Hello, all.
I'm very sorry to tell you that, in light of today's events, the April 20th "Joyce and Digital Humanities" conference is cancelled. I'd like to thank our speakers and entertainers, my colleagues, and the organizers here at BC who've put so much preparation into this. It's also a disappointment to my students. And, I'm sure to you.
I'm already speaking to the participants with a view to finding another opportunity to hear them.
Very best,
Joe

Now assistant editor and drama critic for The Irish Times, he was drama critic for the New York Daily News from 1997 to 2001. O'Toole's is one of the most engaging voices to be heard in Ireland.
