'I was extremely fortunate to receive funding from the James Pantyfedwen Foundation for the duration of my doctorate. Their generous donation enabled me to fulfil my dream of postgraduate education and to pursue my scholarship into Welsh and Basque national identity to its fullest potential, generating peer-reviewed articles and a forthcoming monograph. Since completing my studies, I have qualified as a languages teacher and now work in the Civil Service, where I continue to benefit from the research skills gained through my doctoral investigation. I am extremely grateful to the Foundation for their support,without which I would have struggled to fund my PhD.'
