SUMMARY:2023 Russo Lecture: 'Women and Youth: The Driving Force of Synodality'
DESCRIPTION:Nathalie Becquart\, X.M.C.J.\, is undersecretary of the Vatican’s Office on the Synod—which makes her the highest-ranking woman at the Vatican and a leader in promoting Pope Francis’ vision of a more “synodal” church marked by listening and learning and inclusivity. \nIndeed\, The New York Times called Sister Becquart “the nun reshaping the role of women inside the Vatican.” \nAt this evening event\, Sister Becquart will talk about how women and young people are the driving forces behind this push for a reinvigorated church\, and she will take questions from the audience gathered in the sanctuary. \nThis event relaunches the annual Russo Lecture series\, which was paused by the pandemic. \nA wine-and-cheese reception will follow.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Dennis Marks\, Ph.D.\, professor emeritus\, Department of Physics\, Astronomy\, Geosciences and Engineering Technology at Valdosta State University\, will present “Geometry: From Fordham Prep to the Cosmos.” \nRelativity is expressed geometrically\, but quantum mechanics is expressed in terms of matrices. Geometric algebra expresses geometrical elements as matrices\, thereby providing a common mathematical language for both relativity and quantum mechanics. The kind of matrix—dyreal\, real\, complex\, quaternionic\, or dyquaternionic—depends only on the metric signature “s” (the number of spatial dimensions minus the number of temporal dimensions). The rank of the matrix depends only on “n” (the total number of dimensions\, spatial plus temporal). Geometric algebras are periodic in “s”\, but recursive in “n”\, thereby providing a way for larger geometries to grow from smaller geometries—either the Euclidean plane or the Minkowskian plane. \nQubits are unit vectors in the Euclidean plane\, whose eigenvalues are the bits\, +1 and -1. The dot product of two qubits gives the Bell correlation between them. The direct product of the geometric algebras of the two planes is the geometric algebra of 4-d space-time\, with vectors (space-time)\, bi-vectors (spin-area)\, tri-vectors (momentumenergy)\, and 4-volume (action) that satisfy the Heisenberg (anti-) Commutation Relations as a consequence of the anti-commutativity of the basis vectors. The next four dimensions are compact and have the symmetries of the standard model of physics. After eight dimensions\, the pattern of geometric algebras repeats\, leading to an exponentially expanding 4-d space-time lattice with the physics of the standard model of physics at each node of the lattice. Thereafter\, the universe continues growing in complexity from the bottom up.

SUMMARY:'Ideas Are Debated; Reality Is Discerned': Pope Francis and Ignatian Discernment
DESCRIPTION:When asked in 2013 which aspect of Ignatian spirituality is most important to him as he does his work as pope\, Pope Francis answered without hesitation: discernment. Discernment has been a focus of Pope Francis’ appropriation of Ignatian spirituality going all the way back to his first years of formation during the early ’60s and has shaped his leadership in the church\, as provincial of Argentina’s Jesuits\, archbishop of Buenos Aires\, leader of the Latin American Church\, and finally as pope. In this lecture\, we explore how Pope Francis interprets the process of discernment and Ignatius’s famous Rules for Discernment of Spirits. Since it is possible and fruitful to look not only at how Pope Francis interprets the Spiritual Exercises but at how they “interpret” him\, we will also examine how his understanding of discernment provides a key to understanding how he approaches the urgent task of addressing the church’s most pressing challenges in his Petrine ministry.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum Presents Avi Goldfarb on Power and Prediction: The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence (AI) has impacted many industries around the world: banking and finance\, pharmaceuticals\, automotive\, medical technology\, manufacturing\, and retail. But it has only just begun its odyssey toward cheaper\, better\, and faster predictions that drive strategic business decisions. When a prediction is taken to the max\, industries transform\, and with such transformation comes disruption. \nWhat is at the root of this? In their bestselling first book\, Prediction Machines\, eminent economists Ajay Agrawal\, Joshua Gans\, and Avi Goldfarb explain the simple yet game-changing economics of AI. Now\, in Power and Prediction\, they go deeper\, examining the most basic unit of analysis: the decision. The authors explain that the two key decision-making ingredients are prediction and judgment\, and we perform both together in our minds\, often without realizing it. The rise of AI is shifting prediction from humans to machines\, relieving people from this cognitive load while increasing the speed and accuracy of decisions. \nThis sets the stage for a flourishing of new decisions and has profound implications for system-level innovation. Redesigning systems of interdependent decisions takes time—many industries are in the quiet before the storm—but when these new systems emerge\, they can be disruptive on a global scale. Decision-making confers power. In industry\, power confers profits; in society\, power confers control. This process will have winners and losers\, and the authors show how businesses can leverage opportunities\, as well as protect their positions. \nAbout the Speaker\nAvi Goldfarb is the Rotman Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare and a professor of marketing at the Rotman School of Management\, University of Toronto. Goldfarb is also the chief data scientist at the Creative Destruction Lab\, a faculty affiliate at the Vector Institute and the Schwartz-Reisman Institute for Technology and Society\, and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Goldfarb’s research focuses on the economic effects of information technology. Along with Ajay Agrawal and Joshua Gans\, Goldfarb is the author of the Globe and Mail bestselling book Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence. His latest book\, Power and Prediction\, was published in November 2022 by Harvard Business Review Press. He has published academic articles in marketing\, statistics\, law\, management\, medicine\, political science\, refugee studies\, physics\, computing\, and economics. Goldfarb is a former senior editor at Marketing Science. His work on online advertising won the INFORMS Society of Marketing Science Long Term Impact Award\, and he testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on related work in competition and privacy in digital advertising. Goldfarb received his Ph.D. in economics from Northwestern University. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Supporting Children Involved with the Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Children participate in adult-oriented and adult-controlled court systems on a daily basis. Many of these children are victims of\, or witnesses to\, trauma and are frequently retraumatized by a justice system that does not always adjust to their needs. \nThis class will discuss the experiences of children involved in the justice system\, techniques for quick rapport-building and engagement when meeting children in court\, supportive ways to explain the justice system in developmentally appropriate language\, and how to provide trauma-informed\, effective advocacy for a population that is often left voiceless. It will also cover best practices for a multidisciplinary team approach to supporting court-involved children\, including how a social worker can advocate for the value of one’s expertise within such a team\, as well as how to support non-social work colleagues dealing with secondary trauma from this work. \nThis class will provide an understanding of a child’s rights within the justice system\, ideas and tools to help them cope with the emotional stress\, and tips for those who may prepare children to testify in court. As forensic social workers and clinicians\, we must learn how to empower children and their caregivers to have a better understanding of the complicated justice systems that often dictate their lives. Participants will also learn about procedural justice with special considerations for children and caregivers\, as well as ethical considerations for a social worker when working within the justice system\, including advocacy versus best interest. \nThree continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of this class.

SUMMARY:'Fordham’s Jesuit You’ve Likely Never Heard of: William F. Lynch\, S.J. (1908–1987)'
DESCRIPTION:In May 1960\, following the publication of his best-known work\, Christ and Apollo: The Dimensions of the Literary Imagination\, Time magazine hailed the Jesuit William F. Lynch as “one of the most incisive Catholic intellectuals in the U.S.” However\, by 1987\, Daniel Berrigan could write in his obituary for Lynch (Berrigan’s close friend) that his later years were marked by “remarkable public neglect.” \nAided by documents found in Lynch’s papers in Fordham University’s Archives and Special Collections\, this lecture from Stephen Schloesser\, S.J.\, will try to remember Lynch: his childhood years in an Upper East Side tenement along the East River; attending Regis High School; his years at Fordham—first as a student earning his B.A.\, M.A.\, and Ph.D. degrees\, then as a teacher\, and later as the editor of Thought\, Fordham’s journal of culture and ideas; his struggles with mental illness; and his later years. The lecture will conclude by identifying several key themes in Lynch’s studies of the imagination\, especially the question: “Can we trust the limited and finite to lead somewhere?” \nAbout the Speaker\nStephen Schloesser\, S.J.\, has been a professor of European cultural and intellectual history at Loyola University Chicago since 2011. After receiving his Ph.D. in history and humanities from Stanford University\, Schloesser was a member of the Boston College history faculty between 1999 and 2011. He is the author of Jazz Age Catholicism: Mystic Modernism in Postwar Paris\, 1919–1933 (2005) and Visions of Amen: The Early Life and Music of Olivier Messiaen (2014); curator and editor of “Mystic Masque: Semblance and Reality in Georges Rouault\, 1871–1958” (2008); co-editor with Kyle B. Roberts of Crossings and Dwellings: Restored Jesuits\, Women Religious\, American Experience\, 1814–2014 (2017); and co-editor with Jennifer Donnelson of Mystic Modern: The Music\, Thought\, and Legacy of Charles Tournemire (2014). \nCo-sponsored by the Spellman Jesuit Community

SUMMARY:Navigating Microaggressions Through the Lens of Clinicians of Color
DESCRIPTION:While social workers work to raise our collective voices of protest against blatant forms of racism in society\, we may be less sensitive to “the subtle\, cumulative mini-assault [that]is the substance of today’s racism” present in our profession. Microaggressions are often illusive and nuanced\, verbal and nonverbal acts that reflect the superiority\, hostility\, and discrimination of the dominant culture against a minority. They prove to be more insidious than overt forms of racism because they are easier to go unnamed and\, therefore\, invalidated. \nIt is imperative that social workers increase their attunement and consciousness of microaggressions\, not only in society at large but also in their profession. This class will review ways in which racial microaggressions are experienced by and impact clinicians of color in a variety of settings. It seeks to illuminate a framework to understand clinicians’ disenfranchised experiences\, particularly in clinical environments that are susceptible to act as depositories of transference and countertransference. From the perspective of the professional experience of clinicians of color and a review of literature\, we will explore ways to forge critical awareness of the subject. The goals of the presentation are for participants to critically reflect on their practice\, become more informed\, and learn new practices to become aware of microaggressions\, ultimately supporting and creating alliances with their peer clinicians of color. \nClinicians who complete this course will receive 1.5 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:David Myers and Nomi Stolzenberg on American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid book talk in conversation with Abner Green. \nPublic attention in recent months has focused on the large Hasidic community in the New York area and the interplay of politics\, state funding\, and educational standards. This talk will focus on one of the largest and most interesting examples\, Kiryas Joel\, a legally recognized municipality in suburban New York made up exclusively of Satmar Hasidic Jews. How did the community come into being? How\, and why\, did it secure recognition as a municipality? What part has education played in its history? And where is this rapidly growing community heading? \nAbout the Speakers\nNomi M. Stolzenberg holds the Nathan and Lilly Shapell Chair at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. She is a legal scholar whose research spans a range of interdisciplinary interests\, including law and religion\, law and liberalism\, law and feminism\, law and psychoanalysis\, and law and literature. After getting her J.D. at Harvard Law School in 1987 and clerking for the Honorable John Gibbons\, chief judge of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals\, she joined the faculty at the USC Gould School in 1988. There\, she helped establish the USC Center for Law\, History\, and Culture\, one of the preeminent centers for the study of law and the humanities. She is the co-author with David N. Myers of American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York (Princeton\, 2022) and the author of numerous articles on law and religion\, including the widely cited “He Drew a Circle That Shut Me Out: Assimilation\, Indoctrination\, and the Paradox of a Liberal Education\,” published in the Harvard Law Review; “Righting the Relationship Between Race and Religion in Law;” and “The Return of Religion: Legal Secularism’s Rise and Fall and Possible Resurrection.” She is spending the 2022-2023 academic year as a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and as a fellow at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, where she will be working on a new project on religious exemptions and the theory of “faith-based discrimination.” \nDavid N. Myers is a distinguished professor of history and holds the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA\, where he serves as the director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. He also directs the new UCLA Initiative to Study Hate. He is the author or editor of more than 15 books in the field of Jewish history\, including American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York (Princeton\, 2022) with Nomi Stolzenberg. Myers also serves as president of the New Israel Fund. \nAbner Greene is the Leonard F. Manning Professor of Law. He specializes in administrative and regulatory law\, constitutional law\, freedom of speech and the press\, law and philosophy\, religion and the law\, and the U.S. Supreme Court. \nThis event is co-sponsored with Fordham Law School. \n(For 30% off American Shtetl from the Princeton University Press website\, use code “SHTL” before June 20.)

SUMMARY:The Russia Question Hosts Serhii Plokhy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with Serhii Plokhy on his recent book\, The Russo-Ukrainian War. \nDespite repeated warnings from the White House\, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war—and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military. The West has united\, and Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy\, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War\, offers a definitive account of this conflict\, its origins\, course\, and both the already-apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault—on February 27\, 2014\, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament—the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier\, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the 19th and 20th centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia’s ideas and cultures\, as well as domestic and international politics\, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable\, it was predictable. \nUkraine\, Plokhy argues\, has remained central to Russia’s idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons\, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order\, and a resurgence of populist nationalism\, Ukraine is more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe. \nThe Russia Question is a book talk series devoted to all things Russia\, hosted by professor Michael Ossorgin\, Russian program director at Fordham College at Lincoln Center.

SUMMARY:Clavius Distinguished Lecture with Bruce S. Kristal\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Bruce S. Kristal\, Ph.D.\, will present “Modeling at a Different Level to Optimize Data Use: Accurately Predicting the Outcome of the Fusion of Mathematical Models.” \nResolving technological gaps in the optimal handling and leveraging of data resources will facilitate future progress across many fields. Often\, it is advantageous to combine multiple mathematical models for robustness or power\, but realizing these potential gains cannot be guaranteed. This fundamental technological gap limits our ability to leverage data across essentially any domain in which more than one potentially useful mathematical model exists. In this lecture\, Kristal will discuss the development of the DIRAC framework\, an approach that complements\, not replaces\, standard modeling approaches by accurately predicting the outcome of both score and rank-based fusions. DIRAC’s core implementation is inherently domain- and distribution-independent and has predicted utility across far-ranging areas\, such as clinical biomarker development/personalized medicine\, clinical trial enrollment\, insurance pricing\, portfolio management\, and sensor optimization.

SUMMARY:Stories Between Christianity and Islam: A Conversation with Reyhan Durmaz
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to present the next 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. This episode will feature Reyhan Durmaz and Ashley Purpura. \nThe 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. \nAbout Reyhan Durmaz\nIn this talk\, Reyhan Durmaz will reflect on her recently published book and her current research projects. In Stories between Christianity and Islam (UCP 2022)\, Durmaz investigates the dynamics underlying the transmissions of saints’ stories between Christianity and Islam. By analyzing a broad group of Greek\, Syriac\, and Arabic texts from the fourth to the 14th century\, she revisits the lively scholarly conversations about orality\, authorship\, authority\, and memory in late antiquity and the Middle Ages. Through the lens of saints’ stories\, their narrators\, and their audiences\, she argues against literary taxonomies\, such as “Christian” and “Islamic” texts. \nShe demonstrates that Christian saints’ stories facilitated ongoing conversations between Christians and Muslims about the shared divine past\, conceptualizations of sanctity\, and communal identities. As the faculty fellow at the Orthodox Christian Studies Center for the 2022-2023 academic year\, she is working on a new monograph that reconstructs the various forms and expressions of Christianities in the medieval Middle Eastern countryside. The history of Christianity in the Middle East is often studied in light of theological developments and in relation to the presumed dominance of Islam. The book highlights that in rural regions\, far from the centers of clerical authority and Islamic influence\, Christianity manifested in diverse ways\, displaying complex dynamics of religious authority\, communal belonging\, and ritual practice. In the talk\, Durmaz will give examples of material culture and literary sources she uses in her project in order to study Middle Eastern Christianity. \nDurmaz is working on two other related projects. In one\, she investigates forms of religious skepticism beyond philosophical writings of the elite in the medieval Middle East\, with an eye to destabilizing the Eurocentric narratives of secularization and the implied European roots of modernity. For the other\, she studies the role Orthodox Christians have played in the making of publics in the U.S. Her analysis of the first Arabic newspaper in North America\, Kawkab Amrika\, founded by Christians from Lebanon\, is forthcoming in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion. The talk will address these intertwined projects on Middle Eastern Christians at home and in diaspora.

SUMMARY:On Asian American Literature (and Life) in the Time of COVID
DESCRIPTION:The Fordham University Department of English is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Hong Sohn\, Ph.D.\, as the Thomas F. X. and Theresa Mullarkey Chair in Literature and requests the pleasure of your company at his installation ceremony and inaugural lecture. A reception will immediately follow the lecture. \nIn this talk\, Sohn will explore the various ways his professional life\, research\, and relationship with Asian American literature have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sohn will detail how he first accepted his offer to come to Fordham in January 2020 and how the COVID-19 lockdown period enabled him to complete a book even as he was compelled to initiate a new research project. His experiences reading Asian American literature shifted radically\, beginning in March 2020 as the pandemic complicated how he engaged with genres like science fiction and fantasy\, and his subsequent move to New York City continued to push him to develop this line of thinking further. He will also describe his current and upcoming book projects\, focusing first on the importance of speculative fiction as a site of radical potentiality and then detailing the crucial place of Asian American literature and studies as a site of care work. \n\nThe Mullarkey Chair in Literature was established at Fordham by Theresa Mullarkey in memory of her husband\, Thomas F. X. Mullarkey\, FCRH ’54\, LAW ’59\, and as a continuation of his long-standing support of Fordham and the humanities.

SUMMARY:Fordham Interdisciplinary Seminar Series: Laura Specker Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture from Laura Specker Sullivan\, titled “Situated Personhood: Insights from Caregivers of Minimally Communicative Individuals.” \nFor caregivers of minimally communicative individuals\, providing support in the absence of clearly meaningful responses is ethically fraught. We conducted a secondary analysis of qualitative data from caregivers of individuals who are minimally communicative\, including persons with advanced dementia and individuals with disorders of consciousness. Our analysis led to two central claims: (1) Personhood is a threshold concept that is situated\, relational\, and dynamic; (2) In circumstances in which personhood is difficult to judge\, caregivers can “fill the gap” to reach the threshold through a repertoire of strategies. Because personhood is in part an attribution from others\, a situational loss of personhood does not preclude restoration\, nor does it eliminate moral status. \nAbout the Speaker\nLaura Specker Sullivan is an assistant professor of philosophy. She is a specialist in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural ethics who incorporates her experience in clinical ethics consultation and qualitative research into her philosophical work. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Hawaii\, focusing on informed consent in Japan. She is the former director of ethics at the Medical University of South Carolina and a previous assistant professor of philosophy at the College of Charleston. She has held fellowships at the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School\, the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering at the University of Washington\, Neuroethics Canada at the University of British Columbia\, and the Kokoro Research Center at Kyoto University. \nThis event will take place in a hybrid format and will have live captioning. Attend the lecture virtually.

SUMMARY:Physics and Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Johannes Flick\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor\, Department of Physics\, City College of New York\, will present\, “First-Principle Approaches to Strong Light-Matter Coupling in Molecular and Extended Systems.” \nIn recent years\, research at the interface of material science\, chemistry\, and quantum optics has surged and now offers new possibilities to study light-matter interactions. The combination of theoretical concepts from these fields presents an opportunity to create a predictive theoretical and computational approach from first principles that describes the correlated dynamics of electrons\, nuclei\, and the electromagnetic field on the same quantized footing. \nIn this talk\, Flick will discuss how density-functional theory can be generalized to quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory (QEDFT) and show how new exchange-correlation potentials arise. We discuss the linear-response theory for QEDFT to access excited state properties of such systems\, the emerging ab initio lifetimes\, and the incorporation of losses. By considering electrons\, nuclei\, and photons on the same quantized footing\, we find polaritonically induced vibrational mode mixing\, cavity-modulated molecular motion of molecules in optical cavities\, as well as new light-matter correlated observables for a new type of spectroscopy. Further\, we use this novel framework to study how chemical reactivity is altered in this regime\, by studying the modification of potential-energy surfaces under strong light-matter coupling. Beyond molecular systems\, we will discuss how strong light-matter coupling can be used to make nonlinear phonon processes more efficient and discuss first principle methods to characterize novel single-photon emitters.

SUMMARY:Exoneration\, Education\, Change: A Conversation with Yusef Salaam
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Community Engaged Learning (CCEL)\, in partnership with the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer\, invites you to a talk entitled Exoneration\, Education\, Change: A Conversation with Yusef Salaam. \nIn 1989\, at the age of 15\, Salaam was tried and convicted in the “Central Park jogger” case along with four other Black and Latinx young men\, the so-called “Central Park 5.” After almost seven years behind bars for a crime he did not commit\, his case was overturned and he was set free. \nHis life was forever changed by the experience\, and since his release\, he has advocated for criminal justice reform\, prison reform\, and the abolition of juvenile solitary confinement and capital punishment. \nHe recently released his memoir\, Better\, Not Bitter\, detailing his journey in the face of injustice. \nThis conversation will be facilitated in collaboration with Anne Hoffman’s CCEL course\, Incarceration: History\, Literature\, Film.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum Presents Dror Goldberg on Easy Money: American Puritans and the Invention of Modern Currency
DESCRIPTION:Economists endlessly debate the nature of legal tender monetary systems—coins and bills issued by a government or other authority—yet the origins of these currencies have received little attention. Dror Goldberg tells the story of modern money in North America through the Massachusetts colony during the 17th century. As the young settlement transitioned to self-governance and its economy grew\, the need to formalize a smooth exchange emerged. Printing local money followed. \nEasy Money illustrates how colonists invented contemporary currency by shifting its foundation from intrinsically valuable goods—such as silver—to the taxation of the state. Goldberg traces how this structure grew into a worldwide system in which\, monetarily\, we are all Massachusetts. Weaving economics\, law\, and American history\, Easy Money is a new touchstone in the story of monetary systems. \nJoin us to hear from Goldberg\, in conversation with Richard Sylla. \nAbout the Speakers\nDror Goldberg is a senior faculty member in the Department of Management and Economics at the Open University of Israel. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Rochester and a law degree from Tel Aviv University. Goldberg studies the theory\, history\, and law of money\, especially of legal tender currency. His work was published in the Journal of Economic History\, the Journal of Monetary Economics\, Economic Theory\, and the Journal of Money\, Credit\, and Banking\, among others. He is the author of Easy Money: American Puritans and the Invention of Modern Currency\, published by the University of Chicago Press in March. Goldberg worked at Texas A&M University and spent a sabbatical in the Department of Economics at NYU as a guest of professor Richard Sylla. \nRichard Sylla is a professor emeritus of economics and the former Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets at the NYU Stern School of Business. He is the author or co-author of several books\, including Alexander Hamilton on Finance\, Credit\, and Debt\, Alexander Hamilton: The Illustrated Biography\, and Genealogy of American Finance. He was chairman of the Museum of American Finance from 2010 to 2020. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Amy Weiss on Realigning Faith: American Jews\, Protestants\, and Israel 1945–2020
DESCRIPTION:In 1977\, the American Jewish Committee awarded Billy Graham its first National Interreligious Award in recognition of the evangelist’s support of Israel and endorsement of interfaith relations. While bestowing the award upon an evangelical—and not a mainline Protestant or Catholic—made sense to the AJC\, not all Jewish communal organizations or American Jews understood this decision. This talk examines the shifting alliances the AJC and other communal organizations forged with evangelicals in the late 20th century and how these alliances revealed the role of Israel in Jewish-Protestant relations. \nAbout the Speaker\nAmy Weiss holds the Maurice Greenberg Chair of Judaic Studies and is an assistant professor of Judaic studies and history at the University of Hartford. During the 2022-2023 academic year\, she is also a faculty fellow in ethnic studies for the University of Hartford’s Center for the Humanities and a Center for Jewish History-Fordham University Research Fellow. She previously held the Thomas and Elissa Ellant Katz Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania’s Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. Her research and publications focus on the intersections of American Jewish history\, Israeli culture\, and Jewish-Protestant relations. She is currently writing a book manuscript on the evolving relationships American Jewish communal organizations have forged with evangelicals on issues relating to Israel. Most recently\, her articles have appeared in the journals American Jewish History\, Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, and Israel Studies. Her work has also appeared in the edited volumes Armed Jews in the Americas\, Teaching the Arab-Israeli Conflict in the College Classroom\, and Minhagim: Custom and Practice in Jewish Life. Weiss received her Ph.D. from the departments of Hebrew and Judaic studies and history at New York University. \nThis hybrid lecture is part of the joint research fellowship at the Center for Jewish History and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies.
