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.

SUMMARY:Multiple-Identity Politics: The Passing Narratives of Dahn Ben-Amotz
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Salo Baron New Voices in Jewish Studies Award Lecture in partnership with Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies. The lecture will feature Roy Holler\, an assistant professor of Israel Studies in the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Florida\, and Gibel Mevorach\, a professor of anthropology and American studies at Grinnell College. \nIn 1938\, Mussia Thilimzogger’s parents put their 13-year-old son on a boat from Poland to Palestine. Three years later\, they perished in the Holocaust. Alone\, rejected\, and failing to fit in\, the young Jewish Polish immigrant adopted a new biography\, changed his birthplace from Rivne to Tel-Aviv\, and Hebracized his foreign-sounding name into Dahn Ben-Amotz (1924-1989). Ben-Amotz was one of many immigrants forced to change their identities and conform to the Zionist vision of the Hebrew: heroic and rough idealist\, with a shared hatred of the Jewish diaspora. With his new persona\, Ben-Amotz became a cultural icon for generations. But this author who shaped Israeli culture was haunted by little Mussia to his very last day\, and the central trauma in his 1968 autobiographical novel\, Lizkor veliskoakh (To Remember\, to Forget)\, was not the Holocaust\, but his own act of passing. \nFor the purposes of this talk\, passing describes the turning away from the Jewish past to belong to a new Hebrew identity in Israel. Focusing on the integrationist demands of the Zionist narrative and the transformations of Jewish identities\, this talk will introduce the concept of passing to Ben-Amotz’s novel\, arguing that the resettlement of the Jewish diaspora in Palestine did more than move physical bodies in and out of the land: It also called for the erasure and restructuring of one’s identity in an effort to create a new Israeli culture and an improved Jewish race. Ben-Amotz’s fiction is obsessed with lost identities\, showing that when a Jew wished to pass as a Hebrew\, all prior ethnicities\, memories\, languages\, and cultural heritage had to be erased. \nAbout the Speakers \nHoller received his M.A. and Ph.D. in comparative literature from Indiana University\, Bloomington\, and his B.A. in English from the City University of New York. His current book project\, Passing and the Politics of Identity in Israeli and African American Literatures\, explores the phenomenon of passing in a comparative context. A part of a chapter from this project is forthcoming in Prooftexts: A Journal of Jewish Literary History. \nGibel Mevorach received her B.A. and M.A. in African Studies from Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. She is the author of Black\, Jewish and Interracial: It’s Not the Color of Your Skin but the Race of Your Kin\, and Other Myths of Identity (1997)\, and her articles\, review essays\, and position papers have appeared in journals including American Anthropologist\, American Ethnologist\, Biography\, Developing World Bioethics\, Identities\, Cultural Studies\, Research in African Literatures\, נוגה (Noga: Israeli Feminist Journal)\, עתון אחר (Iton Aher)\, and The Jerusalem Post (Israel).

SUMMARY:Black Churches\, Black Catholics: Exploring a Groundbreaking New Survey from Pew Research
DESCRIPTION:Black Christians have played an outsized role in the nation’s religious\, as well as political and social\, life despite America’s brutal legacy of systemic racism. That role has been sharpened by the response of the Black churches to America’s recent upheavals and elections. \nThe Pew Research Center recently released the largest-ever survey of Black believers in the United States titled\, “Faith Among Black Americans.” Its findings provide critical insights into the present and future dynamics of the Black churches—as well as surprising facts about Black Catholics in particular. \nThis webinar will feature an overview of the data by the study’s lead researcher\, plus a discussion with leading experts on Black Catholicism. We will also field questions from our online audience. \nPanelists \nBesheer Mohamed\, Ph.D.\, is a senior researcher at Pew Research Center and one of the principal authors of the new report. \nKiana Cox\, Ph.D.\, is a research associate at Pew Research Center and a principal author of the new report. \nTia Noelle Pratt\, Ph.D.\, is a sociologist of religion specializing in the ways systemic racism affects Black Catholic identity. She received her doctorate in sociology from Fordham University in 2010. She is the president of TNPratt & Associates\, an inclusion and diversity consulting firm in Philadelphia\, and she is the curator of the #BlackCatholicsSyllabus. She is currently working on a book\, Faithful and Devoted: Racism and Identity in the African-American Catholic Experience. \nBryan Massingale\, S.T.D.\, is a priest of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee\, a professor of theological and social ethics\, and the James and Nancy Buckman Chair in Applied Christian Ethics at Fordham University. His most recent book is Racial Justice and the Catholic Church. His current writing projects explore the contributions of Black radicalism to Catholic theology and the intersections of race\, sexuality\, and faith. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the online audience. \nThis event is part of an ongoing series\, Race & Faith\, in collaboration with Fordham’s Office of Campus Ministry.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Kevin R. Mirabile on Exotic Alternative Investments
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Kevin R. Mirabile\, author of Exotic Alternative Investments: Standalone Characteristics\, Unique Risks and Portfolio Effects (Anthem Press\, 2021). In the book\, Mirabile evaluates exotic alternative investment opportunities\, such as life settlements\, litigation funding\, farmlands\, royalties\, weather derivatives\, collectibles\, and other unique asset classes\, providing an in-depth analysis of the returns\, risks\, opportunities\, and portfolio effects for anyone who wants to expand their investment horizons. \nThis book—written for individual investors\, financial advisors\, and academics who desire knowledge about investment products beyond just stocks and bonds or vanilla hedge funds\, private equity\, and real estate investments—provides a critical link to industry data and original research that supports the case for adding exotic alternative investments to traditional portfolios. \nAn excellent tool for practitioners wishing to understand the rationale and impact of allocating capital to these exotic and less-understood investment opportunities\, the book includes an analysis of returns and risk from a wide range of direct investments in individual exotic asset classes\, as well as from investing in public shares and exchange-traded funds. It also includes a section on how these exotic investments performed relative to both traditional and alternative investments\, such as hedge funds\, both before and after the spring 2020 market crash. \nDigital copies of Exotic Alternative Investments will be raffled off to attendees and have been donated by Alex Wright\, GABELLI ’00. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Speaker Introduction: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:08 p.m.: Fireside Chat: Kevin R. Mirabile\, moderated by Dean Rapaccioli and Professor Sris Chatterjee \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Dean Rapaccioli \nAbout the Speaker\nMirabile is a clinical associate professor of finance at Fordham University. He teaches courses on the principles of finance\, investment analysis\, derivatives\, and alternative investing. Prior to becoming an academic\, he held several senior executive positions at Morgan Stanley\, Barclays Capital\, and Larch Lane Advisors in banking\, sales and trading\, and asset management. His responsibilities included securities operations and financing\, electronic trading\, derivatives\, and hedge fund investing. Mirabile received his B.S. in accounting from S.U.N.Y Albany in 1983\, an M.S. in banking and finance from Boston University in 2008\, and Ph.D. in finance and economics from PACE University in 2013. He is an author of several articles and books on alternative investments and hedge funds.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Juin Zhou\, FCRH ’16\, Stony Brook University\, will present “Effective Debye relaxation models for binary solutions of polar liquids in the terahertz frequencies.” \nThere are many effective media models that accurately describe the dielectric properties of mixtures. However\, these models assume that the components are non-interacting. This assumption is not valid for solutions of polar liquids\, resulting in significant deviations between the measured and theoretically predicted complex index of refraction of the mixtures. We present three effective media theories by expanding the well-known Debye relaxation model for solutions of polar liquids in the terahertz (THz) regime. The new effective media models proposed in this paper predict the individual relaxation Debye parameters based on the cooperative motion dynamics and self-associative properties of each mixture\, and therefore explain the deviation of the dielectric functions of the solutions from the traditional effective media models. These models are verified through reflection measurements of four alcohol-water solutions acquired through THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Compared to the current mixed media models\, the new effective Debye theorem predicts the dielectric properties of polar solutions more accurately\, and has the potential to explain inter-species mixing schemes and interactions.

SUMMARY:Why Is Nonprofit Leadership So White?
DESCRIPTION:An enduring reality in New York City’s nonprofit human services sector is that the top executive positions at the majority of human services organizations are held by people who identify as white. However\, in most cases\, these agencies predominantly serve people and communities of color. \nThe visibility of leaders of color within nonprofit organizations is significant to those organizations’ client communities and staff members\, as well as aspiring social work leaders. And while people of color have steadily risen to positions of responsibility within these organizations\, CEO\, president\, and executive director titles seem to elude black\, indigenous\, and people of color (BIPOC) professionals. \nIn this panel discussion\, a diverse group of nonprofit leaders will explore the factors impacting who holds these positions and identify ways in which agencies must adapt in order to address racial disparities in leadership. Additionally\, the discussion will provide the information and next steps needed by schools of social work to inform educational curriculum\, and will prepare students to advocate and organize around diversity and representation in nonprofit leadership. \nPanelists \nCristina Contreras\, M.S.W.\, M.P.A.\, executive director\, NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx \nJess Dannhauser\, M.S.W.\, president and CEO\, Graham Windham \nDamyn Kelly\, J.D.\, Ph.D.\, president and CEO\, Lutheran Social Services of NY \nMaria Lizardo\, L.M.S.W.\, executive director\, Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation \nCurrent Fordham Graduate School of Social Service M.S.W. students Shadequa Hampton and Jolisa Beavers will moderate.

SUMMARY:The Jewish Studies Book Club: The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:Using familiar sources\, such as the Psalms\, Ben Sira\, and Jubilees\, Eva Mroczek tells an unfamiliar story about sacred writing not bound in the Bible. In listening to the way ancient writers describe their own literature—rife with their own metaphors and narratives about writing—The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity (2016) also argues for greater suppleness in our own scholarly imagination\, no longer bound by modern canonical and bibliographic assumptions. Join us for this event featuring Mroczek in conversation with two scholars of ancient Judaism\, Karina Martin Hogan and Karen Stern. \nThe Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity was a winner of the 2017 Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise; the 2017 George A. and Jean S. DeLong Book History Book Prize\, and a finalist for the Jordan Schnitzer Book Award from the Association of Jewish Studies. \nAbout the Speakers\nMroczek is an associate professor of religious studies at the University of California\, Davis. She is the author of numerous articles about the Hebrew Bible\, Second Temple Judaism\, the Dead Sea Scrolls\, and the history of Jews and Christians in antiquity. \nMartin Hogan is an associate professor of Biblical studies and ancient Judaism in the theology department at Fordham University. She is the author of Theologies in Conflict in 4 Ezra: Wisdom Debate and Apocalyptic Solution (2008)\, and the co-editor of Pedagogy in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity (2017) and The “Other” in Second Temple Judaism (2011). \nStern is a professor of history at Brooklyn College. She is the author of Writing on the Wall: Graffiti and the Forgotten Jews of Antiquity (2018) and has conducted archaeological research throughout the Mediterranean region\, including Petra\, Sepphoris\, Pylos\, and Athens. \nThe Jewish Studies Book Club is a joint initiative of The CUNY-Graduate Center and Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:The Land of Israel or Syria Palestina: Reconceptualization of Territory in Rabbinic Literature
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will examine the halakhic definition of the Land of Israel and its surroundings\, particularly the halakhic status of the northern territory of Syria. By analyzing several rabbinic sources\, it will discuss a few theoretical models with which the rabbis attempted to define Syria and its relation to the Land of Israel\, including some conceptual and interpretative shifts within the Palestinian rabbinic corpus itself: from the Mishnah to the Tosefta and the Palestinian Talmud. These different models and the discourse around them provide a glimpse of how the rabbinic community in third- and fourth-century Roman Palestine reconceived their provincial space as it underwent significant political\, demographic\, and economic changes\, and a key prism through which this community’s identity struggle under Rome is reflected. \nAbout the Speaker\nHanan Mazeh is a Kreitman Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History at Ben-Gurion University. His research interrogates textual and thematic developments in rabbinic literature as a key to deepen our understanding of the rabbinic society in the first centuries CE within its cultural context. His particular interest is with the Palestinian Talmud and in questions of territory and relations between Jews and Gentiles in Roman Palestine.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Pain Management - An Overview of Social Work's Potential to Enhance Care
DESCRIPTION:Pain is a multidimensional construct affected by biological\, psychological\, social\, spiritual\, and cultural factors. Health social workers have an enormous opportunity to influence the historical and current barriers to managing pain\, including the racial and gender disparities that continue to impact care and access. Managing pain in collaboration with interprofessional colleagues requires an understanding of ethical challenges and the current political and public policy landscape surrounding pain management and opioid use. This landscape makes access more complex\, demanding expert assessment and treatment plans to maximize effectiveness\, with attention to structures to enhance safe prescribing. In addition to defining pain and associated suffering\, participants will gain an awareness of the ethical\, clinical\, and policy aspects that invite social work advocacy and intervention\, which are reinforced by the foundational principles of environmental context. \nThis class will be taught by Terry Altilio\, LCSW\, APHSW-C\, and Bridget Sumser\, LCSW\, AHPSW-C. \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. \nBridget Sumser became a social worker to help people living with serious illness and facing the end of life. Over the course of the last 10 years\, she has worked across settings\, supporting and advocating for patients\, families\, and community members affected by illness and facing the end of life. She received her M.S.W. from NYU Silver School of Social Work and completed a post-graduate fellowship in palliative social work at Beth Israel Medical Center. She is a Sojourn Scholar with the CAMBIA Health Foundation. In addition to her clinical work\, she is a writer\, educator\, and co-edited Palliative Care: A Guide for Health Social Workers (Oxford University Press\, 2019). Her practice is rooted in a commitment to social justice and understanding illness\, and caregiving within the context of a unique life. Above all\, she looks to promote connection and well-being.

SUMMARY:Cancel Culture: Safety or Censorship? Freedom of Speech\, Higher Education\, and the Fate of America’s Public Square
DESCRIPTION:Cancel culture. De-platforming. Calling out. These are increasingly common terms for what may be a defining battle for our contentious society: the fight over who can say what and when. \nYet what do these terms really mean? Are there limits to free expression? Or are we on the slippery slope to some Orwellian dystopia? This is no abstract argument. The future of university education\, political discourse\, and civil society—not to mention individual careers and personal relationships—will be defined by what we can say\, how we say it\, and what effect our words\, or our silences\, have on each other. \nThis panel discussion will explore the state of the issue and what’s at stake. \nPanelists: \nLaura Specker Sullivan is an assistant professor of philosophy at Fordham and a bioethicist specializing in culture and neuroethics. \nJon Baskin is a founding editor at The Point magazine and the associate director of the creative publishing and critical journalism master’s program at The New School for Social Research. \nMary McNamara is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and culture critic at the Los Angeles Times.
