Mae fy arbenigedd ymchwil ac addysgu ym maes llenyddiaeth a diwylliant materol y ‘19eg ganrif hir’. Mae fy ngwaith yn ymchwilio i’r berthynas rhwng profiad canfyddiadol a modernedd y 19eg ganrif. Rwy’n cyflwyno darlleniadau hanesyddol o ffynonellau llenyddol a gweledol yn wyneb dadleuon cyfredol ynghylch theorïau effaith, ontoleg a galluedd materol. Mae’r gwaith hwn yn ailystyried methodolegau materoliaeth diwylliannol sefydledig. Ymhlith y cyhoeddiadau mae’r monograff diweddar, Light Touches: Cultural Practices of Illumination, London 1800-1900 (2017).

EN-100 Monsters, Theories, Transformations

Literary works open up different meanings depending on the questions we ask them and the assumptions we bring to them. Literary meaning is in continual transformation. This module examines some of the ways in which this occurs through critical reading and intertextual revision. The first half of the module looks at two works, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Bram Stoker's Dracula, that have been plurally interpreted by critics; the second half of the module considers the transformation of narrative and ideology in the 'intertextual' revision of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre by Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea. The course looks at how meaning in literature is transformed and how it transforms the ways in which we see the world.
EN-120 English Essentials

This is a skills-based module which will equip students with the technical and critical expertise that is necessary for their academic journey in English Literature and Creative Writing. It is designed to support the transition from post-16 study to undergraduate study and to show students *how* to become successful scholars of English. How should we read texts? How do we write essays? Focusing on an exciting anthology of texts selected by the English academics at Swansea, this team-taught module uncovers the power of written language. We will explore how writers inspire and challenge their readers, how to think critically, how to close-read, how to construct powerful arguments and how to produce written work that is rigorous, academic and convincing. This module empowers students to think, write, and persuade.
EN-3031 Dissertation - English Literature

The Dissertation is an optional, two-semester, 40-credit module designed to develop high-level academic skills and intellectual independence in the students. A first-semester skills-building programme will include: research skills, summary skills, bibliographic skills, ability to synthesise succinctly, planning and organisational skills, correct presentation of a thesis and bibliography, presentational skills and public speaking. Students conduct research on a subject of their choice, devised in consultation with a member of the English literature staff. The topic will be devised to fall within staff research and teaching specialisms, broadly defined. Students attend group sessions on research skills in Semesters 1 and 2, and have individual meetings with supervisors in Semester 2.
EN-M89 Publishing: Cultures and Contexts

This team-taught module introduces students to different cultures and contexts of the publishing industry and its history. Students will gain both practical and intellectual skills across a range of topics taught by staff from English Literature and Creative Writing. The module begins with focused seminars on book history and print culture, and then moves on to workshops in which students will gain a familiarity with industry terminology and the mechanisms of the book trade. Students will be able to choose from different methods of assessment that develop academic or industry-focused skills.
VC-100 Materiality and Meaning in the Visual Arts

This module introduces some of the wide variety of materials and techniques that can be studied as visual culture, including painting, architecture, photography, animation and printing. We will explore striking examples, experiment with different techniques and practices, and discuss how meaning is encoded in visual artefacts of various kinds. This module will also help you develop some of the key research and communication skills that you will need for degree-level study.
VC-101 Introduction to Visual Culture

Now, more than ever, our world is saturated with images. We create, distribute, and consume images at an unprecedented scale and pace. This module introduces students to the discipline of Visual Culture and equips them with empowering skills of visual interpretation and contextualisation. We begin by thinking about what an image is and what role representations play in our understanding of ourselves and others. You will study a wide range of material including painting, prints, photography, film, video games, social media and architecture. In doing so you will consider how the discipline of Visual Culture connects with the related fields of Film Studies and Art History. Throughout, we question the relationship between looking, knowing, and dynamics of power.
VC-200 Techniques of Seeing

This module develops and extends ideas encountered in the first-year module, Introduction to Visual Culture by providing historical contextualization of early screen culture. We consider a range of visual devices and entertainment formats and examine different conditions of visuality, their meanings and cultural functions. We will think about nineteenth-century complexities of visuality, image-making, and viewing in relation to twentieth-century and twenty-first century screen practices.
