Rob didn't see the point in going to his GP about it because of all the pressure the NHS is already under with Covid - he thought they had enough on their plate without him adding to it. A week later he was gone." I nonetheless remain engaged with the academic community, and with the department of History at Cardiff University. I contribute a lecture on psychohistory and the history of emotions to undergraduates and have continued to support postgraduate researchers. Roedd Kevin yn ddyn hynod o garedig ac fe ddaeth â nifer o anrhegion i'w ffrindiau wedi ymweliadau ar deithiau recriwtio – mae llawer i banda tegan yn adeilad Aberconwy a thu hwnt. Gan ymdrechu i gadw’r tîm derbyn myfyrwyr mewn hwyliau da yn ystod adegau llawn straen y cyfnodau Cadarnhau a Chlirio, byddai Kevin, yn gynnar yn y bore, yn ffeindio ffordd o lenwi eu swyddfa gyda bocsys a bocsys o felysion – gormod o lawer i'w bwyta ar adegau arferol ond byddai hyn bob amser yn dod â gwên a hwyl i'r tîm hwnnw yr oedd yn ei ystyried fel ei un mwyaf gwerthfawr.

Dywedodd ei gyn-Bennaeth Adran a'i gyd-athro ar fodiwlau hanes economaidd, yr Athro Trevor Boynes: "Roedd drws Kevin ar agor bob amser, a byddwn i'n stopio'n rheolaidd i gael sgwrs gydag e ar fy ffordd i fy swyddfa ar goridor D. Yr hyn y byddaf yn ei golli yw ei hiwmor a'n tynnu coes rheolaidd am y myfyrwyr, y brifysgol, a bywyd yn gyffredinol... Roeddwn i’n gwerthfawrogi dyfnder ei wybodaeth a'i broffesiynoldeb.' Hyd at flynyddoedd olaf ei fywyd yn CARBS, bu Kevin yn ymgymryd â llawer o waith gweinyddol gyda’r tîm derbyn myfyrwyr ac yna'r Dirprwy Bennaeth Addysgu a Dysgu, a hynny gyda gwên. Aeth ati'n dawel gyda'r gwaith angenrheidiol a fu'n sail i'r holl bethau hynny yr ydym ni yn yr Adran a'r Ysgol yn ei gymryd yn ganiataol. For each class, students are provided with reading material and a series of questions on a particular topic to which answers will be prepared in advance for discussion.

Embodied Difference: Monstrosity, Disability, and the

Elizabeth Bearden offers a pointed critique of reading early modern disability through Foucault’s lectures on the abnormal. She writes, “while Foucault’s lectures, published as Abnormal, may seem relevant to this chapter, they are problematic in at least two respects. Though Foucault names monstrosity as a precursor to the norm and, indeed, to his category of the abnormal in the nineteenth century, he makes an arbitrary distinction between monstrosity and disability, on the basis of an incorrect reading of Justinian’s code. The code distinguishes between congenital deformity and accidental deformity, which are not the same as monstrosity and disability. His move takes disability off the table” (46, n. 4). Bearden’s critique of Foucault’s reading both showcases the challenges of careful parsing of terminology—which Foucault occasionally plays fast and loose—and also suggests the very problem of categorization itself and how, even in a critique of categorization, Foucault falls victim to his own analysis. That being said, I find the reading of the monstrous through the juridico-biological domain valuable as a means to show how the normate shifts during the early modern period. Kathleen Long’s chapter in this volume engages categories of natural and normal using a reading of Georges Canguilhem, and offers a valuable counter to readings of the monstrous through Foucault. Rob rarely, if ever, shouted about it - he was the world's worst self-publicist, but that also made him one of the most genuine and humble human beings it’s ever been my pleasure to walk the Earth with.
