The Fritz Senn Stipend for Joyce and Irish Studies was established in 2023, in recognition of Fritz Senn's services as a long-time lecturer at the English Department.

From the 1980s to 2023, Fritz Senn, the founder and director of the Zurich James Joyce Foundation, regularly offered courses on James Joyce's Ulysses at the English Department. His Ulysses colloquium has inspired countless students to discover James Joyce's masterpiece.

In recognition of his contribution to Joyce Studies and Zurich literary culture, he has received honorary doctorates from the University of Cologne (1972), the University of Zurich (1988), and University College Dublin (2004). He has also been awarded the Preis der Max Geilinger-Stiftung (1972), the Johann-Jakob-Bodmer-Preis of the City of Zurich (1998), the Goldene Ehrenmedaille of the Kanton of Zurich (2009), and the Zürcher Festspielpreis (2014).

This stipend will ensure that Fritz Senn’s passion for the works of James Joyce and Irish culture will be a lasting legacy at the UZH English Department.
