³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

I am a Lecturer in Social Policy at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Since 2025, I have also contributed teaching for the Criminology programmes. I have published extensively on poverty and welfare, including a co-edited book with Charlotte Williams on social policy in Wales - 'Social Policy for Welfare Practice in Wales' (2021), with a foreword by the Rt Hon Mark Drakeford. My recent journal articles have focused on universal basic income and welfare reform. I completed my doctorate at Keele University and my BA and MA degrees at Swansea University. I am a supervisor for several PhD and MA students. My undergraduate and postgraduate teaching concentrates on poverty, social security, inequality, and housing. I am a regular contributor to BBC Radio Cymru on social policy, particularly the cost-of-living crisis.

• As part of the Campaign for Social Science’s 2026 series on devolution, this webinar, in partnership with the Centre for Public Policy, focused on the cost-of-living crisis. Surveys have consistently identified the cost of living as the most important issue among voters ahead of the elections for the Scottish Parliament and the Senedd. But what can the devolved governments do, within their spheres of constitutional powers, to reduce the costs of living? Do they have sufficient powers? Are the party manifestos offering solutions? Given that cost-of-living is a policy challenge that spans devolved and reserved competence, can the devolved governments and the UK government collaborate more effectively? The panel included Professor Kezia Dugdale FAcSS, Associate Director, Centre for Public Policy, University of Glasgow (chair), Professor Nicola McEwen FAcSS, Director, Centre for Public Policy, University of Glasgow, and Dr Hefin Gwilym, Lecturer in Social Policy, ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ.

• On 26 October 2023, the Academy, in partnership with Cardiff University, co-hosted a panel discussion examining how public policy might do more to uplift the collective well-being of Wales. As part of ESRC’s 2023 Festival of Social Science, the panel, chaired by Professor Chris Taylor (Cardiff University), explored issues around loneliness and isolation, including young people’s mental wellbeing, the impact of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act in Wales, how emerging policies like Universal Basic Income (UBI) might play a role in shifting the dial on wellbeing, and what Wales’ business community are doing to contribute to communities.
