SUMMARY:Fall 2026 McGinley Chair Lecture: “Morality and U.S. Foreign Policy”
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Thomas Massaro\, SJ\, Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society \nRespondent: Sarah Lockhart\, PhD\, professor of political science \nDisagreements regarding the proper orientation of United States foreign policy have been endemic throughout American history. A succession of official and unofficial “doctrines” has displayed a mix of principles (such as the extension of democracy and the protection of human rights across the globe) and political realism as primary motivations for the engagement of the United States with international affairs. Father Massaro will assess the practice of U.S. foreign policy in light of the principles of international order recommended in Catholic social teaching. In her response\, political scientist Sarah Lockhart\, PhD\, will comment further on both the achievements and lacunae within U.S. foreign policy at various points in our national history. \nAll students\, faculty and staff of Fordham University are invited to attend\, as are members of the wider New York community.

SUMMARY:Family Promise\, Family Law: Three Stories in the History of Jewish Vows
DESCRIPTION:Neder dates at least to early biblical times\, and vows remains a part of Jewish and other traditions to this day\, even as Jewish votive law has evolved. One motivation for this talk is an observation that many historical examples of neder involve family relationships\, especially between parent and child. \nThis talk looks at three story/law moments—biblical law and narrative\, a late-antiquity story of the law\, and a 21st-century work of narrative fiction—and asks: how might we think about the meaning of this connection between parent-child relationship and neder? How might we think about law and story with and against each other\, and over time? \nMiryam Segal\, PhD\, is associate professor at Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center\, where she teaches legal history\, law and literature\, Jewish studies and comparative literature. She is author of A New Sound in Hebrew Poetry: Poetics\, Politics\, Accent\, co-editor of Vixens Disturbing Vineyards\, editor of Jewish Law and the Family\, Anatomies of Home and Disruption\, as well as founding editor of the JLA Review. She is chair of the Jewish Law Association. In 2022-2023\, she was Gruss Visiting Professor of Talmudic Law at Harvard Law School. She earned her PhD in comparative literature at Berkeley\, and an MSL at Yale Law School.

SUMMARY:Department of Physics and Applied Physics Guest Lecture: "Turbulence—the Last Frontier of Classical Physics"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture delivered by Prasad Subramanian\, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research\, Pune\, India \nAbstract:\nWhen someone sprays perfume at one end of a room and we smell it within seconds\, we are experiencing turbulence in action. Or when we experience atmospheric turbulence during a flight! Turns our turbulence in fluid flows is the norm rather than the exception. This phenomenon has fascinated thinkers dating back to Leonardo da Vinci. We will outline basic elements of our current understanding of turbulence in fluids. We will then proceed to illustrate some manifestations of turbulence in space physics and discuss how much remains to be learnt. \nAbout Prasad Subramanian:\nAs a professor of physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research\, Pune\, India\, Prasad Subramanian works on plasma astrophysics and space weather using a mix of data analysis and theoretical modeling. He is interested in the terrestrial effects of Earth-directed solar coronal mass ejections. Examples include geomagnetic storms\, enhanced drag on Earth orbiting satellites and a host of other effects.

SUMMARY:Work Wisdom for an AI Age: Papal and Feminist Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 22nd Annual Rita Cassella Jones Lecture on Women and U.S. Catholicism\, “Work Wisdom for an AI Age: Papal and Feminist Perspectives.” \nToday’s rapidly advancing digital technologies\, and the speed with which powerful forms of artificial intelligence are permeating multiple spheres of life\, raise a dizzying array of philosophical\, ethical\, and spiritual concerns. Two rich wells of wisdom can help us better frame\, evaluate\, and respond to these questions and challenges: the modern Catholic social tradition represented by Pope Leo XIV’s 2026 encyclical\, Magnifica Humanitas\, and feminist ethics and economics. These have much to offer those of us seeking to navigate the formidable technological and social currents and cross-currents that buffet us today.

The book argues that modern Jewish fiction emerged as a way to imagine new political possibilities and navigate a rapidly changing legal landscape. It places Jewish authors alongside state officials\, censors\, nobles\, Hasidic leaders\, and spies\, all of whom participated in different ways in producing “the fiction of the state”: bureaucratic prose about Jews for the state\, literary fiction about the state for Jews\, or literature that sought to expose the state as fiction. Together\, Wolff and Dynes will discuss the transformation of Eastern Europe during the age of revolutions\, and reflect on how it shaped the relationship between politics and fiction and prompted the rise of Modern Jewish literature. \nOfer Dynes is the Leonard Kaye Assistant Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Columbia University. His research has been supported by the Posen Society of Fellows\, the Center for Jewish History\, the Leibniz Institute for Jewish History and Culture – Simon Dubnow\, the Austrian Science Fund\, and YIVO\, among other institutions.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Key findings of CHH-Lancet Commission on Health\, Conflict and Displacement
DESCRIPTION:Chi-Chi Undie\, a senior associate and technical director within the Population Council’s International Programs Division and the Regional Representative of the organization’s office in Kenya\, will present key findings and conclusions of the CHH-Lancet Commission on Health\, Conflict and Displacement’s recent report. \nThe CHH-Lancet Commission on Health\, Conflict\, and Forced Displacement is a collaboration between the Johns Hopkins Center for Humanitarian Health and The Lancet\, launched in early 2024. Its primary goal is to tackle the rising mortality and health challenges associated with conflict and forced displacement worldwide\, while proposing systemic reforms to the humanitarian system to make it more effective\, accountable\, and inclusive. The Commission recently published a landmark report calling for an urgent transformation of the global humanitarian system. The report rethinks and reimagines the strategies\, governance\, and delivery modes of humanitarian aid by proposing systemic changes and bold recommendations that influence global humanitarian and health agendas\, and encourage collective action. The Commission strives to challenge existing power structures in humanitarian health and beyond\, and to amplify the voices of underrepresented populations in decision-making processes. \nGuests will engage with and learn how to radically rethink policy\, funding\, and practical approaches to our response to conflict\, forced displacement\, and\, more broadly\, humanitarian crises.

SUMMARY:Student Seminar at the Department of Physics & Applied Physics
DESCRIPTION:Lecture delivered by Adam Abdel-Razek\, FCRH 2028\, will discuss “Aerosol Collection-Module Design & Integration.” \nAbstract\nThis project aims to expand the capabilities of low-cost air quality monitoring networks by enabling compositional analysis of aerosols detected by PurpleAir sensors. While PurpleAir (PA-II) sensors can measure particulate size and concentration\, they cannot identify particle composition\, limiting their ability to determine pollution sources. This research focuses on designing and constructing a compact particle-capture attachment that collects aerosols from the sensor’s exhaust onto a rotating glass disk. Collected particles will be analyzed using spectroscopy and digital holography to determine aerosol composition. After lab testing\, the system will be deployed on mobile sensor platforms across the Bronx and greater NYC to map aerosol composition and relate pollution sources to environmental and socioeconomic factors. By integrating compositional analysis with existing monitoring networks\, this project will support efforts to reduce harmful exposures in vulnerable communities. \nLecture delivered by Stella Black\, FCRH 2028\, will discuss “Rate-Dependent Adhesion of Polymer Stamps for Transfer Printing onto Plant Leaves.” \nAbstract\nTransfer printing enables the integration of flexible electronics\, such as sensors for precision agriculture\, onto unconventional substrates\, including plant leaves. Successful pickup and printing require precise control of interfacial adhesion. Soft elastomeric stamps form conformal contact with devices and substrates\, where adhesion is primarily governed by van der Waals interactions. The viscoelastic properties of the polymers allow their adhesion to be tuned by varying the separation rate during pickup and release. This work investigates the rate-dependent adhesive behavior of polyurethane and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using microtribometer testing to better understand their performance as transfer printing stamps. By characterizing how adhesion varies with unloading rate\, this research provides insight into the design of polymer stamps for reliable transfer printing of flexible sensors onto delicate plant leaves for precision agriculture.
