SPEAKERS

Christine James

Christine James has lived in Cardiff for nearly forty years, but her roots are deep in the industrial Rhondda valley. She was Professor and Head of the Department of Welsh at Swansea University, where she lectured mainly on medieval Welsh literature. Christine was the first female Archdruid of Wales and is also the first woman to become Recorder of the Gorsedd. Her fascination with the language, history and traditions of Wales, along with her family and personal Christian faith, are the most prominent threads that weave through her second collection of poetry, rhwng dau feddwl (2024).
