The ZJJF offers shorter courses (e.g. 2-hour inputs) as well as half- or full-day formats. We love welcoming groups of teachers at Augustinergasse 9 in Zurich but are also happy to offer our further education courses at the school in question.
The four examples below are intended to illustrate the range of topics we can offer:
- James Joyce: From Life and Works to Contexts and Impact
- Not Too Difficult: Poems, Prose, and a Play
- Literary and Other Adaptations: From Comics to Short Films and Songs
- Biofiction & Biodrama: Re-Imagining the Lives of the Joyces
- Modernism in the Classroom: Texts, History, and Themes
- Modernism, War, and Exile: From James Joyce to Gertrude Stein
- The Harlem Renaissance and ‘Black Modernism’
- Modernist Forms: Fragments and Multimedial Experiments
- Teaching Short Story Cycles
- ‘Composite Novels’: A Genre and Its Features
- A Short Literary History: Medieval Precursors and Modern Contexts
- Key Texts: From James Joyce’s Dubliners to the Present
- Irish Literature: Teachable Texts and Historical Contexts
- Irish Stage and Radio Plays: From Oscar Wilde to Marina Carr
- Irish Modernism: W. B. Yeats, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett
- Irish Short Stories: The Troubles, Queer History, and Refugees
Upon request, we can adjust the content of these courses or propose additional topics. It is also possible to combine a further education course with a student workshop and/or guided tour.
