Rhanbarth Ymylol? Y gogledd-ddwyrain yn hanes Cymru
/ A Marginalised Region? The north-east in the history of Wales
(bilingual)
By Dr John Davies (delivered at Mold, 2007)
The author's theme is the role that the inhabitants of the north-east
have played in the history of Wales. Far from being an adjunct
of the rest of Wales, he feels that the rest of Wales is in fact
an adjunct of the north-east, with the majority of the significant
events in Welsh history having taken place in this region.

Methiant Prifysgolion Cymru / The Failure of the
Universities of Wales (bilingual)
By Professor Richard Wyn Jones (delivered at Newport, 2004)
Professor Richard Wyn Jones of the University of Wales Aberystwyth
argues that Wales’s universities do not take Wales seriously.
Indeed, the existing higher education system does the people of
Wales a great disservice and in many basic senses fails, with
a failure to promote Welsh medium education, the small amount
of research work carried out on Welsh issues and an inability
to stem the brain drain of talented young people to universities
in England.

responded with literary and artistic flowerings - thereby asserting
their continued national survival.
