Mae Dr Lowthian yn Ddarlithydd ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe yn yr Adran Astudiaethau Addysg a Phlentyndod, Ysgol y Gwyddorau Cymdeithasol. Cwblhaodd ei PhD yn DECIPHer, Prifysgol Caerdydd yn 2021, a chyn hynny fe'i cyflogwyd gan Health Data Research UK ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe.

Mae ei diddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys defnyddio dulliau ymchwil meintiol i ateb cwestiynau pwysig ynghylch iechyd a lles plant. Mae ei diddordebau ymchwil presennol yn ymwneud â phrofiadau niweidiol yn ystod plentyndod (ACEs), niwed eilaidd defnydd sylweddau gan rieni, a phlant sy'n agored i niwed (e.e. plant sy'n derbyn gofal). Ymysg y rhain, mae ganddi ddiddordeb mewn cyfraniad rhianta, amgylchedd y teulu, ac anghydraddoldebau economaidd-gymdeithasol fel ffactorau addasu posibl. Mae ei harbenigedd methodolegol ym maes dulliau meintiol, yn benodol modelu hafaliad strwythurol (SEM) a thechnegau uwch eraill (dadansoddi goroesi, effeithiau sefydlog/ar hap). Hefyd, mae ganddi brofiad o ddefnyddio data gweinyddol (labordy diogel SAIL ac UKDA) a data carfan (e.e., ALPSAC, MCS).

Mae ei diddordebau addysgu mewn dulliau ymchwil meintiol yn bennaf, gyda’r nod o ddatblygu sgiliau myfyrwyr yn y maes hwn i'w gymhwyso i'w diddordebau ymchwil eu hunain. Fodd bynnag, mae hi hefyd wedi addysgu anghydraddoldebau iechyd a lles plant i amrywiaeth o ddysgwyr ac mae'n datblygu addysgu ym meysydd adfyd plentyndod. Mae'n Gymrawd yr Academi Addysg Uwch a gall gynnig addysgu ym meysydd dulliau ymchwil meintiol, dulliau ymchwil meintiol uwch, iechyd a lles plant, gan gynnwys adfyd ac anghydraddoldebau. Mae hi'n agored i oruchwylio ôl-raddedigion ac israddedigion yn y meysydd hyn.

Mae hi hefyd yn siaradwr Cymraeg sylfaenol

DEC201 Research methods in Education and Early Childhood Studies

This module will develop students¿ understanding of the purpose and nature of research in education and early childhood settings. Students will be introduced to a variety of research approaches and methods of data generation, including qualitative and quantitative methods and action research. The module will discuss the importance of research informed practice and support students to become familiar with critiquing current research and academic literature and policy in their chosen area of education or childhood. Important issues around ethical consent for engaging in research in educational or early childhood settings will be explored. The structure of the module will include guest lectures by academics who have conducted research in the area of childhood and education studies, in order to provide a thorough insight into various research methods by well-experienced and current researchers. Each lecture will discuss the fit-for-purpose choosing of a specific method for answering specific research questions and will offer a grounding for the start of the dissertation or research project beginning in the subsequent semester.
ED-M18 Quantitative Research Methods

This module provides an introduction to a range of quantitative research methods used in the social sciences. Students will learn about the theoretical underpinnings and pragmatic issues relating to the conduct of primary research and secondary analysis of existing data. They will also gain practical experience of undertaking various research tasks at key stages in the research process. The module offers variety, diversity and depth of understanding while focusing on social science perspectives in the field of health services research.
ED-M19 Research Methods (Education, Play and Childhood Studies)

This module will examine and critically analyse the advantages and limitations of various research methods and methodologies relevant to the social sciences. The module will cover the main aspects of social science research and will guide students through research design, data collection, data analysis and data representation. Students will examine the significance of research for professional practice in childhood or educational settings, and critically evaluate relevant published research studies. The module serves to prepare students for the completion of either literature based or empirical projects.
EDC302 Dissertation

This dissertation module will enable students to pursue an empirical study on a topic of their choice relating to early childhood studies across contexts according to their academic interest or future career aspirations. It will require students to formulate an appropriate research question and to design and execute a research project that will address their chosen question in a coherent and systematic manner. Students will have the flexibility to pursue a research topic related to infants, toddlers, young children, families and communities that might be relevant to their career aspirations across the full range of contexts where knowledge and expertise in early childhood studies is applicable.

EDN312 Vulnerable Children: Adversity, Poverty and Care

This module will cover the research on vulnerable children, including adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), poverty and social service intervention. The term ACEs was coined by Felitti et al. (1998) as a method of understanding traumatic or stressful events experienced in childhood, including, but not limited to, parental conflict, parental alcohol or drug use and childhood emotional, physical or sexual victimisation. However, ACEs is a complex topic as many of these traumatic experiences are disproportionately felt by those in poverty or deprivation. In this module, students will be encouraged to consider how inequalities, namely poverty, can impact children¿s wellbeing particularly within the context of schooling. The module will also explore how involvement in social services, being `in care¿ or `in need¿ can impact on childhood experiences and children¿s educational outcomes (namely, attainment). This module will provide an overview of the challenges some children experience, along with how they intersect (e.g. how children in care often experience poverty and neglect) to bear upon children¿s educational experiences and outcomes. Lastly, the module will reflect on some of the criticisms of the ACE research and policy motives, and consider how we can move forward to improve circumstances and educational outcomes for vulnerable children.
