"All in all, it was an incredible learning experience that allowed me to understand Joyce better, and in turn, enjoy his work more thoroughly. Trieste and the Joyce School added depth to my understanding of Joyce and motivated me to continue in my research. I am especially happy and grateful to have been part of this wonderful experience because it allowed me to meet other Joyceans and join the family. The whole event was a great big celebration of diversity and equality, and also a platform for people from different parts of the world to connect and learn about one another while having fun. All I can say is that I hope to bring back what I have learned, to cultivate the friendships and contacts I have made, and to one day go back as a lecturer!"Dominic Richards, student at the 2017 school
"I get asked about this a lot and couldn't be happier to see them extend their outreach. John and Laura have built up something really amazing over the last two decades or so. No better place to be in the summer if you're all about Joyce, all about what he was about, and want to be having the best time around people who think the same."Arunava Banerjee, student at the 2018 school

As part of the University of Trieste and the Department of the Humanities, the Trieste Joyce School is governed by the University's rules and structures. The School is therefore bound to ensure that the University's Ethical Code, which was approved on 25 July 2011, and which sets out clear rules to govern against discrimination, power abuse, sexual harassment, nepotism, and corruption, be fully respected.
More specifically, Art. 8 of the Ethical Code defines and regulates issues concerning sexual harassment. A translation of Article 8 reads as follows:
Art. 8 - Harassment of a sexual nature
Sexual harassment is defined as any unwanted behaviour with a sexual connotation, or any other type of discrimination based on gender, which offends the dignity of men and women in the study and work environment, including physical behaviour or verbal expressions.
The University deplores harassment of a sexual nature and provides victims with prompt protection, free from prejudice.
If you become aware of any incidents of harassment, it is a moral obligation to report them (to the University authorities). The University is under obligation to offer protection in all cases including those involving job applications.
Any form of retaliation against a person who denounces the aforementioned behaviour is also considered harassment.
If there is a gap in terms of seniority between those who harass and the victim this is considered an aggravating factor.
Sexual harassment on the part of lecturers towards students is treated as a particularly serious violation.
