Carys Lewis

Carys Lewis serves as a Lecturer in English Studies at the University of Brest, France, within the Heritage and Creation in Text and Image (HCTI) research group (EA 4249). She teaches undergraduate Applied Foreign Languages (LEA) courses in British civilization and graduate programs in International Project Management (Applied Project Management in English, Professional Translation) and Celtic Languages in Contact (Welsh Literature, Welsh Language Introduction).

Her academic credentials include:

• English aggregation (1994)
• Doctoral thesis (2009): "The place of People of the Black Mountains in the work of Raymond Williams: between historical-geographical metafiction and Welsh postcolonial narrative"

Specializing in British Studies, Cultural Studies, and Welsh cultural area, Dr. Lewis employs discourse analysis to investigate nationalism, devolution, and social class identities. Her research examines post-Brexit narratives in literature, social media's role in Welsh independence movements, and electoral dynamics in Wales, with particular focus on Raymond Williams' theoretical legacy and working-class representation.

Her scholarly output demonstrates consistent interdisciplinary analysis of UK political and cultural identity through literary and media lenses. Recent publications explore Brexit's impact on working-class communities in contemporary fiction, digital activism for Welsh sovereignty, and Plaid Cymru's electoral strategies, contributing significantly to British and Celtic studies through methodological synthesis of political science, literary criticism, and media theory.

As an active member of the HCTI research group, she participates in interdisciplinary projects examining cultural heritage and creative expression through textual and visual media frameworks.
