The initial plan was to put my head down and use the Foundation\u2019s resources to finish one of my dissertation chapters. However, because I was surrounded by these materials and guided through them by supportive curators, I also began work on an entirely different and unplanned project alongside my primary work, resulting in an article I could not have written elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the Foundation\u2019s presence in the heart of Zurich, the city and its environs became integral parts of the fellowship experience. I was encouraged to participate in the Foundation\u2019s various events, including reading groups, workshops, and field trips across the Z\u00fcrichsee. Meeting the trustees and local community members introduced me to the many diverse shades of Joyceans outside of my own academic circles. Both my research and my understanding of Joyce\u2019s world are all the better for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Milledgeville, GA, September 2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"769\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Goyal_Shantam-769x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5443\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7509765011835597;width:396px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Goyal_Shantam-769x1024.jpeg 769w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Goyal_Shantam-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Goyal_Shantam-768x1022.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Goyal_Shantam-1154x1536.jpeg 1154w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Goyal_Shantam-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/joycefoundation.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Goyal_Shantam.jpeg 1232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 769px) 100vw, 769px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shantam Goyal, Assistant Professor, Georgia College<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recipient of the Friends of the Zurich James Joyce Foundation Scholarship in 2024 My summer at the Zurich James Joyce Foundation in 2024 was not only an exceedingly productive research excursion for me near the final stages of my PhD; it was also a capstone for my decade-long enthusiasm for Joyce\u2019s writing.
