Simon Brooks (School of Welsh, Cardiff University)
His current research interests include multiculturalism and race in twentieth century Welsh-language literature. His first monograph O Dan Lygaid y Gestapo: Yr Oleuedigaeth Gymraeg a Theori Lenyddol yng Nghymru (University of Wales Press, 2004) traced the influence of Enlightenment thought on Welsh literary theory. Subsequent articles have looked at the use of the word ‘hil’ (‘race’) in Welsh-language poetry, and critically examined notions that minority language activism is culturally exclusive, and hence ‘racist’. Previously editor of the Welsh-language current affairs magazine, Barn, and co-founding editor of cultural journal, Tu Chwith, his other academic interest is the national movement in 19th century Wales.
Darlithydd yw Dr Simon Brooks yn Ysgol y Gymraeg, Prifysgol Caerdydd. Mae ei ddiddordebau ymchwil cyfredol yn cynnwys amlddiwylliannedd a hil yn llenyddiaeth Gymraeg yr ugeinfed ganrif. Olrheiniodd ei lyfr cyntaf O Dan Lygaid y Gestapo: Yr Oleuedigaeth Gymraeg a Theori Lenyddol yng Nghymru (Gwasg Prifysgol Cymru, 2004) ddylanwad y meddwl goleuedig ar theori lenyddol Gymraeg. Mae erthyglau diweddarach wedi bwrw golwg ar y defnydd o’r gair ‘hil’ mewn barddoniaeth gaeth, ac wedi beirniadu’r syniad fod gwleidydda dros ieithoedd lleiafrifol rywsut yn anghynhwysol, ac felly’n ‘hiliol’. Yn gyn-olygydd y cylchgrawn Barn, ac yn gyd-olygydd sefydlol Tu Chwith, ei ddiddordeb academaidd arall yw’r mudiad cenedlaethol yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg.

Michael Cohen is a doctoral candidate in the Department of English at New York University.
