NATIONS CALL - Our Place in The First World War

我的研究专业集中在兰皮特的圣大卫三一大学，研究领域是一战研究，特别是“战争记忆”。更具体地说，多年来，我一直在研究威尔士一战纪念活动的各个方面，特别是在西部。根据安吉拉·加夫尼等人在这一领域的开创性工作，我研究了一战纪念活动，以及围绕着在不同社区发展纪念项目的决策过程，这些社区包括兰内利和安曼福德，彭布罗克郡南部的城镇，卡马丁郡和卡特甘郡农村的村庄。我还对西威尔士各地教堂和小教堂的纪念碑进行了研究。1914年至1918年期间及之后，这场聚焦威尔士社会的焦点集中在当地政治、宗教领袖、地主、商界、专业艺术家和工匠以及有组织的劳工，以及普通人、退伍军人和丧亲家庭的观点和行动对纪念过程的影响。

Centred at the University of Trinity St David in Lampeter, my research specialism lies in the field of Great War studies and in particular 'war memory'. More specifically, over a number of years I have studied aspects of Great War commemoration in Wales, concentrating particularly in the west.Following on from pioneering work in this field, by the likes of Angela Gaffney, I looked at the business of Great War memorialisation, and the decision-making process around the development of memorial projects in communities as diverse as Llanelli and Ammanford, the towns of south Pembrokeshire, the villages of rural Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire. I have also conducted research on memorials in both church and chapel establishments from all parts of west Wales. This spotlight on society in Wales during 1914-18 and afterwards focused on local politics, the influence of religious leaders, the landed, business, professional artists and artisans, and organised labour, as well as the impact the views and actions of ordinary people, veterans, and bereaved families had on the commemoration process.
