SUMMARY:IPED CFR Series: Global Climate Policy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Council on Foreign Relations Academic Conference Call with Jody Freeman\, the Archibald Cox Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and a leading scholar of administrative law and environmental law. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, a fellow of the American College of Environmental Lawyers\, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Freeman served as counselor for energy and climate change during President Barack Obama’s administration\, from 2009 to 2010. \nProfessor Freeman has written extensively about climate change\, environmental regulation\, and executive power. She is also known for her early work on “collaborative governance\,” which helped to establish a field focused on public-private approaches to regulatory problems. She has served as a member of the Administrative Conference of the United States\, an expert body that advises the federal government on how to improve the regulatory and administrative process. At Harvard Law School\, she is the founding director of the Environmental and Energy Law program\, a pioneering research center on climate and energy policy. She also established the law school’s first environmental law clinic. \nFreeman has been recognized as the second-most-cited scholar in public law in the nation. Her book\, Global Climate Change and U.S. Law (co-edited with Michael Gerrard)\, was published in 2015\, and she has produced several other books on topics ranging from market mechanisms of environmental regulation to privatization of government functions. She is widely published in leading American law reviews and co-authors a leading casebook in administrative law. A volume of her administrative law articles was published in Chinese in 2010. \nWhile in the White House\, Freeman was the architect of the president’s historic agreement with the auto industry to double fuel efficiency standards and set the first federal greenhouse gas standards\, which launched the Obama administration’s climate program under the Clean Air Act. She also contributed to a host of initiatives on renewable energy\, energy efficiency\, transmission policy\, and oil and gas drilling\, as well as the administration’s effort to pass legislation placing a market-based cap on carbon. After leaving the administration\, she served as an independent consultant to the president’s bipartisan commission on the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico\, advising the commission on structural reforms at the Department of the Interior. \nIn addition to her duties at Harvard Law School\, Freeman is an independent director of ConocoPhillips\, where she chairs the Public Policy Committee and serves on the Directors’ Affairs and Executive committees. She also serves on the Advisory Council of the Electric Power Research Institute\, advising the electricity industry on technology gaps and broader social needs that would benefit from pioneering research. \nProfessor Freeman consults regularly for government and nongovernmental parties\, advising on litigation and regulatory strategy. She has lectured broadly around the world\, including at the Nobel Institute\, and in Asia and Europe. She can be heard regularly on NPR and on various podcasts on public affairs\, has appeared on MSNBC and CNN\, and has written for The New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, Guardian\, Los Angeles Times\, Politico\, Vox\, and Foreign Affairs.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Social\, Economic\, and Sustainable Practices to Foster Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:The impending doom of climate change has dominated global discourse in recent times. It revolves around finding a sustainable solution to the equitable dispensation of scarce natural resources.

COVID-19 exacerbated the situation and painted a clearer picture of these terrible issues. \nTo search for solutions\, we will host a conversation with experts to explore novel strategies to cure the irreversible\, imminent\, and global disaster. \nSpeakers \n\nRabbi Daniel Swartz\, executive director at the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life\nShabd Singh\, political organizer and advocate from Washington\, D.C.\nRaya Salter\, adjunct professor of law at Benjamin N.

SUMMARY:What is Leadership? A Fireside Chat with Schwarzman Scholars
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to be a leader in the 21st century? Who are leaders that you admire and wish to emulate? The word “leadership” doesn’t always mean the same thing across languages\, cultures\, and communities. Regardless\, we might all agree that leadership is a multidimensional set of actions and behaviors. How might you map your experiences onto your concept of leadership in this fast-paced\, ever-changing world? In this discussion\, we will explore how to build your own leadership narrative and showcase your skills to competitive fellowships like Schwarzman Scholars. A recording will be sent to all who register.

SUMMARY:Remnants: Photographs of the Jewish Bronx by Julian Voloj
DESCRIPTION:The Ten Commandments in the façade of a supermarket\, a Star of David above the entrance of a Baptist church\, a Hebrew date in the cornerstone of an apartment building. Nearly two decades ago\, photographer and writer Julian Voloj started to create images of Jewish traces\, remnants of a once-thriving Jewish culture—not in Poland\, Ukraine\, or other countries that today are places of pilgrimage for American Jewish heritage tourists\, but in his adopted hometown of New York City\, home of the largest Jewish diaspora in the world. His fascination with formerly Jewish neighborhoods stems from his own upbringing growing up Jewish in Germany\, where he himself felt like a remnant of a once-thriving culture. \nThe exhibition at Fordham University will focus on sights in the Bronx and also include portraits from his series on New York Jewish identity and diversity. \nJulian Voloj is an award-winning writer and photographer. Born in Germany to Colombian parents\, his work has been featured in publications including The New York Times\, Washington Post\, and Rolling Stone\, as well as in other national and international publications\, such as El País\, Neue Zürcher Zeitung\, Frankfurter Allgemeine\, the Jerusalem Post\, and more.

SUMMARY:Academic Discourse and Freedom of Expression on Campus
DESCRIPTION:This is the eighth and final event in Speech Acts\, a series of talks at Fordham University focusing on questions related to free speech\, political polarization\, the place of truth in an age of social media\, and related topics. \nFree speech on university campuses is a matter that is\, in some sense quite simple\, but in many ways complex. This panel will consider a variety of issues involving student and faculty speech\, including the questions below. Please join us for this important panel! \nMany universities regulate student hateful or offensive speech\, but in what way? What associational rights should students have on campus\, such as the formation of student groups with university recognition\, and physical spaces on campus for group members to meet without having to be open to non-members? What limits\, if any\, should there be on student groups inviting outside speakers? May universities insist that faculty speak (or not speak) in certain ways in the classroom? That faculty include (or not include) certain materials in the curriculum? How should and may universities respond to faculty who speak to a public audience outside of their official campus teaching duties (say\, on Twitter) but to another audience on campus\, particularly when teaching? Specifically: May universities discipline faculty for egregious speech on social media when the faculty member is not repeating such speech with students? \nFeatured Speakers \n\nSigal Ben-Porath\, University of Pennsylvania\nRadhika Sainath\, Palestine Legal\nDennis Tyler\, Fordham University\nRafael Zapata\, Fordham University\nModerator: Abner Greene\, professor\, Fordham Law

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Thrall\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at Fordham University\, will present “Overcoming Obstacles: Visualizing How the DNA Replication Machinery Bypasses DNA Damage.” \nAcross all domains of life\, DNA is replicated by a multi-protein complex known as the replisome. At the center of the replisome are DNA polymerases\, the enzymes that synthesize new DNA strands using the parental DNA as a template. Although the replisome efficiently and accurately copies undamaged DNA\, it can be blocked by unrepaired lesions on the DNA template. The DNA damage tolerance pathway translesion synthesis (TLS) allows cells to alleviate this potentially lethal blockade. In TLS\, specialized DNA polymerases gain access to the template\, bypass the damage\, and then relinquish the template to allow the replisome to continue normal DNA synthesis. Because TLS polymerases are error-prone\, however\, their access to the template must be tightly regulated to avoid harmful mutations. Using particle-tracking photoactivation localization microscopy (PALM)\, we visualize the behavior of single molecules of the TLS polymerase Pol IV in live Escherichia coli cells. We show that Pol IV is not strongly enriched near sites of DNA replication in normally growing cells but instead is recruited in response to DNA damage. Further\, we identify the protein-protein interactions that are important for this recruitment. These results suggest a mechanism by which the cell limits access of Pol IV to the DNA template\, minimizing unnecessary mutagenesis.

SUMMARY:Diamonds and Rags: One Hasidic Gem Broker’s Quest for Precarity
DESCRIPTION:The wholesale trade and manufacturing of diamonds\, which once supported the vast majority of Antwerp’s Jewish male workforce\, has steadily relocated to less-regulated zones in the “midstream pipeline” of the diamond supply chain. This lecture draws upon extended ethnographic fieldwork that Sam Shuman conducted with diamond traders\, brokers\, manufacturers\, and artisans from 2017 to 2019 across the global diamond supply chain. \nShuman will focus on the story of Lazer\, a Hasidic rough diamond broker in Antwerp\, Belgium\, who\, like many people in today’s economy\, faces disintermediation—being cut out as a middleman or intermediary in an industry or global supply chain. In the wake of this uncertainty\, Lazer articulates an economic theology in which God intentionally places Jews in a constant state of dependence. According to Lazer’s economic theology\, God intentionally disperses provisions that never last; followers must\, in turn\, constantly beg God for more provisions. God does not desire supplicants to ever accumulate wealth. Accumulation of wealth is neither a sign of God’s election nor an assurance of future success. Here\, Shuman offers an intimate ethnographic portrait of how ancient rabbinic texts are being reimagined in the 21st century. Shuman explores how economic theology operates within the commercial world of the diamond industry and within contemporary Hasidic cosmologies of wealth\, dependence\, risk\, and security. \nSam Shuman is currently the Rabin-Shvidler Postdoctoral Fellow at Fordham and Columbia. Shuman is an anthropologist of race\, religion\, and political economy who researches global Jewish mobility\, trade\, and empire. Their dissertation\, “Cutting Out the Middleman: The Diamond Industry & the Politics of Displacement in a European Port City\,” explores cooperation and competition between and across diasporic trading groups to hold control over the wholesale diamond trade as the state reasserts its control. In so doing\, it reveals not only the struggle over power between trading diasporas but also between state and diaspora. Shuman is certified as a polished diamond grader and has conducted more than 18 months of fieldwork among wholesale diamond traders\, brokers\, and manufacturers in Antwerp\, Ramat Gan\, Mumbai\, and Surat. Their research has been funded by Fulbright\, the National Science Foundation\, and the Social Science Research Council. They received their Ph.D. in sociocultural anthropology\, with a graduate certificate in Judaic studies\, from the University of Michigan in 2021. Their work has appeared in Religions\, Images: A Journal of Jewish Art and Visual Culture\, The Jewish Quarterly (UK)\, and is forthcoming in Feminist Studies in Religion.

SUMMARY:The Power of the Crucified: Insights from Liberation & Womanist Theology
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture presented by Andrew Prevot\, Boston College. \nTheologians have discerned the presence of the crucified Christ in oppressed peoples. They have wrestled with challenging questions about how to understand such crucified groups not only as victims but also as Christologically empowered agents of salvation. Drawing on the works of Ignacio Ellacuría and M. Shawn Copeland\, this paper develops a liberationist\, womanist perspective on the power of the crucified.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Esquivel\, Ph.D.\, associate scientist within the particle physics division in Fermilab’s Muon Department\, will present\, “Can Wobbling Muons Probe Physics Beyond the Standard Model? Fermilab’s Muon g-2 Run 1 Results.” \nOn April 7\, 2021\, Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment announced its first results of the precision measurement of the anomalous muon magnetic moment based on its 2018 Run-1 dataset. These results align with the Brookhaven National Laboratory experimental value\, and the combined values increase the tension between experiment and theory from 3.7 to 4.2 sigma. This talk will give an overview of the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment\, discuss the steps necessary to precisely measure wobbling muons\, why this result has the physics community abuzz\, and what’s next. \nAbout the Speaker\nEsquivel has recently been promoted to associate scientist at Fermilab\, where she works on the Muon g-2 experiment. She is one of roughly 100 Black women with a Ph.D. in physics in the country\, the second black woman to graduate with a Ph.D. in physics from Syracuse University\, and the third Black woman to hold an associate scientist position at Fermilab. She identifies as female\, Black\, Mexican\, lesbian\, neurodivergent\, a physicist\, and Texan. Esquivel is a recognized advocate for creating just and equitable spaces in physics and focuses on the intersections of race\, gender\, and sexuality in her community-engagement efforts. She is a member of APS-IDEA\, co-founder of BlackInPhysics\, part of the Change-Now collective\, and is an AAAS IF/THEN Ambassador. Esquivel has also appeared on CBS’s Emmy-nominated educational program Mission Unstoppable\, on which she discussed the physics behind makeup\, and on the Science Channel’s How the Universe Works\, on which she discussed how neutrinos could be the key to the mysteries of our universe.

SUMMARY:The Forgotten Violence of the 20th Century: A Conversation About Trauma\, History\, and Forgetting with Elissa Bemporad\, Jaclyn Granick\, and Jefferey Veidlinger
DESCRIPTION:The 20th century was marked by mass violence\, with the Shoah and World War II dominating historical memory. But decades before the Shoah\, other instances of mass violence took place with tens—if not hundreds—of thousands of Jews massacred in eastern Europe. Scholars and readers of Jewish history know and remember the pogroms of 1881\, the Kishinev pogrom\, and the pogroms of 1905\, but the violence that followed the Great War\, or as we now call it World War I\, has largely been forgotten. Three recent books have recovered this traumatic past: Elissa Bemporad’s Legacy of Blood: Jews\, Pogroms\, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets (2019)\, Jaclyn Granick’s International Jewish Humanitarianism in the Age of the Great War (2021)\, and Jefferey Veidlinger’s In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918–1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust (2021). This panel will explore the forgotten violence\, its history\, and its legacy. \nElissa Bemporad is the Ungar Chair in East European Jewish History and the Holocaust\, and is a professor of history at both Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center. She is a two-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award. She is the author of Becoming Soviet Jews: The Bolshevik Experiment in Minsk (2013) and Legacy of Blood: Jews\, Pogroms\, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets (2019). Bemporad is the co-editor of two volumes: Women and Genocide: Survivors\, Victims\, Perpetrators (2018) and Pogroms: A Documentary History (Oxford University Press\, 2021). \nJaclyn Granick is a lecturer in modern Jewish history at Cardiff University in Wales\, United Kingdom. She is the author of International Jewish Humanitarianism in the Age of the Great War (Cambridge\, 2021) and co-editor of a special issue of the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies titled Gendering Jewish Inter/Nationalism (2022). She is currently serving as co-investigator of the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded Jewish Country Houses research project. \nJeffrey Veidlinger is the Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the author of In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918-1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust and the award-winning books The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage (2000)\, Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire (2009)\, and In the Shadow of the Shtetl: Small-Town Jewish Life in Soviet Ukraine (2013). He is the editor of Going to the People: Jews and Ethnographic Impulse (2016). = Veidlinger is chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History\, a member of the executive committee of the American Academy for Jewish Research\, and a former vice president of the Association for Jewish Studies\, \nThe discussion will be moderated by Magda Teter\, the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University and the author of Blood Libel: On The Trail of an Antisemitic Myth (Harvard\, 2020)\, Sinners on Trial: Jews and Sacrilege after the Reformation (Harvard\, 2011)\, and Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland (Cambridge\, 2006).

SUMMARY:Taking Responsibility: Jesuit Educational Institutions Confront the Causes and Legacy of Clergy Sexual Abuse Keynote Plenary Panel
DESCRIPTION:This panel features five distinguished speakers addressing the core questions of the Taking Responsibility project. They will help us ask how to confront and handle the history of clerical sexual abuse and its many legacies in the present. This event brings together one of the foremost researchers on clerical sexual abuse in the United States\, a Jesuit who is also a survivor of clerical sexual abuse and whose research is directed at the crisis\, two well-known writers who are survivors and who have deep ties to Jesuit educational institutions\, including Fordham\, and the director of a major Truth and Healing initiative at a Jesuit-sponsored high school for Native American students. \nFrom their own perspectives\, each member of this group will reflect on the long and recent history of the sexual abuse crisis. We are honored to host these colleagues as they address the pressing question of what it means for today’s Jesuit institutions (and their employees\, students\, and graduates) to take responsibility for addressing and redressing the bitter legacy of clerical sexual abuse.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Song Searcher
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion on Song Searcher\, a documentary about Moyshe Beregovsky\, a musician and scholar\, who traveled across Ukraine during the most dramatic years of Soviet history with a phonograph to record and study the traditional music of Ukrainian Jews. His work began in the 1920s and ended with his arrest and imprisonment in a Stalinist labor camp in 1950. Most of the songs he recorded on hundreds of fragile wax cylinders were deemed destroyed. But Beregovsky succeeded in saving the musical heritage of the centuries-old Yiddish civilization. He rescued the living voice of Ukrainian Jews from the flames of the Holocaust but paid for it with his life. \nPanelists \n\nAnna Shternishis\, University of Toronto\nLyudmila Sholokhova\, New York Public Library Dorot Jewish Division\nMark Slobin\, Wesleyan University\nGennady Estraikh\, New York University\n\nA password-protected link to a virtual screening of the film and a Zoom link to the panel discussion will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Roger Lowenstein on Ways and Means: Lincoln and His Cabinet and the Financing of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with renowned journalist and master storyteller Roger Lowenstein\, as he discusses his revelatory financial investigation into how President Abraham Lincoln and his administration used the funding of the Civil War as the catalyst to centralize the government and accomplish the most far-reaching reform in the country’s history. \nLincoln inherited a country in crisis. Even before the Confederacy’s secession\, the U.S. Treasury had run out of money. The government had no authority to raise taxes\, no federal bank\, and no currency. But amid unprecedented troubles\, Lincoln saw an opportunity: the chance to legislate in the centralizing spirit of the “more perfect union” that had first drawn him to politics. With Lincoln at the helm\, the United States would now govern “for” its people: it would enact laws\, establish a currency\, raise armies\, underwrite transportation and higher education\, assist farmers\, and impose taxes. Lincoln believed this agenda would foster the economic opportunity he had always sought for upwardly striving Americans. \nSalmon Chase\, Lincoln’s vanquished rival and his new secretary of the Treasury\, waged war on the financial front\, levying taxes and marketing bonds while desperately battling to contain wartime inflation. And while the Union and rebel armies fought increasingly savage battles\, the Republican-led Congress enacted a blizzard of legislation that made the government\, for the first time\, a powerful presence in the lives of ordinary Americans. The impact was revolutionary. The activist 37th Congress legislated for homesteads and a transcontinental railroad and involved the federal government in education\, agriculture\, and eventually immigration policy. It established a progressive income tax and created the greenback—paper money. While the Union became self-sustaining\, the South plunged into financial free fall\, having failed to leverage its cotton wealth to finance the war. Founded in a crucible of anti-centralism\, the Confederacy was trapped in a static (and slave-based) agrarian economy without federal taxing power or other means of government financing\, save for its overworked printing presses. This led to an epic collapse. Though Confederate troops continued to hold their own\, the North’s financial advantage over the South\, where citizens increasingly went hungry\, proved decisive; the war was won as much (or more) in the respective treasuries as on the battlefields. \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: Roger Lowenstein \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRoger Lowenstein reported for The Wall Street Journal for more than a decade. His work also has appeared in Bloomberg\, The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Fortune\, The Atlantic\, and the New York Review of Books. In addition to Ways and Means\, his books include the NYT bestsellers Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist\, When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management\, and The End of Wall Street\, as well as the critically acclaimed Origins of the Crash: The Great Bubble and Its Undoing\, While America Aged\, and America’s Bank: The Epic Struggle to Create the Federal Reserve. \nCopies of Ways and Means 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.
