Mae Shaun yn Gyfarwyddwr Sefydliad Ymchwil Ystadau Cymru ac yn Ddarlithydd mewn Hanes Modern Cynnar a Hanes Cymru ym Mhrifysgol Bangor. Mae Shaun yn wreiddiol o Sir Fflint ac astudiodd Hanes yn Efrog cyn gwneud ei ymchwil ddoethurol ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth ar hunaniaeth linachol teulu ac ystâd y Mostyn yn yr unfed a'r ail ganrif ar bymtheg. Yn dilyn dyfarnu ei PhD gweithiodd fel aelod o Dîm Ymchwil yr Archifau Cenedlaethol.

Diben Sefydliad Ymchwil Ystadau Cymru yw gwella ymgysylltiad cyhoeddus ac academaidd â hanesion, diwylliannau a thirweddau Cymru.

Mae Shaun yn darlithio ac yn dysgu ar nifer o fodiwlau hanes modern cynnar a sgiliau ymchwil yn Ysgol Hanes, y Gyfraith a Gwyddorau Cymdeithas, gan gynnwys:

Israddedig:

HGH-2133/3133: The Tudors: Politics, Society and Religion, 1485-1603

HTW-2127/3127: Wales and Europe in the Renaissance: Image, Language and Identity, c.1450-1630

Meistr:

HPH-4006: Documents and Sources – Medieval and Early Modern

HPS-4015: A (dis)united Kingdom? Early modern perspectives on the makeup of Britain, 1485-1707

Mae Shaun yn hanesydd diwylliant bonedd ac ystadau tirfeddiannol yng Nghymru dros y cyfnod c.1500-1900. Mae ei ymchwil yn canolbwyntio’n bennaf ar hanes cymdeithasol a diwylliannol perchnogaeth tir a’i rhyng-gysylltiadau â materion ehangach yn ymwneud â hunaniaeth, treftadaeth, achau, cysylltiadau cymdeithasol, a gweithrediad grym, statws ac awdurdod yng Nghymru. Mae hyn yn cynnwys diddordeb yn hanes gwleidyddol a diwylliannol Cymru a'i rhan yn creu Prydain ar ôl 1485 a Deddfau Uno 1536-43. Mae’r berthynas tirfeddiannwr-tenant, tirweddau ystadau, hunaniaethau’r bonedd a phlastai Cymru yn ffocysau pwysig yn ei waith. Mae hynny’n ymestyn at gyhoeddiadau ar herodraeth, trysorau teuluol ac arferion coffau, portreadau brodorol, llyfrgelloedd a materoldeb archifau.

Mae dull Shaun o wneud gwaith ymchwil yn gynhenid gydweithredol a rhyngddisgyblaethol. Mae'n mwynhau gweithio gyda phartneriaid mewn treftadaeth ddiwylliannol ar brojectau ymchwil wedi’u seilio ar gasgliadau sy’n cael effaith y tu hwnt i'r byd academaidd, gan gynnwys ym maes dehongli treftadaeth. Mae'n eiriolwr cryf dros fethodolegau hanes cyhoeddus ac ymgysylltu â'r gymuned.  Mae'r elfennau hyn i gyd wedi'u hymgorffori yn strategaeth a dulliau gweithredu ehangach Sefydliad Ymchwil Ystadau Cymru.

Shaun is always pleased to supervise doctoral projects, especially on themes and issues of interest to the work of the Institute for the Study of Welsh Estates (see http://iswe.bangor.ac.uk/our-research).

  • Bodorgan Estate Heritage Route

    The Bodorgan Estate (https://www.bodorgan.com/) located in south-west Anglesey has received a Welsh Government grant to construct a new public footpath through part of the estate, linking to the existing Wales Coast Path. The development of the footpath infrastructure will proceed alongside a programme of habitat restoration. The route will embrace several important landscape features, linked to the social, cultural and economic history of Anglesey. The project is committed to sharing this landscape history with future users of the footpath through the installation of appropriate heritage interpretation along the route. The Bodorgan Estate is collaborating with Bangor University’s Institute for the Study of Welsh Estates (http://iswe.bangor.ac.uk/) to deliver these objectives.

    The Project Team (Shaun Evans, Marc Collinson, and Mari Wiliam) advised and supervised the work of two paid postgraduate interns (Matthew Rowland and Catrin Williams). They undertook archival work at Bodorgan and interviewed members of the local community to provide historical information and oral testimony to aid the creation of heritage interpretation along the path and online. Members of the team intend to produce academic-level publications in due course.

  • BU-IIA Funded Project: Historic Houses for the Twenty First Century: Heritage, Innovation and Sustainability

    Irrespective of the ownership model (and there are many) historic houses are tending to incorporate multiple functions based on visitor attraction and public use: heritage site, tourist destination, events, hotel, restaurant/café, community space, farm shop; in addition to a range of activities and land uses associated with their parks, gardens and other outdoor spaces. Our project is grounded within this context of achieving sustainability for heritage through transformational change, with a particular focus on the sector in Wales. It adopts and seeks to reapply primary themes and findings from Innocastle, an Interreg Europe project which explored the pan-European policy framework for stimulating rural and regional development through historic castles, manors and estates; and HERIT, an Erasmus+ initiative focused on the provision of digital tools for the sector. Our project is designed as a strategic knowledge-exchange initiative to develop practical research-informed answers and guidance on the following core questions: 1) What is the role of the historic house in twenty-first century Wales? 2) How can historic houses innovate to achieve sustainable futures?

    Funding awarded through the Bangor University Innovation and Impact Award (Research Wales Innovation Funding). Value = £9297
