SUMMARY:Narrowing the Front Door to NYC’s Child Welfare System: COVID-19 Lessons Learned and Charting a Path Forward
DESCRIPTION:In New York City\, the 2020 COVID-19 shutdown forced a temporary but radical reduction in the child welfare system—halving the number of reports\, investigations\, and family separations; reducing surveillance of families in their schools and in their homes; and restricting support of voluntary preventive services. Early indications seem to suggest that this shutdown did not endanger children. Rates of substantiated abuse did not rise and in fact\, may have dipped; rates of substantiated neglect remained unchanged; and children stayed with their families and in their communities. We would like to take a look at this data together and see what solutions emerge.

SUMMARY:The Economy of Communion As Stakeholder Capitalism: Exploring Religion's Evolving Influence on Business—Session 4
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the Business Roundtable redefined the purpose of a corporation to promote “an economy that serves all Americans.” In 2020\, the New York Times endorsed this redefinition of corporate purpose fifty years after Milton Friedman’s editorial and amid protests for recognizing and including all. This year the Fordham University School of Law’s Institute on Religion\, Law\, and Lawyer’s Work and Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding invite you to explore how business can accomplish these humanistic goals. The Economy of Communion (EoC) is an economic model created within the Catholic tradition positing that business exists for the benefit of all people who make up a workplace\, workforce\, and marketplace. Religion has long influenced the norms and practices in which business is conducted\, iconically with the Weberian “work ethic” informing capitalism. This conference will explore the continuing evolution of its relationship with business from a religiously diverse lens over four one-hour sessions each Tuesday in October. There will also be two Thursday sessions for reflection and networking. \nSession IV: The Every Day of Communion \nExploration by and for ERG leaders and chief diversity officers of the application of the EoC in their work. \nSpeakers \n\nDenise Breaux Soignet is the director of the Tyson Center for Faith-Friendly Workplaces and an associate professor of management in the Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas. She earned a Ph.D. in organizational behavior and human resources management from Florida State University and is a certified professional for the Society for Human Resource Management.\nSadaf Parvaiz has more than 20 years of experience in the private sector as an inclusion and diversity industry leader. She works at GHD as the first-ever global enterprise inclusion and diversity leader. Parvaiz is leading the D&I strategy across GHD with more than 200 offices globally. Parvaiz and her team were responsible for ensuring all EY talent and business processes are designed from a D&I lens.\nTeresa Ganzon took over an ailing family rural bank\, Bangko Kabayan\, in the ‘70s and\, together with her husband\, Francis\, turned it around to not only become a viable\, relevant financial institution but a regional private development bank\, today serving the needs of micro\, small and medium enterprises in the Philippine countryside. Their inspiration and guide have been the economy of communion\, which they tried to integrate into current management practices through the past 40 years. Retiring in 2018 from active management\, Ganzon is a current member of the board of directors of Bangko Kabayan and heads the BK Foundation\, which serves as the social arm of Bangko Kabayan today. She is also a co-convenor in the EOC Asia Pacific network.\nWael Metwally has served as the global co-Lead of the Interfaith EBRG since 2018. His passion revolves around supporting employees from diverse religious\, spiritual\, and cultural backgrounds to bring their whole selves to work. Over the years\, Metwally supported the expansion of the interfaith organization within Merck & MSD across the globe\, mentoring many D&I leaders.

SUMMARY:The Economy of Communion As Stakeholder Capitalism: Exploring Religion’s Evolving Influence on Business—Session 3
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the Business Roundtable redefined the purpose of a corporation to promote “an economy that serves all Americans.” In 2020\, the New York Times endorsed this redefinition of corporate purpose fifty years after Milton Friedman’s editorial and amid protests for recognizing and including all. This year the Fordham University School of Law’s Institute on Religion\, Law\, and Lawyer’s Work and Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding invite you to explore how business can accomplish these humanistic goals. The Economy of Communion (EoC) is an economic model created within the Catholic tradition positing that business exists for the benefit of all people who make up a workplace\, workforce\, and marketplace. Religion has long influenced the norms and practices in which business is conducted\, iconically with the Weberian “work ethic” informing capitalism. This conference will explore the continuing evolution of its relationship with business from a religiously diverse lens over four one-hour sessions each Tuesday in October. There will also be two Thursday sessions for reflection and networking. \nSession III: The Nuts and Bolts—EoC Business Operations and Governance \nOn How Such Businesses Function Like Businesses: Making Money and Codifying Social Purpose in Articles of Organization\, Bylaws\, and Other Governance Structures \nSpeakers \n\nKent Greenfield is an internationally recognized scholar of constitutional law and corporate governance and a law professor and Dean’s Distinguished Scholar at Boston College Law School. A graduate of Brown University and the University of Chicago Law School\, Greenfield is the author of three books\, including Corporations Are People Too (And They Should Act Like It) (Yale University Press). He is also the principal author of the two U.S. Supreme Court volumes of Moore’s Federal Practice.\nLawrence Chong serves as the group CEO of Consulus\, a global innovation-by-design firm serving leaders\, companies\, and cities in their transformation to shape a better world. Consulus is an economy of communion enterprise; founded in Singapore in 2004\, it’s now present in 16 cities from the Americas to Asia and Europe. Chong serves as the Distinguished Fellow for Global Economy at the Washington Institute for Business\, Government\, and Society. He teaches a leadership course about holistic leadership at Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He is the co-convenor of the Economy of Communion Asia Pacific. Active in interreligious dialogue\, he was appointed by Pope Francis in 2020 to serve as consultor on the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.\nAndrew Gustafson is a Christian philosopher\, and professor of business ethics and society at the Heider College of Business at Creighton University in Omaha\, Nebraska\, where he has taught undergraduate and graduate courses on business ethics and business and faith since 2005. He has a strong interest in how business can contribute to the common good\, which is demonstrated in his publications on utilitarianism\, CST\, and business\, as well as works on the economy of communion. He learns a lot practically from his work as an entrepreneur\, restoring buildings and renting them out\, with help from local neighbors in need of work and community.\n\nModerator \nGregory E. Louis\, associate professor of Law\, City University of New York

SUMMARY:Race\, Law\, and Social Work: Serving Communities of Color Using Anti-Racist Principles
DESCRIPTION:This conference will explore the issue of race in the fields of social work\, law\, and law enforcement. For years\, communities of color have been plagued with over-surveillance by both police officers and social workers in social services agencies. We will discuss the role of social workers\, lawyers\, and police in providing services to communities of color using an anti-racist lens. \nThe program will answer the question: Is it possible for social workers and police officers to work in partnership with communities to keep residents safe? It will feature the voices of current law\, social work\, and law enforcement professionals\, as well as students who are committed to anti-racist principles\, who want to work toward promoting social justice in their careers. The discussion will focus on the challenges and present solutions for effective community partnerships. \nThe program will feature two panels\, with a transition between panels by Tina Maschi\, Ph.D.\, professor\, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service (GSS). \nPanel One: Moderated by Anne Williams-Isom\, James R. Dumpson Chair in Child Welfare Studies \n\nJennifer Jones Austin\, CEO\, Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies\nBennett Capers\, professor\, Fordham Law School\nDerrick Jackson\, director of community engagement\, Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office\nRenae Lockhart\, sergeant\, Raleigh Police Department\n\nPanel Two: Moderated by Kandra Knowles\, licensed social worker\, Fordham doctoral student  \n\nFelecia Pullen\, doctoral student\, Fordham; founder and CEO\, Pillars\nCelia Goble\, student\, dual M.S.W./J.D.
