Mae Dr Emmanuel Siaw yn Ddarlithydd Cysylltiadau Rhyngwladol. Mae ganddo PhD mewn Cysylltiadau Rhyngwladol o Brifysgol Royal Holloway Llundain a gradd MPhil yn y Gwyddorau Gwleidyddol o Brifysgol Ghana. Cyn ymuno â Phrifysgol Abertawe, roedd yn addysgu ym Mhrifysgol Ghana, Prifysgol Royal Holloway Llundain a Study Group UK. Bu hefyd yn gynorthwy-ydd ymchwil maes ac yn swyddog ar gyfer sefydliadau cymdeithas sifil yn Ghana, gan gynnwys Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) a Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Foundation, Ghana.

Mae gwaith ymchwil Emmanuel yn canolbwyntio'n bennaf ar effaith Affricanaidd mewn cysylltiadau rhyngwladol, yn archwilio sut mae elfennau newidiol megis ideolegau, pŵer meddal a mynegiannau diwylliannol yn llywio cysylltiadau diplomyddol, cynghreiriau ac ymgysylltiad rhyngwladol taleithiau Affricanaidd. Er mai cysylltiadau rhyngwladol Affrica yw prif ffocws ymchwil graidd Emmanuel, mae hefyd ganddo ddiddordeb mawr yn nhirlun gwleidyddol domestig Affrica. Felly, mae rhan o'i ddiddordebau ymchwil yn canolbwyntio ar sut mae gwleidyddiaeth ddomestig yn llywio polisi tramor ac i'r gwrthwyneb. Ar hyn o bryd mae'n cynnal prosiect ymchwil ryngddisgyblaethol ar wleidyddiaeth cerddoriaeth yn Affrica.

Diddordebau Addysgu

Mae gan Emmanuel brofiad addysgu helaeth yn y gwyddorau gwleidyddol a chysylltiadau rhyngwladol, sy'n cynnwys sbectrwm eang o is-feysydd, gan gynnwys damcaniaeth cysylltiadau rhyngwladol, gwleidyddiaeth y tu hwnt i'r Gorllewin, gwleidyddiaeth datblygu, gwleidyddiaeth etholiadol a democratiaeth, gwleidyddiaeth hunaniaeth yn Affrica, meithrin heddwch ar ôl gwrthdaro a chyfiawnder trawsnewidiol yn Affrica. Mae wedi addysgu mewn sefydliadau addysg uwch yn Ghana a'r DU. Ar hyn o bryd, mae'n addysgu modiwlau israddedig ac ôl-raddedig ar gyflwyniad i gysylltiadau rhyngwladol. Mae ef bob amser yn awyddus i ymgymryd â gwaith goruchwylio ymchwil ôl-raddedig wrth addysgu, gan groesawu myfyrwyr i drafod prosiectau ymchwil posib a chydweithrediadau.

PO-126 Introduction to International Relations

This course offers an introduction to the study of International Relations (IR). The aim is to lay some of the conceptual and historical groundwork necessary for the study of politics at the global level, and to offer a systematic introductory overview of the field. Students will gain a broad understanding of the debates and issues that are key to IR. In addition to exploring fundamental concepts such as sovereignty, anarchy, power, and global governance, the module encourages students to take a critical look on world politics, and we will consider themes such as race, gender (in)equality, and colonialism. Students will learn to apply concepts, understand the history and evolution of international order and become familiar with some of the current global challenges related to human rights, climate change, and the rise of non-Western powers. They will also be introduced to the main theoretical approaches that are used to make sense of world politics. By the end of the module, students will have developed the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to further explore and analyse various aspects of IR. To develop students general research and study skills, the module will also include training sessions on library research and essay writing. For many students, this will be the first time engaging with the subject. IR is a diverse, complex, and exciting field of study, and we have sought to develop a course that is both accessible, engaging, and intellectually stimulating. We hope that you will enjoy the module, and that it will spark enthusiasm for the study of international relations.

PO-3319 Researching Politics 1

Researching Politics (RP) provides students with the skills that underlie the process of conducting and communicating cutting-edge research in Politics and International Relations. RP works by creating topic groups, each comprised of 8-10 students. Each group will follow a bespoke course set out by their topic tutor, guiding them through the literature in a substantive research area. Students are invited to select a list of preferred options in the first teaching week of the term. This list is then used to assign students to topics and group sessions run from the second week of teaching onwards. Alongside the topic-specific teaching, there is a general lecture series focusing on discovering, analysing and presenting complex information. The lecture series also focuses on dealing with the ups and downs of working as part of a team.
PO-3320 Researching Politics 2

Researching Politics 2 (RP2) is the follow-on module from RP1 and it acts as the culmination for the subject knowledge and transferable skills developed in that module. RP2 puts the creative emphasis in the hands of the students, with the module convenor and topic tutors giving guidance and feedback to facilitate the realisation of research conceived, developed, executed and presented by students. In this way, it tries to approximate the worlds of further study and work into which students will be progressing following the completion of their degree schemes. It is a module where all of the summative assessments are comprised of group work, although individual marks can be varied depending on each student¿s performance. Students are also required to submit an individual self-assessment, detailing what they have learned about their own strengths and weaknesses on the basis of the sustained group work. In RP2, you will extend and deepen the research undertaken in RP1 and continue to meet regularly in order to share ideas, opinions and sources in your groups. These meetings will include several where the topic tutor provides guidance and feedback as well as those where the meetings are student-led.
PO-3339 Africa in International Relations

Africa faces numerous complex challenges and opportunities in the realm of international relations. However, many of the major traditional international relations theories and popular discourses marginalise African perspectives and treat Africa either as irrelevant or a passive recipient of the effects of great power politics. Students will discover that this is far from reality as this module places Africa and its engagement within the continent and the outside world at the centre of analysis. The aim of the module is not to deny the structural conditions that reinforce Africa¿s relatively weaker position in an uneven global political and economic system; instead, it explores how African actors, institutions and processes navigate their in-(ter)-dependence and interact with other actors within the global system. This module focuses on African-centric perspectives organised around four main themes. The first theme concentrates on theorising Africa¿s international relations, particularly on debates about post-colonial theories and African agency. The second theme examines Africa¿s role in the international system, from colonialism to independence. The third theme assesses Africa¿s international diplomacy in the context of the liberal world order, specifically focusing on subthemes such as development, conflict and intervention, regional integration, economic diplomacy, soft power and cultural diplomacy. The last theme emphasises contemporary resistance to the world order and asks whether emerging powers are fundamentally shifting the position of Africa in the international system. The module encourages students to challenge conventional understandings of international politics while developing a detailed and nuanced understanding of Africa in global politics.
PO-M35 Approaches to International Relations

The module explores a variety of approaches to the study of internation relations. It focuses on key issues which have become central to the sunject, notably the changing states system and the emergence of major non state actors, economic globalisation and security studies. It also examines key theoretical approaches, notably realism, liberalism and Marxism; Neo-realism and neo-Liberalism; and reflectivist critiques of rationalism, including constructivism, critical theory, post-structuralism and feminism.
