The Gregynog Theory School is an annual event for postgraduate research students and early career researchers, as part of the ‘Human Geography’ pathway of the ESRC Welsh Graduate School for the Social Sciences (WGSSS). The event is structured around a set of readings, curated by Human Geographers at Aberystwyth, Cardiff, and Swansea Universities in Wales, and a keynote speaker. The readings are discussed at length by participants at the event. The keynote speaker for this event was Professor Colin McFarlane, Professor of Urban Geography at Durham University in the UK. Mae’r papur hwn yn cyflwyno rhestr ddarllen dan arweiniad ar destunau a ddewiswyd i’w trafod yn Ysgol Theori Gregynog ar ‘Meddwl Gyda Darnau: Atyniad yr hyn sydd wedi Torri, wedi'i Daflu, a'i Ddi-gysylltiad mewn Gofod Trefol,’ a gynhaliwyd yn Neuadd Gregynog, Powys, ar 19 a 20 Mawrth 2024. Mae Ysgol Theori Gregynog yn ddigwyddiad blynyddol ar gyfer myfyrwyr ymchwil ôlraddedig ac ymchwilwyr ar ddechrau eu gyrfa, yn rhan o lwybr ‘Daearyddiaeth Ddynol’ Ysgol Graddedigion Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol Cymru ESRC (YGGCC). Mae’r digwyddiad wedi’i strwythuro ar sail darlleniadau penodol, wedi’u curadu gan Ddaearyddwyr Dynol ym Mhrifysgolion Aberystwyth, Caerdydd, ac Abertawe, yn ogystal â phrif siaradwr. Trafodir y deunydd darllen yn helaeth gan gyfranogwyr y digwyddiad. Y prif siaradwr ar gyfer y digwyddiad hwn oedd Yr Athro Colin McFarlane, Athro mewn Daearyddiaeth Drefol ym Mhrifysgol Durham yn y DU.

Abstract

This paper presents a guided reading list on texts chosen for discussion at the Gregynog Theory School on ‘Thinking With Fragments: The Allure of the Broken, Discarded, and Disjointed in Urban Space,’ held at Gregynog Hall in Powys, Wales, on the 19th and 20th March 2024. The Gregynog Theory School is an annual event for postgraduate research students and early career researchers, as part of the ‘Human Geography’ pathway of the ESRC Welsh Graduate School for the Social Sciences (WGSSS). The event is structured around a set of readings, curated by Human Geographers at Aberystwyth, Cardiff, and Swansea Universities in Wales, and a keynote speaker. The readings are discussed at length by participants at the event. The keynote speaker for this event was Professor Colin McFarlane, Professor of Urban Geography at Durham University in the UK. Mae’r papur hwn yn cyflwyno rhestr ddarllen dan arweiniad ar destunau a ddewiswyd i’w trafod yn Ysgol Theori Gregynog ar ‘Meddwl Gyda Darnau: Atyniad yr hyn sydd wedi Torri, wedi'i Daflu, a'i Ddi-gysylltiad mewn Gofod Trefol,’ a gynhaliwyd yn Neuadd Gregynog, Powys, ar 19 a 20 Mawrth 2024. Mae Ysgol Theori Gregynog yn ddigwyddiad blynyddol ar gyfer myfyrwyr ymchwil ôlraddedig ac ymchwilwyr ar ddechrau eu gyrfa, yn rhan o lwybr ‘Daearyddiaeth Ddynol’ Ysgol Graddedigion Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol Cymru ESRC (YGGCC). Mae’r digwyddiad wedi’i strwythuro ar sail darlleniadau penodol, wedi’u curadu gan Ddaearyddwyr Dynol ym Mhrifysgolion Aberystwyth, Caerdydd, ac Abertawe, yn ogystal â phrif siaradwr. Trafodir y deunydd darllen yn helaeth gan gyfranogwyr y digwyddiad. Y prif siaradwr ar gyfer y digwyddiad hwn oedd Yr Athro Colin McFarlane, Athro mewn Daearyddiaeth Drefol ym Mhrifysgol Durham yn y DU.
