Trosolwg

Mae Chris yn Uwch-ddarlithydd yn yr Adran Troseddeg, Cymdeithaseg a Pholisi Cymdeithasol, gyda chefndir mewn cymdeithaseg ac athroniaeth. Mae wedi cyhoeddi dros 40 o erthyglau a phenodau llyfrau, ynghyd ag ysgrifennu dau lyfr ar bynciau ym meysydd astudiaethau gwyddoniaeth a thechnoleg a chymdeithaseg risg amgylcheddol.

Mae ei ddiddordebau ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar y ffyrdd y mae cymdeithasau'n delio ag ansicrwydd, yn enwedig ansicrwydd sy'n cyd-fynd ag arloesi technolegol. Yn y cyd-destun hwn, mae ei waith ymchwil yn y gorffennol wedi edrych ar effaith gymdeithasol a rheoleiddio nanodechnoleg a genomeg bersonol.

Yn ddiweddar, mae ei waith ymchwil wedi edrych ar effeithiau cymdeithasol posib trawsnewid ar systemau ynni carbon isel. Yn benodol, mae wedi delio â goblygiadau trawsnewid ynni am gyfiawnder cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol, gyda ffocws ar Gymru. Fel rhan o'r gwaith hwn, mae wedi cydweithio i ddatblygu ymagweddau cyfranogol newydd at helpu i rymuso cymunedau i drawsnewid ynni a helpu i lywio'r ffordd y gallai ei chymryd.

Mae'n Brif Olygydd ar y cyd y cyfnodolyn Futures.

PPS202 Interrogating Qualitative Social Science Methods

This module will build on research understanding attained in year one and will provide and contextualise knowledge related to social research, focussing on developing understanding of qualitative methodologies. The module will particularly focus on developing students¿ understanding of interview-based and observational research. It will utilise real-world examples to critically analyse qualitative research design, data collection and analysis in order to assess the research of others. It will include an appreciation of the theoretical underpinnings of qualitative research and associated research methods.
PPS213 Social Problems I

This module introduces students to the concept of the social problem. Building on introductory compulsory modules in sociological theory studied at level four, it draws on key theoretical perspectives within sociology to understand the variety of ways society approaches and interprets social ills. Drawing on a selection of current and historical examples of social problems, it aims to equip students to critically engage with social issues as they are articulated across a variety of public arenas from social media to public policy.
PPS214 Social Problems II: Media, Myths and Moral Panics

Building on knowledge and skills introduced in Social Problems I, this module explores in detail the processes through which society constructs social issues. It begins by critically exploring the sociology of myth and inviting students to analyse the structures of myths and urban legends. Focusing in-depth on social problems as social processes, it encourages students to think critically about the way social problems are defined, presented and approached in a variety of public arenas and encourages students to apply these insights to explore a selection of current events.
SPC304 Society, Science and Technology

The goal of this module is to introduce students to analysis of science and technology from a social and cultural standpoint, and with it, to the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Along the way, students will explore not only how science and technology influence society, but also how social structures and practices shape the development of science and technology, encountering key controversies, from environmental issues (e.g. environmental racism and disputes over climate change) to public health emergencies (e.g. AIDS and COVID-19). The module has two thematic foci. First, we ask how sociological theories help us understand what kinds of institutions science and technology are. How do they change over time? How do new scientific disciplines (e.g. neuropsychology or nanoscience) emerge? What makes scientific theories credible? Second, we explore how sociologists have helped further our understanding of the impacts of science and technology. How has scientific expertise been employed in helping govern societies and with what results? What concerns arise around the social uses of science and technology in relation to democracy, environmental sustainability, and social justice?
