Lucy's current research explores critical approaches to citizenship. She works with decolonial and settler colonial theory, applying these insights to lived experiences in Welsh Patagonia, Argentina and Wales. Her archive-based research asks critical questions of the mythologies that surround the Welsh in Patagonia to explore theoretical insights. These include: the colonial tensions of settler-indigenous ‘friendship’ Welsh Patagonia in global perspective; moral capital, righteousness and political power. She is now exploring the impact of narratives about Welsh Patagonia on Welsh society today in order to add Y Wladfa into discussions on decolonization and anti-racism to current Welsh policy. Her book on settler colonialism and Y Wladfa will be published by Wales University Press in September 2024.
