SUMMARY:Lecture: "Did Dorothy Day Fail the Black Freedom Movement?"
DESCRIPTION:In his book\, Damned Whiteness: How White Christian Allies Failed the Black Freedom Movement\, David Evans claims that the Black freedom movement is the best framework to understand the impact of white allies. Black freedom fighters inherited a tradition that combined varied economic opportunities\, political philosophies\, and religious beliefs to achieve Black freedom. Dorothy Day’s opposition to racial segregation and anti-Black oppression appeared to support Black freedom efforts\, but her commitment to interracialism and anti-communism misaligned the Catholic Worker movement from the Black freedom movement. \nLecture by David Evans\, PhD\, Eastern Mennonite Seminary\nRespondent: Kevin Ahern\, PhD\, Manhattan University\nModerator: Michael Peppard\, PhD\, Fordham University

SUMMARY:The Fordham Reads Dante 10th Anniversary Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 10th anniversary of Fordham Reads Dante\, an initiative that brings together authors\, scholars\, performers\, and lovers of Dante’s poetry\, demonstrating the continued influence and inspiration Dante plays in their work and lives. \nThe anniversary celebration will feature a reading and performance of Hell Has an Exit\, written by Ron Jenkins\, who has facilitated theater workshops inspired by Dante’s poetry in prisons. \nThe play is fueled by the mutual love and support that enables a mother-daughter drug-dealing team to build new post-prison lives as a preacher and a poet. It is a story of personal and spiritual transformation that is framed by rap poetry\, gospel music\, Bible quotes\, and Dante’s journey from inferno to paradise. Jenkins wrote the script based on interviews with BL Shirelle and Debra Taylor\, conducted during their ongoing exploration of Dante’s Divine Comedy with students at Wesleyan University and Yale Divinity School. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. A reception and celebration of Fordham Reads Dante’s 10th anniversary will follow.

SUMMARY:CJH-Fordham Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Martin Saps\, “From Pious Asceticism to Chauvinistic Nationalism: The Rise of Right-Wing Politics in the Haredi Diaspora”
DESCRIPTION:Since the Enlightenment\, Hasidic Judaism has opposed modern liberal nationalism\, seeing it as antithetical to pious Jewish life. After the Second World War\, as the Hasidic diaspora reconstituted itself in new shtetls like Williamsburg and Stamford Hill\, leaders attempted to separate the community from the societies around them\, with external dealings being approached transactionally. \nSince Donald Trump’s election in 2016\, however\, Hasidic Jews in London and New York have begun to develop a distinct political identity: a unique brand of Heimish Populism squarely aligned with ethnonationalist right-wing movements in the U.S. and Europe. This turn also reshapes attitudes toward Zionism\, as growing numbers of young Haredim express admiration for Jewish power and messianic Religious Zionism. This lecture examines how digital media\, intergenerational change\, a crisis of leadership\, and the populist turn in mainstream politics have transformed the younger generation’s approach towards nation\, state\, and God. \nMartin Francisco Saps is a PhD student at King’s College\, London\, in the geography department. His work explores the intersection of global politics and everyday urban life. Saps’s PhD thesis\, “Our Golden Calf: Haredi Jews and the Decline of Zionism\, Liberalism\, and the Secular World”\, studies how the global politics of nationalism\, secularism\, and multiculturalism are experienced by the Haredi community of Stamford Hill\, London. The project draws on years of ethnographic fieldwork in the area and online\, drawing on Hebrew\, Yiddish\, and English language sources to understand this insular community at a pivotal time.
