The James Joyce Society will hold a remote roundtable and open forum on the subject of "Making Joyce Studies Safe for All." Friday, September 15th, 12 noon-2pm Eastern US time (1700hr in Dublin, 9am in Los Angeles, etc. etc.). We planned this event in response to ongoing problems of sexual harassment plaguing Joyce studies. These problems were strongly articulated in the “Open Letter to the James Joyce Community” and have persisted since the letter’s 2018 publication.

Participants will include Katherine Ebury, Zoë Henry, Casey Lawrence, and Sam Slote, with JJS ombudsperson Celia Marshik moderating.

All are invited to attend and discuss the Joyce scholarly community's longtime and ongoing insufficient attention to the safety of women and emerging scholars, and to propose solutions. Other forms of harassment and marginalization may also emerge in the session.
