Who is this course aimed at?
The course is aimed at anyone who enjoys reading and taking time over something that may be more difficult than the average read
You may have read Ulysses before
You may never have read it but always wanted to
You may have tried it, struggled with it but always had a feeling you should give it a second chance.
Do I have to take part in the zoom discussions?
No, each element of the course stands alone and you can do as much or as little as you like. Some people will only want to read the book, listen to the lectures and explore the supplementary material others will relish the opportunity to discuss it all with others. The point is that you enjoy it and get something from the experience.
Do I have to start on January 12th 2026
You can start any time before the end of January. The only ‘live’ element of the course is the fortnightly zoom discussion group so you would miss any of these that have already taken place. There is no reduction to the course fee if you are not attending the zoom sessions.You can start at any time if you just want to use the videos and any other course materials.
Do I have to pay the whole course fee at the start?
In general yes but as this is a big course there is the option to pay in three instalments if you contact us. Widening participation is part of our ethos so we are always open to a discussion about spreading the payment depending on personal circumstances.
How does the course work?
We will meet online and start in the week starting January 12th, and we’ll reach the final “yes” the week before June 16. And then we will celebrate Bloomsday!
Videos introducing each section will go out weekly.
We will meet weekly on zoom .
There will also be a resources section, with suggested additional reading.
