About this event

Join Professor Martin Johnes as he discusses ‘A History of Christmas in Modern Britain’.

This talk will examine some of the ways in which celebrations of Christmas have changed - and often not changed – over the last 200 years. It argues that Christmas is an integral part of British culture and can be used to explore wider ideas of religion, class, gender and nationhood.

Martin Johnes is Professor of History at Swansea University. A historian of modern Wales and of popular culture in modern Britain, he has published widely on subjects including politics, sport, race, national identity, pop music, disasters and local government, including ‘Christmas and the British: A Modern History’ (2016).

His blog can be read at www.martinjohnes.com.

**********

Ymunwch a’r Athro Martin Johnes wrth iddo drafod ‘A History of Christmas in Modern Britain’.

Bydd y sgwrs yma yn ymchwilio i rai o’r ffyrdd y mae dathliadau’r Nadolig wedi newid - neu yn aml heb newid - dros y 200 mlynedd diwethaf. Mae’n dadlau fod y Nadolig yn rhan annatod o ddiwylliant Prydeinig a bod modd ei ddefnyddio i ymchwilio i syniadau ehangach o grefydd, dosbarth, rhyw a chenedligrwydd.

Mae Martin Johnes yn Athro yn yr Adran Hanes ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Fel hanesydd Cymru fodern a diwylliant poblogaidd ym Mhrydain fodern, mae wedi cyhoeddi’n eang ar bynciau megis gwleidyddiaeth, chwaraeon, hil, hunaniaeth genedlaethol, cerddoriaeth bop, trychinebau a llywodraeth leol, gan gynnwys ‘Christmas and the British: A Modern History’ (2016).
