Principal Lecturer - Electronic Engineering and Department Lead for UK & International Collaborative Partnerships External Expert, Periodic Review of Undergraduate Programmes, Department of History, University of Essex, 2013. To challenge the essentialist assumption found in many studies that women's gender placed them at a monolithic disadvantage: much relevant historical research is narrowly focused and draws inappropriate comparisons over time, place, and jurisdiction. Here, attention is paid to the potential differences of jurisdiction and region, and to the significance of language, ethnicity, and other affiliations and identities of individuals and groups. With the creation of new administrative academic roles in CARBS, Kevin applied and was appointed to one of the most important of these new positions: that of Director of Recruitment for both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. He did this hugely complex job whilst still teaching a number of modules. Kevin spent an inordinate amount of time on admissions duties for the Business School (and beyond). Some of his work involved travelling to China and East Africa to meet admissions agents and university officials. For someone who was a vegan, these international trips could prove challenging. But Kevin took it all in his stride.He developed a strong working relationship with the admissions team at CARBS and the wider University – these colleagues enjoyed his sense of humour and found his honesty (and at times bluntness) refreshing. Kevin was also a great support to and worked closely with, the other admissions tutors in CARBS, especially DrLouise Macniven. The work that the likes of Kevin and Louise have done on admissions is vital but can go unappreciated and overlooked by the wider faculty. But Kevin and his colleagues, like Louise, have proved to be real unsung heroes of the School. His achievements as a teacher and senior academic administrator did not go unnoticed and Kevin was awarded with a promotion to the position of Senior Lecturer.Yn aml, gellid dod o hyd i Kevin gyda'i ffrind agosaf, Dr Mike Marinetto, a fyddai'n aml yn galw heibio; afraid dweud bod proffesiynoldeb a dyletswyddau o ran gwaith yn bresennol bob amser – ond roedd digonedd o chwerthin ac roedd egni arbennig ar goridor y trydydd llawr pan roedd y ddau gyda’i gilydd. Roedd gan Kev feddwl mawr o Mike ac roedd Mike yn teimlo’r un fath heb os; rhaid yw coffáu eu gwir gyfeillgarwch a'u teyrngarwch i'w gilydd yma. Pan oedd yn astudio ar gyfer ei PhD, cafodd Kevin ei swydd academaidd gyntaf yn ymchwilydd ym Mhrifysgol Morgannwg. Dangosodd yma rinweddau a fu’n amlwg drwy gydol ei yrfa academaidd: ymroddiad gwirioneddol i’w waith a gallu i ymdrin â gofynion a llwythi gwaith amrywiol. Erbyn y mileniwm newydd, roedd Kevin yn edrych tua’i gyn-Brifysgol am swyddi newydd, a chafodd ei benodi'n Gynorthwy-ydd Addysgu yn Ysgol Busnes Caerdydd (CARBS) yn yr Adran Economeg. Ei rôl yma oedd helpu’r Athro Derek Matthews a oedd yn dysgu’r modiwl Hanes Economaidd sy'n parhau i fod yn orfodol ar y rhaglenni economeg heddiw.Yn ystod yr amser y bu’n Gynorthwy-ydd Addysgu, cwblhaodd Kevin ei astudiaethau doethurol yn yr Ysgol Hanes a dyfarnwyd ei PhD iddo – camp fawr o ystyried gofynion gofalu am deulu ifanc a’r dyletswyddau addysgu newydd.

One of the things that marked out Kevin as a colleague is that he was always present in the Aberconway building – where he enjoyed working, drinking coffee (a story in itself), and headphones on. If Aberconway was open – he would be found in his room D06 on the third floor, door open and welcoming to all. Being a popular individual Kevin had many visitors – many of them his students; he held the role of Personal Tutor to over 100 Joint Honours students – an astounding feat in itself. Kevin was popular with staff too and thrived on the varied conversations they would bring him. These were more than colleagues; they were his friends and his ‘family’. Examining changes over five centuries, it charts how disability was delineated from other forms of deformity and disfigurement by a clearer medical perspective. Essays shed light on the experiences of oppressed minorities often hidden from mainstream history, but also demonstrate the importance of discourses of disability and deformity as key cultural signifiers which disclose broader systems of power and authority, citizenship and exclusion. Roedd Kevin yn siarad yn ddi-flewyn ar dafod; gallai ymddangos yn llym pan oedd angen iddo fod (a hynny gyda ffyrdd unigryw ond doniol o fynegi ei hun, yn aml), ond cuddwisg oedd hyn mewn gwirionedd, oherwydd yn y bôn roedd yn ddyn eithaf swil oedd yn llawn hwyl ac yn hynod o chwareus. Roedd ei natur chwareus yn dod i'r amlwg pan fyddai'n chwarae 'triciau' ar ei gydweithwyr – mae llawer gormod i'w henwi yma – mae llyfr ar Iwgoslafia a bwlb golau coll yn ddechrau ar restr hir. Digon yw dweud bod gwên ddireidus Kevin bob amser yn datgelu fod ganddo rywbeth ar y gweill, ac yn wir, roedd wrth ei fodd yn meddwl am y talu nôl chwareus a fyddai'n dilyn yn anochel.

My last conversation with Kevin was like all the others. He was chipper, interested and intelligent. I told him 'you're one of those people that I learn something from every time I talk to you'. This wasn't just true of his specialist subject but also politics, music, art, and, well, pretty much everything. As was often the case, I'd ask what he was reading or listening to, and (unlike my own reports), he'd give a concise, insightful critique in two or three minutes. 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.
