SUMMARY:Pro-Life. Pro-Choice. Post-Roe? New Prospects for the Abortion Debate in America
DESCRIPTION:Views on abortion rights in the U.S. have remained almost unchanged\, while the politics of abortion have grown more polarized and partisan. Is there a way forward? Will new events force a change in the debate? While the Supreme Court’s conservative composition could overturn Roe v. Wade\, President-elect Joe Biden\, a Catholic\, is vowing to protect abortion rights. \nJoin us for a panel featuring experts and faith-based voices who bring new perspectives on the legal\, political\, and social dynamics of today’s increasingly intense argument over abortion rights—and the chances of a fundamental change in that debate. \nPanelists \nTricia Bruce is a sociologist of religion and an affiliate of the University of Notre Dame’s Center for the Study of Religion and Society. Last summer\, she published a study titled\, “How Americans Understand Abortion\,” the largest in-depth\, interview study of American attitudes on abortion. \nMary Ziegler\, a professor of law at Florida State University\, is one of the foremost authorities on the legal history of the American abortion debate. Her most recent book\, Abortion and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present (Cambridge University Press\, 2020)\, traces the legal history of the abortion debate from the recognition of a right to choose to “the likely undoing of Roe today.” \nGloria Purvis is a Catholic radio host and popular media commentator. She served on the National Black Catholic Congress’s Leadership Commission on Social Justice and describes herself as “dedicated to promoting the sanctity of human life\, marriage\, and the dignity of the human person.” \nKatelyn Beaty is a former managing editor of Christianity Today\, the flagship evangelical magazine\, and an author and journalist who has written for The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, and The Washington Post. She is an acquisitions editor for Brazos Press and is writing a book about celebrity in the church. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the online audience.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Joseph Calandro Jr. on Jay Gould and the Union Pacific from the Panic of 1873-1880
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the latest event in the Centennial Speaker Series\, featuring Joseph Calandro Jr. \nNo one in the United States’ financial or business history is as misunderstood and underappreciated as Jay Gould. This presentation will assess Gould’s skills as a corporate executive following his distressed investment in\, and subsequent control of\, the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). The UP was in distress due to volatility emanating from the infamous financial panic of 1873. Gould executed his turnaround in an economy devoid of monetary stimulus\, without a government bailout\, and under pressure from the government to pay back the firm’s public loans. Gould employed many modern techniques in his turnaround that are relevant to 21st-century executives. His example also serves as an important historical reminder that successful executives do not require government bailouts. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Joseph Calandro Jr. \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nCalandro Jr. is a managing director of a global consulting firm and a fellow of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis. He is the author of Applied Value Investing (2009) and a contributing editor to the journal Strategy & Leadership\, as well as the author of Creating Strategic Value (Columbia Business School Publishing\, 2020). In the book\, Calandro builds from a historical analysis of traditional value investing concepts to their strategic applications. He surveys value investing’s past\, present\, and future\, drawing on influential texts\, from Graham and Dodd’s time-tested works to more recent studies to reveal potent managerial lessons. Offering expert insight into the use of value investing principles in new fields\, Creating Strategic Value is an important book for corporate strategy and management practitioners at all levels\, as well as for students and researchers. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Getting Past Indecision - Skills to Support Patients' Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:This class focuses on communication skills supporting patients’ decision-making. Instructor Jennifer Halpern\, Ph.D.\, LCSW\, APHSW-C\, will explore how their decision-making may be hindered in the real-life\, stressful settings with insufficient information that often characterize palliative care situations. We will also consider how culture may influence patients’ participation in healthcare decisions. Taking these influences into account will improve our navigation of goals-of-care conversations and family meetings. Knowledgeable application of communication skills may also help patients and physicians avoid conflict and misunderstandings. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 2.5 continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructor\nJennifer Halpern\, Ph.D.\, LMSW\, APHSW-C\, is a senior medical and certified palliative social worker based at the Oncology Support Program (OSP) of the Westchester Medical Center Network/Health Alliance of the Hudson Valley. Halpern supports both inpatients and outpatients. She is the psychosocial coordinator for the hospital’s Cancer Committee and is the chair of the Ethics Committee. Recently\, Halpern has coordinated and directed the study guide for the APHSW certification exam as the Social Work Hospice & Palliative Care Network’s (SWHPN) educational consultant. Halpern received her doctorate in social psychology/organizational behavior from University of California\, Berkeley. As an assistant professor at Cornell University\, she taught both undergraduates and professionals. \nHalpern’s publications focus on communication\, negotiation\, and decision-making. She authored two chapters in—and co-edited—Debating Rationality: Nonrational Aspects of Organizational Decision Making (Frank W. Pierce Memorial Lectureship and Conference Series\, ILR Press). She has volunteered\, been a social work intern for\, and provided business consulting services for Hospicare of Tompkins County. A move to the Hudson Valley led to her current position with the OSP\, a community-oriented program that just celebrated its 25th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Learn Talmud Like an Artist
DESCRIPTION:What does an artist notice that a yeshiva student might not see? Daf Yomi is the study of a page of Talmud a day\, taking seven and half years to complete the cycle. Once only practiced in traditional communities\, it is now popular across the Jewish world. Jacqueline Nicholls’ Draw Yomi\, completed in January\, is a digital project that drew inspiration from the Talmud page and offers a different perspective on the text. \nNicholls is a London-based visual artist and Jewish educator. She uses her art to engage with traditional Jewish ideas in untraditional ways. Her art practice explores handwriting as a form of drawing. She coordinates arts and culture events at JW3 London and regularly teaches at the London School of Jewish Studies. Nicholls’ art has been exhibited in solo shows and significant contemporary Jewish art group shows in the U.K.\, U.S.\, Israel\, and Poland. She has an M.F.A. from Central Saint Martins\, London.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: The Power of Language - Empowering Social Work to Influence Word Choice in Patient-Centered Care
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of communication in health care settings and beyond are decisions related to language and word choice. As palliative care has developed and been integrated across settings and diagnoses\, such phrases and concepts as “quality of life\,” “goals of care\,” and “suffering” are woven across discussions\, often without awareness of the cultural\, social\, and historical contexts of the patient and family we are serving. No matter the setting\, words and phrases significantly impact patient and family experiences\, decisional outcomes\, bereavement\, and legacy. Well-intentioned yet misplaced word choice can foster misinterpretations by patients and create distance when the goal is to enhance connection. Social workers\, as experts and leaders in communication\, can model and educate through their own language when speaking and documenting\, and can invite colleagues to join them in mitigating the unintended consequences of ineffective word choice. \nThe class will be taught by Terry Altilio LCSW\, APHSW-C\, a palliative work consultant\, and Anne Kelemen LICSW\, APHSW-C\, director of Psychosocial-Spiritual Care\, section of Palliative Care\, MedStar Washington Hospital Center. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructors\nTerry Altilio is a palliative social work consultant with more than three decades of direct practice experience in palliative care\, most recently in the Division of Palliative Care at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. She was a recipient of a Mayday Pain and Society Fellowship Award in 2006 and a Social Work Leadership award from the Open Society Institute’s Project on Death in America\, which supported a post-graduate social work fellowship and a social work listserv\, both of which are continuing programs. In 2013\, Altilio was selected to receive the Project on Death in America Career Achievement Award from the Social Work Hospice and Palliative Network. She lectures nationally and internationally on such topics as pain management\, ethics\, palliative care\, and psychosocial issues in palliative care. She also lectures in post-master’s degree programs at NYU and Smith College\, and is a guest faculty member of an internet course through California State University San Marcos. She is co-editor\, with Shirley Otis-Green\, of the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Social Work and\, with Bridget Sumser and Meaghan Leimena\, Palliative Care – A Guide for Health Social Workers. \nAnne Kelemen is the director of psychosocial/spiritual care for the Section of Palliative Care at MedStar Washington Hospital Center\, where she provides patient care\, teaches\, and participates in a variety of research activities. She is also director of the Social Work Fellowship Program\, which she created in 2019. Prior to joining the hospital’s staff\, Kelemen instituted the first palliative care service at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital in Baltimore\, Maryland. An assistant professor of medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center\, her research interests include the intersection between language and medicine and intimacy and chronic illness. Kelemen publishes work on various topics related to palliative care and social work\, and lectures nationally and internationally.

SUMMARY:Teacher\, Scholar\, Ecumenist\, Ambassador: Tamara Grdzelidze
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to present the 13th episode of its webinar series highlighting the scholarly insights and academic careers of female scholars whose research and writing explore some facet of the history\, thought\, or culture of Orthodox Christianity. The broadcast will be livestreamed and open to all who have pre-registered. The event will include some time for live audience questions. For those who miss the live event\, the Center will archive each episode on its website and YouTube channel. \nThis episode features an interview with Tamara Grdzelidze\, Ph.D. Grdzelidze was born into a family of the Soviet intelligentsia (the Soviet equivalent of the middle class)\, practicing Christians who regularly attended church. She entered university with a plan to study classics but soon took an interest in Old Georgian literature. At 25\, she defended a thesis on symbolism in Georgian hagiography. Subsequently\, she held a research position at the Institute of Georgian Literature while teaching Georgian language and literature at school. \nAfter the fall of the Iron Curtain and the rise of the Georgian national movement\, she decided to leave Georgia to assist with a course on Georgian culture at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Maurice Sendak in Queer Jewish Context
DESCRIPTION:The late Jewish American artist Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) changed the face of children’s literature and paved the way for the reconsiderations of monstrosity and otherness that pervade contemporary media\, from Sesame Street to Stranger Things. His emotionally isolated\, unruly\, and ethnically particular protagonists use fantasy to resist social coercion and self-erasure. In Wild Visionary: Maurice Sendak in Queer Jewish Context (Stanford University Press\, 2020)\, Golan Moskowitz investigates the evolution of Sendak’s artistic vision and its appeal for American\, Jewish\, and queer audiences. \nIn the present talk\, Moskowitz and Naomi Seidman will offer a pointed discussion of Wild Visionary\, illuminating how Sendak’s multiple perspectives as a gay\, Holocaust-conscious\, American-born son of Yiddish-speaking Polish immigrants informed his life and work. It will also explore how the artist’s work interacted dynamically with his cultural surroundings\, offering insights into experiences of marginality and emotional resilience that remain relevant and visionary to this day. \nAbout the Speakers \nMoskowitz is an assistant professor of Jewish studies and the Catherine and Henry J. Gaisman Faculty Fellow at Tulane University\, where he teaches courses on Jewish gender and sexuality\, Holocaust studies\, and Jewish comics and graphic novels. He is the author of several publications on intergenerational memory in post-Holocaust family narratives. Moskowitz’s work has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute\, and the Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry. \nNaomi Seidman is the Chancellor Jackman Professor of the Arts in the Department for the Study of Religion and the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies at the University of Toronto\, and a 2016 Guggenheim fellow. Her publications include Faithful Renderings: Jewish—Christian Difference and the Politics of Difference (Chicago\, 2006)\, The Marriage Plot\, Or\, How Jews Fell in Love with Love\, and with Literature (Stanford\, 2016)\, and Sarah Schenirer and the Bais Yaakov Movement: A Revolution in the Name of Tradition (Littman\, 2019)\, which won a National Jewish Book Award in women’s studies. She is presently working on a study of Freud in Hebrew and Yiddish translation.

SUMMARY:Race Issues and Education in America
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic\, the murder of George Floyd\, and the current politically charged climate have shed light on the impact of systemic racism in our society’s structures. Massive uprisings reveal the urgency for centering racial equity in America’s civic life. We want to invite you to the first webinar of the series Racial Equity and Interfaith Cooperation\, which will discuss policies around education\, health care\, and more. \nDuring the civil rights era\, faith-led demonstrations and interfaith leaders came together to advocate against racial segregation and oppression. Today\, access to technology\, textbooks\, and other essential materials needed for teaching and learning still seems to be a constant challenge for most minority families and communities. The Institute on Religion\, Law and Lawyer’s Work at Fordham Law School\, with the support of Interfaith Youth Core\, invite you to a webinar event themed on race issues and education in America.

Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business\, cordially invite you to a virtual reception for alumni\, parents\, students\, and friends. Our program will spotlight the innovative initiative at the Gabelli School\, the Responsible Business Coalition (RBC)\, and the scholars\, students\, and faculty who are leading our work in this critically important area. Explore how we’re forging competitive differentiation and inspiring positive\, global change through business leadership. \nPlease note this event will take place at 6 pm PST and 9 pm EST. \nAgenda\n6 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n6:15 p.m.: Presentation: Responsible Business Coalition\, Dean Rapaccioli \n6:20 p.m.: Fireside Chat: Cara Smyth\, fellow and founder\, RBC; and Frank Zambrelli\, executive director\, RBC \n6:35 p.m.: Presentation: Noor Kaur\, GABELLI\, ’21 \n6:40 p.m.: Audience Q&A: Dean Rapaccioli and Lerzan Aksoy\, associate dean of the Gabelli School \n6:50 p.m.: Networking and Breakout Rooms \n7:05 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Dean Rapaccioli \nAbout the Speakers\nSmyth is a Gabelli fellow and the founder of the Responsible Business Coalition. She also serves as the chair of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors: Fashion Makes Change. Smyth is the global managing director at Accenture for Resilient Responsible Retail/Sustainability. She joined Fordham University and Accenture from her post as the founding director of the Fair Fashion Center and vice president of Glasgow Caledonian New York College (GCNYC). As global lead of Accenture’s Resilient Responsible Retail practice\, Smyth is applying a data-driven environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) lens to build new opportunities that capitalize on the demand for end-to-end responsible business transformation—reducing impact\, optimizing supply chains\, leveraging consumer interest\, utilizing smart technology\, and innovating Accenture’s services in this emerging sector. As COVID-19 exposed business and process vulnerabilities to investors and consumers\, the materiality of ESG is driving it to be the new management approach to future-proof business. \nThe Fair Fashion Center was formed to incubate scalable business solutions that address the social and environmental impacts of fashion and became home to the industry’s only CEO coalition. Focused on transforming business through collective action\, Smyth built a new protocol that leverages the intersection of profitability and sustainability\, helping brands and retailers restructure their processes while identifying operating efficiencies and innovations that turn complex global issues into scalable industry opportunities. Working privately and collectively with 41 CEOs\, the group represented 250 brands and nearly 15% of the global industry. \nNow housed within Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors\, FMC is a triple-impact solution that catalyzes collective action\, builds resilient communities\, and reverses the climate crisis. Recognizing we all have a role to play\, FMC aligns industry\, nonprofits\, investors\, and customers in the transition to a sustainable world. A former global fashion industry veteran\, Smyth held senior executive positions at Jil Sander\, Burberry\, and other venerable companies. In her role bridging the industry\, academia\, and a sustainable future\, she served as a board member for Glasgow Caledonian University and Sing for Hope\, is an RSA fellow\, a Tribeca Disrupter\, and on the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Global Sector Advisory Council. She has delivered keynote presentations at conferences including Textile Exchange\, Bluesign\, Vogue/Condé Nast Greece\, Alcantara/Venice International University Climate HOW\, and Bloomberg Vanity Fair Climate Exchange. \nZambrelli is executive director of the newly formed Responsible Business Coalition (RBC) at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business\, supporting the cross-sector collaboration of industry and education to reduce environmental and social impacts—driving toward a future that considers people\, planet and profit. A design and branding chief executive\, educator\, and sustainability expert\, his extensive professional experience spans fashion\, retail\, and the environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) implications therein. After more than a decade working for world-class brands\, he began the award-winning studio Design Quadrant and\, more recently\, launched the NYC-based\, sustainable luxury brand 1 Atelier. His extension into academia nearly a decade ago was inspired by a desire to better knit the changing demands of industry to curricula. \nHis broad-spectrum experience has followed the pulse of change in the fashion industry\, where his work has been instrumental in the success of companies for more than 15 years\, at a roster including Chanel\, Calvin Klein\, Coach\, and many others. He’s a culture creator—whether shaping start-ups for long-term growth or short-term sale—or leveraging his experience to redirect global brands toward more sustainable and regenerative futures. In his latest venture\, Zambrelli joins his former colleagues from the Fair Fashion Center in the formation of an ESG retail practice within Accenture\, the multinational professional services company\, shaping strategy\, digital technology\, and operations through the lens of sustainability and a more responsible future. \nA regular face in digital\, broadcast\, and print media\, and on panels discussing responsible business and the acceleration of ESG\, his latest work focuses on guiding industries in disruption toward a more data-driven\, equitable\, and regenerative future. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from FIT\, and a Master of Science degree from Glasgow Caledonian.

SUMMARY:Jews and Crime in Medieval Europe
DESCRIPTION:Jews and crime in medieval Europe is a topic laced by prejudice on one hand and apologetics on the other. Beginning in the Middle Ages\, Jews were often portrayed as criminals driven by greed. While these accusations were often unfounded\, at times criminal accusations against Jews were not altogether baseless. Drawing on a variety of legal\, liturgical\, literary\, and archival sources\, Ephraim Shoham-Steiner examines the reasons for the involvement in crime\, the social profile of Jews who performed crimes\, and the ways and mechanisms employed by the legal and communal body to deal with Jewish criminals and with crimes committed by Jews. A society’s attitude toward individuals identified as criminals—by others or themselves—can serve as a window into that society’s mores and provide insight into how transgressors understood themselves and society’s attitudes toward them. \nThis talk will also feature Nicholas Paul\, an associate professor of history at Fordham University\, and Magda Teter\, history professor and the Shvilder Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham. \nAbout the Speakers \nShoham-Steiner is a professor of medieval Jewish history at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Be’ersheva Israel\, where he is the director of the Center for the Study of Conversion and Inter-Religious Encounters (CSOC). He is the author of On the Margins of a Minority: Leprosy\, Madness\, and Disability among the Jews of Medieval Europe (Wayne State University Press\, 2014) and the editor of Intricate Interfaith Networks in the Middle Ages: Quotidian Jewish-Christian Contacts. \nPaul is the author of To Follow in Their Footsteps: The Crusades and Family Memory in the High Middle Ages (Ithaca: Cornell University Press\, 2012)\, and the co-editor of numerous volumes\, including Remembering the Crusades: Myth\, Image\, and Identity (2012)\, The French of Outremer: Communities and Communications in the Crusading Mediterranean (2018)\, Whose Middle Ages? Teachable Moments for an Ill-Used Past (2019). He is currently working on a project that concerns the place of the Crusades within aristocratic performance culture\, which was supported by a Fulbright-University of Birmingham Award in 2019-2020. \nTeter is the author of Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland (2005)\, Sinners on Trial (2011)\, and Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth (2020). Her work has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, YIVO Institute\, and the Yad Ha-Nadiv Foundation. This year she is the NEH Senior Scholar at the Center for Jewish History in New York City. \nThis event is a joint initiative with the New York Public Library and is a part of the Fordham-NYPL Joint Research Fellowship Program in Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Crown and the Courts: Separation of Powers in the Early Jewish Imagination
DESCRIPTION:A scholar of law and religion uncovers a surprising origin story behind the idea of the separation of powers.\nThe separation of powers is a bedrock of modern constitutionalism\, but striking antecedents were developed centuries earlier\, by Jewish scholars and rabbis of antiquity. Attending carefully to their seminal works and the historical milieu\, David Flatto shows how a foundation of democratic rule was contemplated and justified long before liberal democracy was born. \nWe invite you for a conversation with David C. Flatto\, professor of law and of Jewish philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, and a scholar of Jewish law and comparative constitutional law and jurisprudence; Ethan J. Leib\, John D. Calamari Distinguished Professor of Law at Fordham Law School; Michael A. Helfand\, professor of law and vice dean for faculty and research at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law; and Elana Stein Hain\, director of faculty and a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America. \nComplimentary CLE available; CLE credit for the program is pending (or approved) in accordance with the requirements of the New York state and New Jersey CLE Boards for a maximum of 1.0 transitional and non-transitional professional practice credits.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Eve Stenson\, Ph.D.\, FCRH ’04\, Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics\, will present “En Route to Confining Electron-Positron “Pair Plasmas” in the Laboratory. \nIt’s pretty widely known what happens when matter and antimatter get together: They annihilate\, their mass turned into energy. But if the particles in question are electrons and positrons in a strategically chosen regime (i.e.\, temperatures of ~10\,000 K and ultra-low densities of less than a trillionth of the air around us)\, that process can be expected to take quite a while—at least minutes\, if not hours. And in the meantime\, that mix of collectively interacting\, positively and negatively charged particles\, all with identical mass\, form a uniquely symmetric system for investigating fundamental plasma physics. The motivation is to verify and improve our understanding both of terrestrial fusion confinement devices and certain features of our universe\, past and present. Sound like an exciting prospect? All you need is enough antimatter\, somewhere to combine it with matter\, and a few parts in between. In short\, this seminar will be about real-life “antimatter containment fields\,” where to get the antimatter from in the first place\, and some of the neat things you can do with it.
