The XXII North American James Joyce Conference, "Joyce in Science and Art", will be held 12-16 June, 2011, at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, CA, with one day at California Institute of Technology, in Pasadena. The Huntington is one of the largest research libraries in the United States. Its holdings include manuscripts such as the Ellesmere Chaucer and Shakespeare's First Folio, as well as a one of the world's largest collections in history of science and technology. The first three days of "Joyce in Science and Art" will take place at various meeting-room locations on campus, which is comprised of 120 acres of botanical gardens as well as extensive gallery space. Our fourth and final meeting day, Bloomsday, will take place on the Caltech campus, where we are hosted by Beckman Institute and Einstein Papers Project. Caltech is one of the foremost centers in the world for science and technology, and is a fitting venue for our last day. "Joyce in Science and Art" immediately follows Irish Aestheticism at UCLA's William Andrews Clark Library in Los Angeles, 10-11 June, 2011 (follow link for separate registration). Both conferences share literary events open to the public that include a poetry evening featuring Paul Muldoon, Sinead Morrissey, Dana Gioia, and Eavan Boland, an evening with Nicholson Baker and others in conversation with David Kipen, and readings by Irish actors.
