolitical eraill. Rwyf wedi bod, ac mae gennyf ddiddordeb arbennig mewn sut mae rhywedd, hil, ethnigrwydd, rhywioldeb a dosbarth cymdeithasol yn siapio blaenoriaethu, defnyddio a chyflawni grym milwrol, yn enwedig mewn cymdeithasau democrataidd rhyddfrydol. Yn fwy diweddar, rwyf wedi dechrau ymchwilio i rôl sgandal wrth lunio gwleidyddiaeth y byd ac yn yr hyn y mae'n ei ddatgelu am drais, atebolrwydd a threfn fyd-eang, gyda fy nghyd-awduron Dr Jamie Johnson (Prifysgol Caerlŷr) a Dr Owen Thomas (Prifysgol Caerwysg).
Yn 2015, deuthum yn Brif Olygydd y cyfnodolyn Critical Military Studies (Taylor & Francis) a gyd-sefydlwyd gennyf hefyd (http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/rcms20).
Rwy'n gyd-olygydd cyfres lyfrau Gwasg Prifysgol Caeredin, Advances in Critical Military Studies, gyda Dr Sarah Bulmer ym Mhrifysgol Caerwysg (https://edinburghuniversitypress.com/series-advances-in-critical-military-studies.html).
Roeddwn hefyd yn Llywydd Cymdeithas Astudiaethau Rhyngwladol Ewrop (http://www.eisa-net.org/) rhwng 2017 a 2019. Yn 2017 bûm yn Gadeirydd Rhaglen (gyda Dr Cemal Burak Tansel ym Mhrifysgol Sheffield) yn 11eg Cynhadledd Pan-Ewropeaidd yr EISA ar Gysylltiadau Rhyngwladol, a gynhaliwyd yn Barcelona, Sbaen (http://www.paneuropeanconference.org/2017/).
