Angharad Price is Professor of Welsh at Bangor University's School of Welsh, appointed Senior Lecturer in 2006 and promoted to Professor in 2014. Her dual career bridges academic scholarship in Welsh literature and award-winning creative writing, with research focusing on Welsh-European literary connections across historical periods.
Her educational background includes:
- DPhil in Celtic Studies, University of Oxford (1995-1998)

Professor Price's research examines Welsh prose, creative writing, comparative literature, Renaissance influences, and translation studies within European contexts. She explores synergies between Welsh literary traditions and broader European movements, particularly modernism and contemporary developments. Her scholarly work frequently addresses cultural identity, language politics, and transnational literary exchange.
Recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate sustained engagement with Wales' European connections through academic monographs like Gororion: Llen Cymru yng Nghyfandir Ewrop and creative works including the novel Nelan a Bo and WWI drama Congrinero. These outputs reveal consistent thematic threads: linguistic identity, historical memory, and Wales' place within continental European discourse.
