Published International Joyce Scholars!
Below is a link to two papers that were published by Qorpus, a scholarly journal managed by the University of Santa Maria in Brazil. They came out in volume 10, issue 2 and include "A Portrait of the Author as a Young Man: The Reflections of James Joyce Socially and Economically in His Writing" by Jennifer Fuentes and "James Joyce's Aversion to and Use of Written Disclosure Therapy” by Sarah J. Barrett. Both authors were sophomore students at Deltona High School at the time of acceptance. Their participation in the Ulysses Reading Group formed the basis for their individual academic endeavors.

Swimming in the Wake
Students should be encouraged to use Finnegans Wake for research when writing papers on Joyce, despite the difficulty and complexity of the Wakese language. However, this will require some guidance. Use resources such as FinWake, A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake by Joseph Campbell and Henry Morton Robinson, and Roland HcHugh's Annotations to Finnegans Wake to sift through the Wakese clues on Joyce's thoughts, characterizations, and views on various topics.
The above note is an example of one given to a student writing her thesis paper on how Stephen Dedalus's poverty affected his psychology. She was given, at the bottom, directions to further research Joyce's letters (edited by Richard Ellmann) and biography (written by Richard Ellmann) for more information on Joyce's views of psychiatry and, in particular, Dr. Carl Jung. Dr. Jung briefly treated Joyce's daughter, Lucia, for schizophrenia. To help with her research, the above quote from Book III, Chapter 2 of Finnegans Wake was found and written in black every four lines. In red, the attempted interpretation and translation was provided.
This is simply an example of how some help could be provided for students from a novel such as Finnegans Wake when researching Joyce and his works.
