SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Nick Geiser\, FCRH ’17\, will present\, “What good is string theory? The Math & Physics of Strings.” \nString theory is the most promising candidate for the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity in a mathematically consistent framework. Moreover\, string theory is a well-established conceptual and computational tool that has been applied to a wide range of topics\, including particle physics\, astrophysics\, and pure mathematics. In this talk\, Geiser will present a lightning review of the fundamental theories of quantum mechanics (the standard model of particle physics) and gravity (general relativity) before introducing string theory as a consistent theory of quantum gravity. Geiser will then explore some basic stringy calculations\, encountering several famous mathematical objects\, such as the gamma function and the Riemann zeta function\, along the way. Finally\, Geiser will discuss the stringy origins of the “double-copy” between gauge theory and gravity and its application to colliding black holes. \nThis talk assumes familiarity with calculus (integrals).

SUMMARY:Discussion: Can We Talk About Racism?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Linda McClain about her book Who’s the Bigot? Learning from Conflicts over Marriage and Civil Rights Law. Talking productively about race is a central problem in our divided nation. While some celebrate diversity and inclusion\, others feel excluded and fear being tarred as bigots. The hope spawned by Barack Obama’s election was followed by the angry resentments of Trump’s MAGA followers. \nMcClain’s book traces the themes and rhetoric of prejudice\, bigotry\, ignorance\, and animus in the law and public debate over civil rights\, marriage\, and recognition of the rights of gays and lesbians. The Robert Kent Professor of Law at Boston University and a graduate of the University of Chicago Divinity School\, McClain’s careful history pays close attention to the participation of religious advocates in the developing law. \nMcClain will be joined in conversation by two writers who have reflected on the problems of bias among American Catholics and Latino Americans. LaSalle University Professor of Christian Ethics Maureen O’Connell plumbs her own family’s history in Undoing the Knots Five Generations of American Catholic Anti-Blackness. Tanya Kateri Hernandez too looks inward in her newly published Racial Innocence Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias and the Struggle for Equality. The Archibald R. Murray Professor of Law at Fordham\, she is also the author of Multiracials and Civil Rights. \nGeorge Conk\, a senior fellow at Fordham Law\, will moderate.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
DESCRIPTION:Completion of this class will result in the receipt of three (3) continuing education hours. \nApproximately 2.7 million grandparents in the United States are raising their grandchildren without a parent present\, with the majority raised only by the grandmother. The proportions of these grandparents are highest among Black\, Hispanic\, and Native-American families. Data from New York State show 122\,000 grandparents are raising their grandchildren\, and they are doing so informally\, outside of the foster care system. Factors contributing to grandparents’ caregiving include parental substance abuse\, incarceration\, child abuse/maltreatment\, mental illness\, and death. In addition\, when parents are unable to care for their child\, federal child placement laws specify a preference for placement with relatives\, and in most instances\, this is the grandparent. These families face many challenges including financial strain\, psychological and emotional stress\, and transitioning to their new roles. The COVID-19 pandemic further intensified these challenges as it impacted both generations. This workshop\, taught by Carole Cox\, Ph.D.\, will discuss the issues that confront these families and the social work interventions that can assist them. \nAbout the Instructor\nCarole Cox is a professor at the Graduate School of Social Service at Fordham University. She is a Fulbright Scholar and representative of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGGO) to the United Nations. She is the author of eight books and more than 60 chapters and journal articles\, with the majority focusing on older adults. For many years\, she worked specifically with grandparents raising grandchildren\, having developed and facilitated with the NYC Department for the Aging an empowerment training program for these caregivers. The recent COVID-19 pandemic put an extra strain on these families and the empowerment program was offered virtually. The program continues to be offered as it specifically addresses the needs of these families.

SUMMARY:IPED Lecture Series 2022-2023: A More Just Economic System
DESCRIPTION:A growing chorus of economists and politicians is demanding a new paradigm to create a global economy for the common good. In his recent book Cathonomics\, Anthony M. Annett unites insights in economics with those from theology\, philosophy\, climate science\, and psychology\, exposing the failures of neoliberalism while offering us a new model rooted in the wisdom of Catholic social teaching and classical ethical traditions. Drawing from the work of Pope Leo XIII\, Pope Francis\, Thomas Aquinas\, and Aristotle\, Annett applies these teachings to discuss current economic challenges such as inequality\, unemployment and underemployment\, climate change\, and the roles of business and finance. \nAnnett is a Gabelli fellow at Fordham University and a senior adviser at the Sustainable Development Solutions Network. He has a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University and spent two decades at the International Monetary Fund\, where he worked as a speechwriter to the managing director. He is also a member of the College of Fellows of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Koenigsmann\, Ph.D.\, associate professor\, in the chemistry department at Fordham University\, will present\, “Designing New Nanomaterials for Renewable Energy and Sensor Applications.” \nA key technological shortfall in the development of practical renewable energy and sensor devices is the high cost and poor durability of the precious metal catalysts that drive electrochemical reactions within operating devices. This has hindered the widespread\, commercialization of platinum-based catalysts in blood-glucose meters and in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells in automobiles. In light of these challenges\, there is a broad effort to design precious metal electrocatalysts and their supports at the nanoscale leading to considerable advancements in catalysts performance. In recent work\, we have focused our efforts on employing solution-based methods to produce alloy-type Pt-based nanostructures with tunable structure\, size\, and composition. The electrochemical properties and electrocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction and the oxidation of small organic molecules are examined as a function of the structure of the active sites at the catalytic interface.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Bob Pisani on Shut Up and Keep Talking: Lessons on Life and Investing from the Floor of the New York Stock Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Bob Pisani has spent the past 25 years working on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. He has been on the front line of finance for all the major events of the last quarter-century\, including the Asian Financial Crisis\, the dot-com bubble and collapse\, 9/11\, and the Great Financial Crisis. What was it like to witness these events firsthand\, at the center of the financial world? \nIn Shut Up and Keep Talking\, Pisani tells captivating stories that reveal what he has learned about life and investing. These include encounters with a host of stars\, world leaders\, and CEOs\, including Fidel Castro\, Robert Downey Jr.\, Walter Cronkite\, Aretha Franklin\, Barry Manilow\, Jack Ma\, Joey Ramone\, and many more. \nPisani describes how the investment world has changed: brokers shouting on the floor of the NYSE; fully electronic trading; investment sages and superstars picking stocks for exorbitant fees; the phenomenal rise of low-cost index funds that are saving investors millions; the belief that investors make rational decisions; and the new age of behavioral finance\, which recognizes the often-irrational nature of human decision-making and seeks to understand its role in the stock market. Pisani also considers what really moves stocks up and down and tackles the big questions: Why is stock-picking so hard?

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Ronald L. Koder\, Ph.D.\, the James Peace Professor of Physics at the City College of New York\, will present “Utilizing Disorder in Natural and Designed Proteins and Enzymes.” \nThe largest destabilizing force in biopolymer folding is the inescapable configurational entropy loss in going from a disordered unfolded state to an ordered folded state. One way that the energy is minimized in evolution is by using the minimum degree of order in the folded state that is necessary for a specific function. Koder will outline his experiments in introducing this disorder in designed electron transfer enzymes; his utilization of disorder to create high signal sensing platforms that we have used to detect chemical- and bio-terror weapons\, cancer biomarkers\, and cytokines central to COVID-19; and recent biophysical analyses of the human protein elastin— the protein responsible for the elasticity of arterial walls whose entropic elasticity is critical to cardiovascular function.

SUMMARY:The Jewish Female Body in Argentine Cinema: Modernization\, Desire\, and Difference in the Late 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:The second half of the 20th century marks shifts in the representation of Jewish women in Argentine cinema. During the first half of the 1960s\, a time when Argentina´s film culture was transformed by the decisive influence of European film modernism but also a time of rarified political climate in which the Eichmann affaire catalyzed a growing wave of antisemitism\, Argentine cinema produced an image of the Jewish woman as a modernizing figure. Along with the Jewish young man—shown as the modernist intellectual\, the progressive political militant— the Jewish young woman\, the sister\, the daughter was a transgressive and sexualized character\, shown as desirous of and desired by non-Jewish men. In the post-dictatorial 1980s\, the Jewish female appears again as a transgressive element in popular culture. At the times of the so-called destape\, the cultural disinhibition that followed decades of political and cultural repression\, the “Russian girl”\, the “Polish girl”\, the “girl from the Zwi Migdal” emerged as part of a constellation of disruptive elements in the convulsed Argentine democracy. This presentation will explore these two figurations of the Jewish woman in the specific context of Argentine cinema while aiming to trace similarities and resonances in other film cultures and specifically in American film. \nDébora Kantor has a degree in political science\, an M.A. in cultural sociology and is a Ph.D. candidate at the Social Sciences Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). Her doctoral research\, focused on the representation of Jewish characters and Jewishness in Argentine modern and contemporary film\, is funded by the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) of Argentina.

SUMMARY:James McAuley on His Book The House of Fragile Things: Jewish Art Collectors and the Fall of France
DESCRIPTION:During the French Third Republic\, which emerged in 1870 and ended in 1940\, French Jews\, according to James McAuley\, “enjoyed a greater level of civic engagement and public visibility … than at any other point in modern French history.” They saw their Frenchness and Jewishness as symbiotic\, not contradictory. Those most affluent invested their fortunes in France’s cultural artifacts\, built museums\, and sacrificed their sons to the country’s army. But their commitment to France was rejected\, their collections ultimately plundered\, and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps. \nIn his talk and in his book The House of Fragile Things\, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the identity of French Jews in the fin-de-siècle. Weaving together narratives of various figures\, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust —the Camondos\, the Rothschilds\, the Ephrussis\, the Cahens d’Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: They were often accused of “invading” France’s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were a response to tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them. \nJames McAuley is the Paris correspondent for the Washington Post and a contributor to the New York Review of Books. He recently received his doctorate in French history at Oxford.

SUMMARY:New Nukes and New Risks: The Peril of Nuclear Weapons in an Unstable World
DESCRIPTION:Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has pushed the threat of nuclear destruction back onto the front pages and into our collective consciousness. In reality\, that threat had never gone away but had been superseded in the public mind by such crises as climate change and political turmoil elsewhere. \nThis discussion among leading experts on nuclear weapons will gauge the risks the world faces today and\, in particular\, what Catholic peacemaking efforts—led by Pope Francis—can do. The event follows the recent United Nations review of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the annual General Assembly of the U.N.\, which spotlighted the nuclear threat. \nOur panel includes a former high-ranking NATO official\, a diplomat from Mexico who specializes in international law\, a Catholic University of America ethicist\, and the Vatican’s representative to the United Nations\, who will outline the contributions Pope Francis is making to the push for a non-nuclear future. \nPanelists \nRose Gottemoeller is the former deputy secretary general of NATO and served nearly five years as the U.S. Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. She is currently a lecturer at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University. \nMaryann Cusimano Love is an associate professor of international relations at the Catholic University of America. She has written widely on the ethics of war and weaponry and advises both the U.S. government and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on foreign policy issues. \nJuan Manuel Gómez-Robledo is the deputy permanent representative of Mexico to the United Nations and a member of the U.N.’s International Law Commission. He has extensive experience in disarmament issues. \nArchbishop Gabriele Caccia was named by Pope Francis to serve as the Holy See’s Permanent Observer to the United Nations in November 2019. He is a priest of the Archdiocese of Milan who has served the Vatican in many diplomatic posts around the world. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the audience. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Catholic Peacebuilding Network and the Project on Revitalizing Catholic Engagement on Nuclear Disarmament. \n

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Terrence Keeley on Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:The global economy is at a crossroads. Can finance fix it? Proponents of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) investing say yes. They claim that new financial strategies that consider all stakeholders are essential tools for addressing runaway carbon emissions and stark income inequality\, among other ills. ESG-integrated investments already encompass more than $120 trillion in financial assets. Is this approach really leading to better social and environmental outcomes for all? If not\, how can it be improved? \nIn Sustainable\, a finance industry veteran offers an insider’s look at the promises\, prospects\, and limitations of ESG investing and provides comprehensive solutions that would promote more optimal outcomes. Terrence Keeley argues that both activist and C-suite advocates have been overly optimistic about what ESG can accomplish. Divestment threats are ineffective tools for altering corporate behavior\, and verifiably “good” companies do not systematically generate great returns. Most importantly\, business and finance cannot achieve inclusive\, sustainable growth on their own: Regulators\, public policies\, civil society\, and individuals must all play specific\, complementary roles to shape the future we need. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Terrence Keeley \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Author\nTerrence Keeley has been an adviser to the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds\, national pension plans\, endowments\, foundations\, and asset managers for more than three decades as a senior client officer at BlackRock and UBS Investment Bank. In 2021\, he was named a leading global “Knowledge Broker” by Chief Investment Officer. \nCopies of Sustainable: Moving Beyond ESG to Impact Investing 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 & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Pedro Espino\, Ph.D.\, FCRH ’12\, presently a postdoctoral researcher at the Pennsylvania State University Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmo\, will present “Neutron Stars as Ideal Physics Laboratories.” \nThe environments associated with neutron stars are unique sites with physical phenomena operating on many different energy and length scales. Neutron stars are ideal laboratories where we can test all of the fundamental interactions in nature\, including (1) gravity: neutron stars are objects with immense gravity\, and the merger of binary neutron stars has led to detections of gravitational waves; (2) electromagnetism: the magnetic fields produced in binary neutron star mergers are thought to be the strongest in the universe and are responsible for bright astronomical transients; (3) weak interactions: neutron stars are sites of high neutrino luminosity and neutrinos may play a crucial role in binary neutron star mergers; (4) strong interactions: it is possible that a deconfinement phase transition takes place in the densest regions of neutron stars and their mergers. \nEspino will discuss numerical simulations in which each of these interactions plays a central role\, as well as highlight some open questions in neutron star research.
