Dr Ann Parry Owen’s principal field of research is medieval Welsh poetry. She is particularly interested in the poetry, metrics and language of the Poets of the Princes| and the later Gogynfeirdd who sang in the fourteenth century. She is a co-editor of Gwaith Cynddelw Brydydd Mawr i , ii in the 'Poets of the Princes Series', and she has editions of later texts in the 'Poets of the Nobility| Series' of which she is the series editor. In 2007 Dr Parry Owen was awarded an AHRC research grant to establish a new five-year team-based project at the Centre, which commenced in January 2008. This time the team will focus on one major poet, Guto’r Glyn| , preparing a new electronic edition of his poetry as well as exploring the light his poetry sheds on life in fifteenth-century Wales - e.g. its material culture, history, politics, &c. - by means of a website and a printed monograph.

In 2007 Dr Parry Owen was promoted Reader by the University of Wales.
