SUMMARY:How Did We Get Here?: A Deep Dive into the History of Israel and Palestine\, Part II: 1948–1967
DESCRIPTION:The Hamas-engineered massacre of October 7\, 2023\, stunned and shocked Israel and the Jewish world to the core. It triggered a massive Israeli response that has reduced large parts of northern Gaza to rubble. Supporters of Israel and the Palestinians are more bitterly divided than ever\, around the world and especially on college campuses. What are the roots of today’s conflict? And what does it portend for the future of the region? \nTo gain insight into this latest stage in a brutal and divisive conflict that has ebbed and flowed for more than a century\, Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies is sponsoring a four-part series on the history of the conflict with Hussein Ibish\, Ph.D.\, and professor David Myers. During the 2017-2018 academic year\, Ibish and Myers came to campus to deliver a three-part series on the history of this conflict. Five years later\, they return to Fordham to offer an in-depth perspective on the history of Israel-Palestine in light of the current moment. \nThis is the second in a four-part series. For more information about the series\, please visit https://jewishstudies.ace.fordham.edu/how-did-we-get-here-a-deep-dive-into-the-history-of-israel-and-palestine/. \nAbout the Speakers\nHussein Ibish is a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington. He is a weekly columnist for The National and previously served as a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine. \nDavid N. Myers is a distinguished professor and the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair of Jewish History at UCLA. The author and editor of many books\, he directs the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy and the UCLA Initiative to Study Hate.

SUMMARY:Historian Jules Isaac: From the Teaching of Contempt to the Teaching of Esteem
DESCRIPTION:Few people were more influential in changing the relations between the Catholic Church and Jews than the historian Jules Isaac. In his life\, Jules Isaac lived through and played a role in some of the most pivotal moments in European history. Born in 1877\, he closely followed the Dreyfus affair\, which put a spotlight on modern antisemitism in France\, and joined the Drefussard camp. \nAs a historian and a man deeply committed to the French ideal of secularism\, he co-authored with Albert Malet a famous history textbook\, which shaped the way French children studied and understood history. Before focusing his attention on Catholic teachings about Jews and Judaism\, Isaac worked toward Franco-German reconciliation. When\, during World War II\, he was subjected to anti-Jewish laws by the Vichy regime and removed from his job as a teacher\, he turned his attention to the study of the roots of antisemitism. Then\, after the war\, despite the deportation and murder of his wife Laure and his daughter Juliette in Auschwitz\, he found the courage to open a dialogue with the Christian world and work toward reconciliation. \nIn 1948\, Isaac published his influential book Jesus and Israel\, in which he discussed the Jewishness of Jesus\, and founded the French organization called Judeo-Christian Friendship of France. His meeting with Pope Pius XII and his visit to Pope John XXIII on June 13\, 1960\, were both decisive in helping change the Church’s view of Judaism\, leading to the Nostra Aetate declaration of the Second Vatican Council in 1965. \nIsaac\, who died in 1963\, did not see the fruit of his labor: the promulgation of the Declaration “Nostra Aetate.” Emmanuel Chouraqui’s documentary explores the life of Jules Isaac and how he was able to help transform Catholic anti-Jewish teachings “of contempt” into a teaching of esteem. \nWe will view an early version of the film by Emmanuel Chouraqui and hear him discuss the film with Matthieu Langlois and Norman C. Tobias\, the author of Jewish Conscience of the Church: Jules Isaac and the Second Vatican Council.

SUMMARY:Catholicism As Cultural History: The Enduring Legacy of John O’Malley\, S.J.
DESCRIPTION:John O’Malley\, S.J. (1927–2022) was an extraordinarily talented and devoted scholar\, writer\, teacher\, and Jesuit priest. The research of his early career helped recast our understanding of the Catholic response to the Reformation and the development of the Society of Jesus. The writings of the last 20 years of his long and prolific life—books and essays on church councils and Western culture—brought him new audiences beyond the academy. \nThe golden thread running through all of his work was the centrality of cultural history. This conference will highlight that legacy while expanding on the ways that O’Malley’s style can help us understand a more global and diverse Catholicism of the future. \nAnchored by a keynote address by Carlos Eire of Yale University\, the conference will feature panels on “Catholicism as Cultural History” and “Languages of Dialogue and Inclusion\,” and will include contributions from scholars Pamela Jones\, Mary Dunn\, Thomas Worcester\, S.J.\, Mary Ann Hinsdale\, Catherine Chaput\, and James McCartin. \nFordham’s Brenna Moore will offer concluding remarks\, to be followed by a wine-and-cheese reception. \nThis event is organized by the Center on Religion and Culture and is also made possible through the support of the Spellman Jesuit Community of Fordham\, the Fordham Division on Mission and Ministry\, and the Fordham History Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening: ‘Knife/Paint/Words: The Art of Deborah Ugoretz’
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of the exhibit “Knife/Paint/Words: The Art of Deborah Ugoretz\,” followed by an artist’s talk and reception. \nThe ancient Kabbalists believed that it was possible to find meaning in the empty spaces around and within the letters of texts. The Japanese concept of Notan views the relationship between negative and positive space as reciprocal and necessary for harmony and balance. These two worldviews deeply influence the artist’s work. Deborah Ugoretz explores these by working with cut paper and painting in acrylics. “The simplicity\, flexibility\, and strength of paper enable me to transform it into multidimensional art with a limitless range of expression\,” she said. \nInspired by the written word\, Ugoretz takes texts—poems\, prayers\, and ancient writings—and translates them into a visual language that infuses those words with deeper meaning because visual language can touch on a richer emotional and intellectual level. One of Ugoretz’s works\, “The Six Days of Creation\,” based on the Genesis story\, uses her theory of color as a comment on the ravages of disposable culture. \nThe exhibit is accompanied by a display of rare books from the Special Collections. The exhibit will be on view until May 20. \nAbout the Artist\nDeborah Ugoretz is a Brooklyn-based artist\, born in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin. She holds a B.S. in fine art from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her expressive work deals with the exploration of feminism\, her concern for and fascination with the diversity of the natural world\, and social issues. Since 1978\, Ugoretz has been a master cut paper artist and teacher. Her work was featured in the monograph In the Tradition of Our Ancestors – Papercutting (Folklife Program of the New Jersey State Council of the Arts\, 2006) and the catalog of the exhibition “Slash! Paper Under the Knife\,” held at the Museum of Art and Design in New York from 2009 2010. She has designed stained glass windows and synagogue art for the Russ Berrie Home for Jewish Life in Rockleigh\, New Jersey\, and other houses of worship. Other commissions include the Tenement Museum\, University of Michigan\, Jewish Theological Seminary\, YIVO Institute of Jewish Research\, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. \nUgoretz’s work has been exhibited at the Milwaukee Jewish Museum\, the Monmouth Art Museum\, the Hebrew Union College Institute of Religion Museum\, the Philadelphia Museum of Jewish Art\, The Museum of Biblical Art\, the UJA Federation Gallery\, and others. Ugoretz is recognized by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as a master cut-paper artist. \nThis event is open to alumni\, faculty/staff\, parents\, students\, and the public.

SUMMARY:Documentary Screening: Racing Extinction
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a public screening of Racing Extinction\, a documentary that follows the connection between anthropogenic activity and its effects on the environment\, mainly animal ecosystems\, while also following such topics as climate change\, sustainability\, and environmental ethics. \n“Scientists predict we may lose half the species on the planet by the end of the century. They believe we have entered the sixth major extinction event in Earth’s history. Number five took out the dinosaurs. This era is called the Anthropocene\, or ‘Age of Man’\, because the evidence shows that humanity has sparked this catastrophic loss. We are the only ones who can stop it as well.”—Oceanic Preservation Society

SUMMARY:‘Banned! A History of Censorship’: Exhibit Tour and Talk About the Censorship of Anne Frank’s Diary
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a tour of the exhibit “Banned! A History of Censorship” and a talk by Ruth Franklin about the censorship of Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl. \nBooks\, libraries\, librarians\, and writers are subject to attacks—again. Recent book bans across the United States targeting Black history\, the Holocaust\, and LGBTQ themes have dominated the news. But the censorship of books has a longer history. The “Banned! A History of Censorship” exhibit explores that history\, along with the practices of censorship\, the methods to control and ban books and ideas\, the resilience of censored works\, and the attempts to push back. Authorities could ban books\, but they could not destroy them or the ideas contained in them entirely. Indeed\, while today some voices are heard complaining about universities not teaching major texts of “Western civilization\,” many of these books were originally banned across Europe by Protestant and Catholic authorities\, including works by Thomas Hobbes\, John Locke\, David Hume\, Denis Diderot\, Jean-Jacques Rousseau\, John Stuart Mill\, Immanuel Kant\, and more. \nMajor works of literature that we cherish today were also banned\, among them Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables and Alexander Dumas’s Three Musketeers\, which were both on Index Librorum Prohibitorum or the Index of Prohibited Books. As this exhibit demonstrates\, cultural\, religious\, and moral values are never static. They change over time. If some books and ideas become acceptable\, others might become abhorrent. Because Fordham was obliged to abide by the Index of Prohibited Books until its abolition in 1966\, due to its status as a Catholic and Jesuit university\, the exhibit also explores how Fordham dealt with books that were included in the Index. \nThe exhibit is on view at the Walsh Family Library in the main exhibition hall on the first floor and in Special Collections on the fourth floor until March 15. \nAbout the Speaker\nRuth Franklin is an American literary critic. She is a former editor of The New Republic and an adjunct professor at New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute. She is the author of A Thousand Darknesses: Lies and Truth in Holocaust Fiction (2010) and Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life (2016)\, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography and was named a New York Times Notable Book of 2016. She is currently working on a book about Anne Frank.

SUMMARY:How Did We Get Here? A Deep Dive into the History of Israel and Palestine\, Part III: 1967–2023
DESCRIPTION:The Hamas-engineered massacre of October 7\, 2023\, stunned and shocked Israel and the Jewish world to the core. It triggered a massive Israeli response that has reduced large parts of northern Gaza to rubble. Supporters of Israel and the Palestinians are more bitterly divided than ever\, around the world and especially on college campuses. What are the roots of today’s conflict? And what does it portend for the future of the region? \nTo gain insight into this latest stage in a brutal and divisive conflict that has ebbed and flowed for more than a century\, Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies is sponsoring a four-part series on the history of the conflict with Hussein Ibish\, Ph.D.\, and professor David Myers. During the 2017-2018 academic year\, Ibish and Myers came to campus to deliver a three-part series on the history of this conflict. Five years later\, they return to Fordham to offer an in-depth perspective on the history of Israel-Palestine in light of the current moment. \nThis is the third in a four-part series. For more information about the series\, please visit https://jewishstudies.ace.fordham.edu/how-did-we-get-here-a-deep-dive-into-the-history-of-israel-and-palestine/. \nAbout the Speakers\nHussein Ibish is a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington. He is a weekly columnist for The National and previously served as a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine. \nDavid N. Myers is a distinguished professor and the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair of Jewish History at UCLA. The author and editor of many books\, he directs the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy and the UCLA Initiative to Study Hate.

SUMMARY:Viral Assemblages in Extraordinary Times: Queer Belonging and Precarity in India
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Communication and Media Studies invites you for a talk and reception featuring Rohit K. Dasgupta\, Ph.D.\, senior lecturer in cultural industries\, from the University of Glasgow. Dasgupta will discuss the “queer patchworks” queer and trans communities in India that developed during the COVID-19 pandemic to navigate survival during these nonnormative times. Queer people in India live within different forms of marginality and precarity\, homophobia\, caste violence\, unemployment\, and homelessness\, and this research highlights and analyzes the ways digital media was used by individuals and organizations as a form of witness\, belonging\, intimacy\, and care. It involves ethnographic accounting of patchworks of WhatsApp texts\, broken Zoom conversations\, cooking gossip\, and addas on the banks of river Hooghly as a nod to these new realities\, which are reshaping queer identities and offering new ways to also acknowledge\, accommodate\, and “queer” what counts as knowledge.

SUMMARY:Elisheva Baumgarten on 'Contending with Domestic Crises: Jewish Marriages in the Late Middle Ages'
DESCRIPTION:In the late 13th century\, a Jewish rabbi in northern France declared: “And now we (anu) are accustomed to betrothing our daughters\, even minors\, because every day the exile becomes harsher. Thus\, if a person is able to provide his daughter with a dowry\, perhaps at some later time he will not be able to do so and his daughter will remain chained (aguna) forever.”(Tosafot\, Kiddushin 41a\, s.v. “asur le’adam”). \nThis talk will discuss a variety of crises related to marriage\, such as child brides\, canceled betrothals\, and divorce\, in light of the changing fate of Ashkenazic Jewry in the late 13th and 14th centuries. It will seek to situate these changes not only within the family frameworks of medieval Jews\, but also within larger trends and shifts in medieval Christian culture. \nAbout the Speaker\nElisheva Baumgarten is the Yitzchak Becker Professor of Jewish Studies and teaches in the Department of Jewish History and the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She also serves as the academic head of the Joseph\, Jack\, and Morton Mandel School for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at HUJI. Her research focuses on the Jews of medieval Ashkenaz in the high Middle Ages\, and is currently running the Israel Science Foundation-funded research group\, Contending with Crises: The Jews in XIVth Century Europe. Her latest book is Biblical Women and Jewish Daily Life in Medieval Europe (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2022)\, winner of a 2022 National Jewish Book Award.

SUMMARY:A Catholic Reckoning on Slavery: Rachel Swarns on The 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Swarns is a journalist\, scholar\, and Black Catholic from Staten Island whose groundbreaking reporting and research illuminates the harrowing origin story of the Catholic Church in America\, which relied on slave labor and slave sales to sustain its operations and help fuel its expansion. \nThe article she first wrote for The New York Times in 2016—about the prominent Jesuit priests who sold 272 people to save Georgetown University from bankruptcy—would become the seed of her new book\, The 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church. Her work has helped spark the movement for reparations and reconciliation in America—and in the Catholic Church. \nProfessor Swarns will talk about her book\, about what the Church—and the United States—must do to help heal our racial divides\, and about what this project has meant for her own faith. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a discussion after the talk\, including questions from the audience. \nSwarns will be available to sign a limited number of books following the program. \nThis lecture is made possible by the Russo Family Foundation in memory of Wanda and Robert Russo Sr.\, M.D.\, FCRH ‘39.

SUMMARY:Activism and the Art of Reinvention: Lyn Slater and Christine Platt in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The Graduate School of Social Service is proud to host a conversation between author\, social worker\, fashion influencer\, and former GSS professor Lyn Slater\, Ph.D.\, and author Christine Platt\, J.D. The topic of conversation will be “living a life of activism creatively and finding opportunities to promote and facilitate intergenerational collaboration\,” using Slater’s upcoming book How to Be Old: Lessons in Living Boldly from the Accidental Icon (Plume\, 2024) and Platt’s 2021 release The Afrominimalist’s Guide to Living with Less as a framework for the discussion. \nAbout the Speakers\nLyn Slater is a writer\, activist\, social worker\, former professor\, and serial reinventer. Throughout her 47-year career as a social worker\, she has creatively accessed performance\, storytelling\, photography\, fashion\, social media\, and the internet in the service of her advocacy work. In 2014\, when she started a fashion blog at the age of 61\, she instigated a change in how older people are represented in the media\, as well as challenged stereotypes about what it means to be an older adult. She walked away when her role became more about consumerism than culture change. She shares her experience in her memoir\, How to Be Old. Today\, Slater writes on Substack and in a column in her local newspaper that seeks to engage residents of all ages in the project of making their city an age-friendly\, sustainable community. \nChristine Platt is a multigenre author who has carved a unique path in the worlds of lifestyle and literature. She holds a B.A. in Africana studies from the University of South Florida\, an M.A. in African and African American studies from The Ohio State University\, and a J.D. from Stetson University College of Law. Platt currently serves as the executive director for Jacqueline Woodson’s nonprofit residency for artists of the “global majority\,” Baldwin for the Arts. Platt is a member of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs\, the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators\, the Association of Black Women Historians\, and the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. She also serves as an ambassador for the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.
