  Study at a partner institution abroad.

• GEB301 Interdisciplinary Field Course to the Indian Himalayas (Sikkim)

  This residential field course module explores the relationship between environment and society in the Himalayan state of Sikkim in NE India on the borders with China, Nepal, Tibet and West Bengal. The course is inter-disciplinary in approach and policy-oriented. Students work with members of University Staff in mixed groups of biologists, human geographers, physical geographers and zoologists. Through intensive inter-disciplinary group working, students utilise (and pass on) their specialist skills in the group exercises and projects that are undertaken.

• GEG230 Social Geographies

  This module is an overview of the processes co-constructing space and social relations, providing different ways of understanding our contemporary world and how people live within it. The module explores the field of social geography across different geographical scales, and relationships and interdependencies existing between these scales, creating boundaries and connections. These scales and spaces include the body, the home, community, the street, city and nation. The module emphasizes the multiplicity of approaches, theories and arguments about human life in Social Geography, and the connections and interrelations which exist between different fields of geographical enquiry. This approach focuses on multiple economic, political and cultural interactions in varying contexts, defined via places, power relations and systems of organization and control. It encourages students to be open to this diversity of interpretations and living patterns, and to think critically about different issues related to the co-construction of space and society.

• GEG329 Migration Theory

  The phenomenon of international migration continues to challenge global society on the levels of international politics, law and human rights, social and population policies. As a phenomenon underpinned by fluidity and radical difference, migration always escapes simple modes of representation and reductive theorisations. Indeed, as the dramatic events of the last decade have demonstrated, migration regularly takes shape around new scenarios, follows unpredictable routes and often involves migrant lives that exceed the expectations, representations and restrictions of mainstream migration studies and policy orthodoxies. The course introduces students to the major debates surrounding contemporary migration and aims to foster a sophisticated understanding of the relationship between migration and global structures, governance, development, state, space and time.

• GEG331 Dissertation Report: Geography

  The dissertation is an original, substantive and independent research project in an aspect of Geography. The dissertation research project is based on 20 - 25 days of primary research (e.g fieldwork, lab work, archive work) and several months of analysis and write-up. The end result must be less than 10,000 words of text. The dissertation offers you the chance to follow your personal interests and to demonstrate your capabilities as a Geographer. During the course of your dissertation, you will be supported by a peer-led discussion group and a staff supervisor. Lectures and guidance are delivered via this module and peer and staff led Dissertation Support Groups are delivered via GEG332. Participating in Dissertation Support Groups is vital, and is assessed and, in these groups, students will provide constructive criticism to fellow students undertaking related research projects, learning from their research problems and subsequent solutions. This support and supervision is delivered through GEG332, which is a co- requisite.

• GEG332 Dissertation Support: Geography

  This module provides structured, student-led peer-group support and academic staff group supervision for students undertaking the 30-credit 'Dissertation Report: Geography' module. This support and supervision is assessed through the submission of the Dissertation Outline and the Dissertation Support Group Reflection and Attendance Log. Working within a supervised Student Peer Group, students have the opportunity to provide constructive criticism to fellow students undertaking related research projects, learning from their research problems and subsequent solutions. Group sessions are the main support provision as student¿s work through their Dissertation. This module complements the 'Dissertation Report: Geography' module, which is a co-requisite.

• GEGM15 Qualitative Research Methods

  This is a ¿hands on¿ module concerned specifically with how to effectively and reflectively ¿do¿ qualitative methods in the social sciences. It complements and builds on similar modules in quantitative approaches and epistemological and ontological frameworks such as CRM02, CRM03, POM32 and EDM18. After two initial lectures situating the contested and shifting notion of ¿the field¿ and relationships between theory and practice, students will engage in a series of hands-on, practical workshops in specific methods. Workshops will be of 3 hours duration each and will include a theoretical element, a practice element and a reflection element. Following each workshop students will be asked to complete a short, 800-word reflection on the applicability of the research method to their discipline and set of research questions. Students will be encouraged in their reflections to consider both the practical and academic aspects of ¿doing¿ each method. The completed reflective portfolio will be handed in at the end of the course for marking. The methods will vary depending on the staff complement teaching the module from year to year, but are very likely to include: ¿ Ethnographic methods and observation ¿ Archival research, oral history and biographical methods. ¿ Organisational research and interviewing elite actors ¿ Questionnaires, interviews and focus groups ¿ Mobile methods ¿ Participatory action research ¿ Textual and online methods.

• GEGM29 Crisis and Global Change

  'Crisis and Global Change' is a compulsory module for the MSc in Society, Environment and Global Change. One part of this module is designed to provide an advanced introduction to key geographical concepts and frameworks for addressing global crises. This includes asking how we approach and understand 'crisis'? How in particular do we develop critical approaches for understanding and evaluating different crises? And at what scale are different crises addressed, by governments as well as various institutions and organisations? We will address how crises impact people and place unevenly, how crises for some are opportunities for others, what moments of crisis reveal about broader dynamics of power, identity, inequality and violence, and finally how crises also present moments for thinking about change in the world around us. The second part of the module is designed to allow students to explore particular urgent issues and debates in more depth. These will change in any given year, and will draw on staff's research expertise. It will include a focus on topics such as: The Pathologies of Global Cities; Financial and Economic Crises and Resilience; the Global Politics of Nationalism; Migration, Race, Memory and Culture; Imagining Climate Change; and Sustainability and the Politics of Place. These topical lectures will give students an opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of some global crises, and to consider how crises interconnect. The module will conclude by considering questions about how we respond to crises, looking at the role of cities, communities, artists, civil society and social movements in engaging social change. Overall the module is designed so that students develop advanced frameworks for approaching and understanding the geographies of global crises, and for considering how crises interconnect and impact people and place differently. By the end of the module, students will be able to connect theoretical frameworks with discussion of urgent global issues, and feel confident that they have a wide-ranging understanding of how to address debates around crisis and global change.

Mae fy ail faes addysgu yn canolbwyntio ar Ddatblygu ac Anghydraddoldeb. Mae’r addysgu hwn yn cwmpasu gwahanol arferion gwybodaeth sy’n creu lle i ddeall profiadau “mud”, “ymylol” ac “eraill” pobl sy’n agored i niwed yn eu ffyrdd “gwahanol” eu hunain. Mae fy addysgu yn y maes hwn yn cynnwys amrywiaeth o gyfryngau megis ffilmiau byrion, cartwnau, fideos pop, rhaglenni dogfen a pherfformiadau artistig sy’n galluogi’r dosbarth cyfan i gymryd rhan yn y broses o ddysgu rhyngweithiol. Gan gydweithio’n agos ag artistiaid ac ysgolion ym Mangladesh a Chymru, buom yn cyd-ddatblygu deunyddiau addysgu megis y llyfr stori darluniadol i blant i adrodd straeon am dlodi mewn gwahanol ieithoedd (https://bit.ly/3avH1Gy). Rwy’n ymgysylltu â’r cymunedau amrywiol ac yn cymryd addysgu am anghydraddoldebau y tu allan i’r ystafell ddosbarth – gallwch ddysgu mwy am hyn yn y ffilm fer yma: http://bit.ly/PACONDAA_School.

Rwy’n parhau i ddatblygu’r diddordebau addysgu hyn a’u cymhwyso yng nghyd-destun gwahanol wledydd. Gyda chymorth y grantiau gan yr Academi Addysg Uwch a Phrifysgolion Santander, darperais hyfforddiant i fyfyrwyr PhD yn y Moscow State University (Rwsia) a’r Rio Grande University (Brasil). Rwyf wedi dylunio a chyflwyno gweithdy dulliau arloesol ar gyfer yr Ysgol Haf Ieuenctid “Geography in the Modern World”, a drefnwyd gan y Russian Geographical Society (https://bit.ly/RGO_Methods).

Gan adlewyrchu fy niddordebau mewn mudo rhyngwladol, ar hyn o bryd rwy’n arwain tîm Prifysgol Abertawe ar brosiect Horizon 2020 ar Ddadansoddi a Deall canfyddiadau mudwyr o’r UE (https://project.perceptions.eu/). Gan weithio fel rhan o gonsortiwm o 15 o wledydd, rwy’n archwilio ystyron hunaniaeth, naratif a’r defnydd o iaith a’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol i greu cynrychiolaethau penodol o fudwyr, gwledydd “cartref” a gwledydd “cyrchfan”.

Mae fy ngwybodaeth a’m harbenigedd ym maes datblygu a thlodi wedi’u cymhwyso i brosiect rhyngddisgyblaethol diweddar Cronfa Newton, lle bûm yn gweithio gyda gwyddonwyr biolegol, amgylcheddol, cyfrifiadurol, epidemiolegwyr a gwyddonwyr cymdeithasol i fynd i’r afael â thlodi yn India a Bangladesh (https://preventcontrol.org/). Fe wnaethom herio’r mesur egwyddorion a rhesymoldeb amcangyfrifol mewn ymyriadau gwrthdlodi presennol ac archwilio creu yn fyrfyfyr, arbrofi, gobaith ac ailadrodd fel mecanweithiau ar gyfer gwerthuso’n feirniadol ddatblygiad a arweinir gan ddyframaethu. Rydym wedi cynhyrchu allbynnau amrywiol, creadigol a rhyngddisgyblaethol (arddangosfeydd, ffilmiau fel http://bit.ly/CREATENGAGE) o wahanol feysydd ymchwil i ehangu’r cynulleidfaoedd targed a datblygu partneriaethau parhaol sy’n hyrwyddo ymchwil ac arloesi.

Wrth fynd i’r afael â thrydedd elfen bwysig fy ymchwil ar ofal ac amseroldeb, archwiliodd y prosiect diweddar a ariannwyd gan ESRC ar Gymorth Cymdeithasol a Mudo yn yr Alban symudiad gofodol-amserol newidiol pobl o Ddwyrain Ewrop, dadleoliad a pharhad yn eu bodolaeth symudol (https://bit.ly/37Iw2cl). Drwy ddatblygu dealltwriaeth o ofod- amser, defnyddiais Ymchwil Weithredu Gyfranogol i gyd-ddatblygu cwestiynau ymchwil a chefnogi mentrau a arweinir gan fudwyr, megis Caffis Iaith a digwyddiadau Make It Happen (http://bit.ly/MakeItHap). Ail-werthusodd yr astudiaeth hon bellter wrth drafod dewisiadau diwylliannol, tynnodd sylw at arferion affeithiol a rhai sy’n dod i’r fei o “deithio” a heriodd stereoteipiau negyddol o fudwyr fel “rhai nad ydynt yn perthyn”.

Yn ystod fy ngyrfa, rwyf wedi bod yn gweithio’n agos gyda chyrff anllywodraethol a chymunedau difreintiedig (mudwyr, pobl dlawd, Sipsiwn a Theithwyr Roma) i sicrhau bod eu lleisiau’n cael eu clywed. Canolbwyntiodd fy ngwaith ar gynnwys grwpiau a eithriwyd yn flaenorol, grwpiau diaddysg a grwpiau sy’n cael eu hanwybyddu mewn deialog polisi sy’n seiliedig ar ddiwylliant a chyd-destun penodol. Mewn cydweithrediad â’r artistiaid rhyngwladol, rwy’n defnyddio celf weledol a pherfformiad fel arferion creadigol newydd i sefydlu cyfranogiad cymunedol go iawn, ysbrydoli meddwl newydd ac ysgogi partneriaethau.

Yn y prosiect PACONDAA diweddar, gwnaethom gyd-greu a rhannu adnoddau addysgol, darparu hyfforddiant celf a sgiliau, defnyddio atgofion a mynegiannau artistig i gyd-ddylunio mecanweithiau ar gyfer newid, trefnu gŵyl gymunedol a chyd-gynhyrchu paentiadau artistiaid a phlant. Mae canlyniadau’r gwaith cydweithredol hwn wedi’u harddangos mewn arddangosfa barhaol (http://bit.ly/ARTPOVERTY) a dwy arddangosfa dros dro (https://www.thedailystar.net/arts-entertainment/bangladeshi-painters-exhibition-uk-1607374). Gwnaethom helpu pobl ifanc yng Nghymru i ddatblygu “cardiau post tlodi” mewn ymateb i’r lluniadau a gynhyrchwyd gan eu cymheiriaid ym Mangladesh. Cafodd y cardiau post hyn eu rhannu ar draws ysgolion yng Nghymru a’u dychwelyd i’r plant a oedd yn gyfrifol am eu cyd-greu ym Mangladesh i herio stereoteipiau tlodi a chynrychioli gweledigaethau amgen o’r dyfodol (https://www-2018.swansea.ac.uk/press-office/news-archive/2018/childrensettoshareexperiencesofpovertyatspecialworkshop.php).
