SUMMARY:Exhibiting Medieval Spain: Yesterday and Today
DESCRIPTION:Co-organized with The Met Cloisters in conjunction with the exhibition Spain\, 1000-1200: Art at the Frontiers of Faith (running August 30 to January 30\, 2022)\, this roundtable will feature three scholars who have deep experience curating exhibitions that engage with the multiple cultures of medieval Spain. It will be moderated by the curator of the exhibition\, Julia Perratore. \nThe focus will be three exhibitions held in New York in the 1990s—shows that set the terms for addressing the so-called Convivencia of 11th- and 12th-century Iberia/Al-Andalus. Facets of those foundational exhibitions will be addressed in relation to contemporary issues of museology and investigations of race in the pre-modern world. \nSpeakers \n\nJerrilynn Dodds\, Harlequin Adair Dammann Chair in Islamic Studies\, Sarah Lawrence College\nMariam Rosser-Owen\, curator\, Victoria & Albert Museum\nRisham Majeed\, associate professor\, Ithaca College\n\nModerator \n\nJulia Perratore\, assistant curator\, The Met Cloisters

SUMMARY:Jesuits and Boarding Schools: Truth\, Reconciliation\, Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:The Taking Responsibility project has a particular goal to highlight not only the history of Jesuit institutions and sexual abuse\, but also to ask how we can confront and handle this history and its many legacies in the present. Following up on last year’s online dialogue\, titled “Native American Communities and the Clerical Abuse Crisis\,” this event will bring together a Jesuit who has been deeply involved in this question along with two speakers who are leaders at—and in one case a graduate of—the Red Cloud Indian School\, now several years into a Truth and Healing process. The panel seeks to address the pressing question of what it means for today’s Jesuit institutions (and their employees\, students\, and graduates) to take responsibility for the full legacy of the Jesuits in North America.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Marc Gershow\, Ph.D.\, associate professor of physics and neuroscience at New York University\, will present “Are You Smarter Than A Maggot?” \nDespite having very few neurons (~104; humans have ~1011)\, the fruit fly larva’s brain is capable of sophisticated computations. The larva coordinates its movement\, navigates its environment\, integrates conflicting sensory inputs\, and learns from experience. Modern tools allow us to record and manipulate the activity of individual neurons in the larva’s brain\, and a “wiring diagram” made using electron microscopy provides a guide to understanding how information flows through “neural circuits.” Gershow will discuss his lab’s work in understanding some of the computations carried out by the larva’s brain and try to give a sense of why this work is being done in the physics department.

SUMMARY:Putting on Cologne: An Exploration of a Medieval City
DESCRIPTION:The medieval city of Cologne was a bustling metropolis and a hub of commerce. The city is better known for its economic prowess\, with Jews and Christians working side by side. But it is less known for its contribution to theology and canon law\, from the Jewish to the halakha and Jewish tradition. Nevertheless\, due to the city’s central location between England\, the Low Countries\, northern France\, and the German Rhineland\, it serves as a gauge for assessing many religious\, political\, and cultural processes in the high middle ages. Ephraim Shoham Steiner\, the 2021-2022 visiting scholar and a Fordham-NYPL Fellow in Jewish Studies\, and members of Fordham’s faculty in medieval studies will explore how Cologne served in this fashion\, drawing on examples from both medieval Christian and Jewish sources. \nShoham-Steiner is a professor of medieval Jewish history in the Department of Jewish History at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and an expert on urban life in Europe in the late Middle Ages. For 2021-2022\, he is the Fordham-NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies and a visiting scholar at Fordham University. 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 Jews and Crime in Medieval Europe (Wayne State University Press\, 2020). \nThis event is presented with Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies and the Leo Baeck Institute.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Robin Wigglesworth on Trillions: How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented the Index Fund and Changed Finance Forever
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime program with Robin Wigglesworth\, the Financial Times‘ global finance correspondent and author of Trillions\, as he discusses the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street’s scorn to launch the index fund revolution\, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees. \nFifty years ago\, the Manhattan Project of money management was quietly assembled in the financial industry’s backwaters\, unified by the heretical idea that even many of the world’s finest investors couldn’t beat the market in the long run. The motley crew of nerds—including Gene Fama\, Jack Bogle\, John McQuown\, and Nate Most—succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Passive investing now accounts for more than $20 trillion\, equal to the entire gross domestic product of the U.S.\, and today is a force reshaping markets\, finance\, and even capitalism itself in myriad subtle but pivotal ways. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Robin Wigglesworth \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRobin Wigglesworth is the FT’s global finance correspondent\, based in Oslo\, Norway. He focuses on the biggest forces reshaping the financial system\, with a particular focus on technological disruption and quantitative investing\, writing longer-form features\, analyses\, profiles\, and columns. He was previously the U.S. markets editor\, spearheading the outlet’s coverage of financial markets and asset management across the Americas\, deputy head of FastFT\, capital markets correspondent\, and Gulf correspondent. \nCopies of Trillions will be raffled off to attendees. \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:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Ioannis (John) Kymissis\, Ph.D.\, Kenneth Brayer Professor of Electrical Engineering and chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University SEAS\, will present\, “Electronics on Anything: How Thin Film Electronics can Instrument the World.” \nSilicon electronics have revolutionized the processing and handling of information. The high temperatures required to create crystalline silicon devices\, however\, have limited the application of crystalline silicon to sensing systems that work in a small and mechanically rigid form factor. The development of inorganic and organic thin-film electronics has launched a second revolution in electronics\, granting the ability to process electronically active materials at low temperatures. This has allowed for two exciting opportunities: the ability to build electronic devices on the same size scale as the systems they interact with\, and the ability to integrate electronic materials on a range of substrates including the back-end of CMOS integrated circuits\, electronically active substrates\, and flexible materials. \nOur group has been working on the hybrid integration of organic semiconductors\, thin-film piezoelectrics\, and laser-recrystallized silicon with active substrates to implement a range of new functionalities. In this presentation\, Kymissis will show how thin-film electronics and the hybrid integration enabled by new semiconductor systems and process options allow for active and spatially localized control of systems that are typically used in a single element format. Devices we have developed include single-chip PCR systems\, miniature spectrometers\, devices for blood flow analysis\, large-area and miniature microphones\, integrated on-chip filters\, and active matrix micro-LED displays. These approaches unlock new applications in health care\, sensing\, displays\, and communications. \nAbout the Speaker\nKymissis earned his B.S.\, M.Eng.\, and Ph.D. degrees from MIT. His M.Eng. thesis was performed as a co-op at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Lab on organic thin-film transistors\, and his Ph.D. was obtained in the Microsystems Technology Lab at MIT\, working on field-emission displays. After graduation\, he spent three years as a postdoc in MIT’s Laboratory for Organic Optics and Electronics\, working on a variety of organic electronic devices\, and also as a consulting engineer for QD Vision (later acquired by Samsung Electronics). He joined the faculty at Columbia University in electrical engineering in 2006 as an assistant professor. \nHe has won a number of awards for his work\, including the NSF CAREER award\, the IEEE EDS Paul Rappaport award\, the Vodaphone Americas Foundation Wireless Innovation Award\, the MIT Clean Energy Prize\, and a Verizon Powerful Answers award. A Society of Information Display (SID) fellow\, he recently served a term as the editor in chief of the Journal of the Society for Information Display. In addition\, he was the general chair for the 2014 Device Research Conference and was the program vice chair for the 2019 SID Display Week Symposium.

SUMMARY:Narrowing the Front Door to NYC’s Child Welfare System: COVID-19 Lessons Learned and Charting a Path Forward
DESCRIPTION:In New York City\, the COVID-19 shutdown forced a temporary but radical reduction in the child welfare system—halving the number of reports\, investigations\, and family separations\, reducing surveillance of families in their schools and in their homes\, and restricting support of voluntary preventive services. Early indications seem to suggest that this shutdown did not endanger children. Rates of substantiated abuse did not rise and\, in fact\, may have dipped; rates of substantiated neglect remained unchanged; and children stayed with their families and in their communities. We would like to take a look at this data together and see what solutions emerge.

SUMMARY:The Promise and Limits of Our First Amendment
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next panel event in Fordham University’s Speech Acts series. The First Amendment limits “state action”—what the government may and may not do—but not private action. In the context of increasing concentration of private speech power\, such as powerful social media platforms that are not governed by the First Amendment\, this panel discussion will consider defenses for and critiques of the state action doctrine\, along with comparative approaches. The discussion will also consider whether our robust constitutional free speech protections go too far in some instances\, failing to properly consider certain harms caused by speech. \nFeatured Speakers\nMary Anne Franks\, University of Miami\nGenevieve Lakier\, University of Chicago\nJulie Suk\, Fordham University\nNelson Tebbe\, Cornell University \nModerator\nAbner Greene\, Fordham University

SUMMARY:Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series in Jewish Studies: Elizabeth Polack\, Jewish Emancipation\, and the Archive of 19th-Century Melodrama
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Polack is the earliest-known female Jewish playwright in Britain. We know very little about her life\, but her entertaining melodramas in the late 1830s made a lasting impact; people were still talking about the spectacular murder mystery The Echo of Westminster Bridge well into the 20th century. They address such pressing issues as the struggle for the emancipation of the Jews and of women at a time when both were subjected to overwhelming legal and cultural disabilities. And they brought together in public theatres in largely Jewish neighborhoods both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences to mingle while enjoying such plays as Esther\, the Royal Jewess\, or the Death of Haman!\, even though it was clearly a Purimspiel as well as a melodrama. Although recovering a forgotten but significant Jewish woman writer is part of this project\, it also seeks to emphasize the value of Polack’s gathering diverse communities in the same playhouse to enjoy a theatrical performance. \nSharon Aronofsky Weltman is the director of comparative literature at Louisiana State University\, the Davis Alumni Professor of English\, and co-editor of Nineteenth-Century Theatre and Film. Her most recent book\, Victorians on Broadway: Literature\, Adaptation\, and the Modern American Musical (University of Virginia Press\, 2020)\, was named a “must-read” summer theater book by Playbill in 2020\, is a Top 40 academic best seller in theatre and music—according to Library Journal (March 2021)—and it won the 2021 SCMLA Book Prize. One chapter focuses on performing Jewishness in the musical Oliver! Her article titled “Melodrama\, Purimspiel\, and Jewish Emancipation” on the first Anglo-Jewish woman playwright won the 2020 Nineteenth-Century Studies Association Best Article Prize. In September and October 2021\, she visited the New York City Public Library’s collections on a Fordham-NYPL Short-Term Research Fellowship in Jewish Studies to work on Elizabeth Polack and her contemporaries. In April 2022\, she will begin participating in the Margaret Belcher Visiting Fellowship in Victorian Studies at St Hughs College\, Oxford University\, where she will continue her research on Polack.

SUMMARY:IPED 2021-2022 Lecture Series: The History of USAID
DESCRIPTION:Come hear John Norris speak about his new book\, Enduring Struggle: The History of the U.S. Agency for International Development and America’s Uneasy Transformation of the World. This book recounts with candor and thoughtful insight the successes and failures of America’s principal foreign assistance agency from its creation by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 through the administrations of the 10 presidents who succeeded him over the past 60 years. \nKennedy envisioned the Agency for International Development as an important actor in a shared struggle against “tyranny\, poverty\, disease\, and war itself.” This book tells the story of how the agency has endured through changing views about the role of development in U.S. foreign policy\, differing priorities and expectations of presidents\, political controversies\, competing theories of how to achieve economic and social progress\, scientific breakthroughs\, and persistent efforts far from the headlines of many who toiled over decades to help make the world a better place.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Daniel Peris on Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors
DESCRIPTION:We are in a time of enormous risk. Economic growth is anemic\, and political risk to the capital markets is on the rise. In the U.S.\, a generation of white-collar baby boomers is heading into retirement with insufficient assets in their 401(k) programs\, and industrial workers are stuck with materially underfunded pension plans. Against that backdrop\, the investing industry’s current set of practices and assumptions―modern portfolio theory (MPT)―is based on a half-century-old formula that is supposed to deliver the maximum amount of return for a given amount of risk. The trouble is that it doesn’t work very well. \nIn Getting Back to Business: Why Modern Portfolio Theory Fails Investors and How You Can Bring Common Sense to Your Portfolio\, dividend-investing guru Daniel Peris proposes a radical new approach―radical in that it does away with MPT in favor of a more intuitive\, common-sense approach practiced by business people in their own affairs every day: cash returns on cash investments. \nPeris will also discuss being a historian in a profession with a notably low historical sensibility. How did a historian of the early Soviet period end up as a portfolio manager with $25 billion under advisement\, a management team of 12\, and author of three books on dividend investing? \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Introductions: Sris Chatterjee\, professor and chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis; and James Kelly\, professor and director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Presentation: Daniel Peris \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: James Kelly \nAbout the Speaker\nDaniel Peris\, Ph.D.\, is senior vice president and senior portfolio manager at Federated-Hermes Inc.\, in Pittsburgh\, where he oversees $25 billion in dividend-focused portfolios. He is the author of three books on capital markets. \nBefore transitioning into asset management\, Peris was a historian focused on modern Russian history. In that capacity\, Peris was a Fulbright-Hays scholar in the former Soviet Union from 1991 to 1992 and held a post-doctoral fellowship at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University in 1995. Follow him on Twitter at @historyinvestor\, and visit his website at strategicdividendinvestor.com. \nCopies of Getting Back to Business will be raffled off to attendees. \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:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Sriram Ganeshan\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor at City College\, City University of New York (CCNY)\, will present\, “Chiral Hydrodynamics: From Active Matter to Quantum Hall Fluids.” \nOur understanding of the universal phenomenon in many-body systems ranging from subatomic to astronomical scales relies largely on the hydrodynamical framework. Thus\, the discovery of a new hydrodynamic effect opens new understanding in a multitude of physical systems. Such a new hydrodynamical effect recently has come from quantum Hall effect (QHE)\, where Avron\, Seiler\, and Zograf showed that the viscosity of QH fluid is purely dissipation-less and is the off-diagonal component of the total viscosity tensor\, dubbed “odd” or “Hall” viscosity. It turns out that odd viscosity is not limited to QH\, but a special symmetry allowed term of a parity broken system in two dimensions. In this talk\, Ganeshan will outline several fascinating fluid phenomena induced by odd viscosity terms\, such as “odd” torque\, “odd” surface waves. and “odd” bubbles\, and discuss their applicability in a wide class of systems ranging from chiral active matter to fractional quantum Hall effect.

SUMMARY:Distinguished Lecture in Economics with Stefanie Stantcheva: "How People Think about the Economy"
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present new evidence on how people think about economic policy issues leveraging large-scale social economics surveys and experiments in several countries. Professor Stefanie Stantcheva will specifically focus on support for redistribution policies and their link to immigration\, social mobility\, social positions\, understanding of policies\, and changes due to the pandemic. \nAbout the Speaker\nStefanie Stantcheva is a professor of economics at Harvard University. Her research focuses on how to improve the tax and transfer system for firms and individuals. She combines theory and empirics to study the effects of taxes and transfers on human capital\, capital\, migration\, and innovation—and how to incorporate these effects into our tax models. She also explores what drives people’s social preferences\, attitudes\, and perceptions using large-scale online surveys and experiments. Since May 2018\, she has been a member of the French Council of Economic Advisers (Conseil d’Analyse Economique). She received her Ph.D. in economics from MIT in 2014 and was a junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows from 2014 to 2016 before joining Harvard in July 2016.

SUMMARY:Judaism and Care Ethics: Possibilities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore the potential challenges faced by efforts to develop a Jewish approach to the ethics of care. In particular\, Sarah Zager will focus on the role that critiques of abstraction have played in both core texts in care ethics and in Jewish efforts to engage with these texts. She will begin by exploring the way anti-Judaism has shaped critiques of abstraction in care ethics\, before turning to how modifying or rejecting the critique of abstraction could be useful for Jewish engagements with care ethics. \nSarah Zager is a Ph.D. candidate in religious studies and philosophy at Yale University. Her dissertation\, titled “I Will Sing of Love and Justice: Jewish Responses to Virtue Ethics\,” explores how Jewish philosophers have combined deontological and virtue ethical approaches to morality. Her second book project\, tentatively titled “The Pain of Imagining Others: Infertility and Care\,” explores how Jewish sources can help us theorize experiences of infertility. \nThe Salo Baron New Voices in Jewish Studies lecture is supported by the generosity of the Salo W. and Jeannette M. Baron Foundation. Presented jointly by Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies and Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Viviana Acquaviva\, Ph.D.\, professor in the physics department at the CUNY NYC College of Technology and at the CUNY Graduate Center\, will present “Understanding the Universe Using Machine Learning.” \nAstronomy has truly become a “Big Data” science in the last few decades thanks to technological advances in telescopes development and the availability of space-based observations. Machine learning techniques are found to be increasingly useful in solving a variety of problems\, from the automatic classification of galaxy morphology and source identification in crowded fields to estimation of star and galaxy properties\, outlier recognition and anomaly detection\, and dimensionality reduction\, just to quote a few examples. In this talk\, Acquaviva will review some of the most notable applications of machine learning and deep learning to the analysis of astronomical data and present a few specific examples drawn from her research experience in analyzing galaxy spectra and training models on cosmological simulations.
