🇺🇸 📚 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 📜 Just got my copy of the most recent issue of the North American Journal of Celtic Studies, which includes my article on Welsh books in the Huntington Library, L.A. Available to read (with sub) here muse.jhu.edu/pub/30/artic... Diolch i’r golygyddion a’r darllenwyr am y cyngor a’r cymorth!

Newyddion swydd... I'm delighted to be doing a short stint at UCL's Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment as Senior Research Fellow in Soundscape Attributes Translation More here: 🔗 www.linkedin.com/pulse/newydd... 👀 NB I'm still on the hunt for more permanent work from September 2025!

Dau beth hwyl dros y penwythnos... 1. Diolch i Gymdeithas Prynhawn Sadwrn Eglwys Gymraeg Canol Llundain am fy nghroesawu, ac am roi'r cyfle imi arbrofi gyda'r pastwn a'r delyn (diolch Manon Browning!) wrth draethu ar adloniant yng Nghymru'r Oesoedd Canol...

That's literally everyone I know who works at Cardiff: all good people, excellent teachers and researchers, friends, colleagues, people whose work has informed my own. And for Welsh as a discipline, that's a substantial proportion of the scholarly community on the planet. Absolutely catastrophic.

Siarad yn hwn fis Ebrill! Rhaglen arbennig!

Mae fy amser yn @ysgolygymraegpc.bsky.social wedi dod i ben. Er bod cwmwl ansicrwydd dros y sefydliad ar hyn o bryd, dwi wedi mwynhau bob munud: o'r darlithio i'r ymchwilio. Dysgais lawer o'm cydweithwyr a dwi'n ddiolchgar tu hwnt amdanynt bob un. Hwyl am y tro 🧙‍♂️

Diddorol gweld defnydd o’r T a’r G ynysig, h.y. o lawysgrifen ganoloesol Iwerddon (a Phrydain), ym marchnata gŵyl Other Voices! O*t*her Cardi*g*an
