Bloomsday Celebration: Readings from James Joyce’s Ulysses

Celebrate Bloomsday online with readings from James Joyce’s Ulysses by Berkeley faculty and members of the Irish and Irish-American community in Dublin, Los Angeles, Seattle, and the Bay Area.

Her book James Joyce and the Matter of Paris recently appeared with Cambridge University Press (2019). She is currently at work on an edited volume with CUP titled New Joyce Studies: Twenty-First Century Critical Revisions and on an edition of Ulysses for its centenary in 2022.
