We're delighted to have renowned Joycean Vicki Mahaffey as our first keynote speaker. Vicki will introduce her award-winning new book, The Joyce of Everyday Life (Bucknell UP, 2024). We're equally excited to have another noted Joycean, Katherine O'Callaghan of UMass Amherst, present a second keynote address. Our own Marjorie Howes of Boston College, Patrick Mullen of Northeastern University, Rafael Hernandez of Boston University, and John Lurz of Tufts University will also bring their expertise to us. 

This student-centered conference will include a round table discussion on "How To Teach Ulysses," and features contributions from the graduate students on Northeastern and the Raidn the Wake members and exhibits from Professor Nugent's current Ulysses class. 

A full day of sociability, chat, and information on the great writer is guaranteed, and we'll complete the day with the ever-entertaining Finnegans Wake Public Reading. 

This event is co-sponsored by the ILA & Irish Studies. 

The event is student-centered, but some seats are open to the public. There is currently a waitlist for the event. If you'd like to be added to the waitlist, please email irish.studies@bc.edu
