Irish Studies - Boston College Academic Exchange Seminar

Prof Joe Nugent (Boston College): ‘Pigs, Priests, and People: How the Irish Smelled Civilization’

We are delighted to welcome Prof Joe Nugent, who will give our Boston College academic exchange seminar this year.

Joe Nugent is a professor in the English Department of BC. His interests lie at the confluence of Irish Studies, Joyce Studies, and the Digital Humanities. His technological projects exploit Joyce's texts as windows onto the social and cultural life of fin-de-siecle Dublin. This classroom-laboratory approach has generated products such as the iPhone app, JoyceWays, the e-book Digital Dubliners, and the Dubliners Bookshelf. His digital guide and his 3D immersion experience appeared in Making it Irish, at the McMullen Museum in 2016 and in Boston College Ireland. His articles have appeared in, among other publications, Victorian Studies, The Senses and Society, and Éire-Ireland. His devotion to Joyce is also reflected in Raidin the Wake, his “Finnegans Wake” reading group, and in the Boston Joyce Forum conferences which he runs annually.
