SUMMARY:“Unearthing Buried Narratives: Reconstructing the Experiences of Enslaved People Through Jesuit Records”
DESCRIPTION:Recalling the Catholic enslaved experience reveals new patterns about enslavement within the Catholic Church and the instrumental ways enslaved people formed community\, resisted their enslavement\, and shaped their faith. Prize-winning scholar Kelly L. Schmidt\, Ph.D.\, invites the audience to engage with records about enslaved people in Jesuit archives\, cross-referencing them and reading against the grain to discover the limitations resulting from enslaved people being prevented from keeping records about their own lives.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Thomas Peterffy in Conversation with Bob Pisani
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Thomas Peterffy\, chairman and founder of Interactive Brokers Group Inc.\, a global electronic brokerage firm with a market capitalization of more than $30 billion. Peterffy will be interviewed by CNBC senior markets correspondent Bob Pisani. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American Finance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Thomas Peterffy and Bob Pisani \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speakers\nThomas Peterffy has been at the forefront of applying computer technology to automate trading and brokerage functions since soon after he emigrated from Hungary to the United States in 1965. In 1977\, after purchasing a seat on the American Stock Exchange and trading as an individual market maker in equity options\, Peterffy was among the first to apply a computerized mathematical model that would disseminate continuous bid and offer\nprices. Five years later\, he built and ran an automated trading system for equity options and\, in 1983\, he was the first to develop a tablet computer for use by his employees trading on exchange floors. \nBy 1986\, Peterffy developed and employed a fully integrated\, automated\, market-making system for stocks\, options\, and futures. As this pioneering system extended around the globe\, online brokerage functions were added. In 1993\, Interactive Brokers was formed\, using its global capacity for transaction processing to link up with the electronic exchanges that were starting up around the world. Today\, Interactive Brokers seeks to stay at\nthe forefront of automation and to remain the low-cost producer. It is the second-largest publicly traded electronic broker\, as measured by DARTs\, providing direct access trade execution and clearing services to institutional and professional traders for a wide variety of electronically traded products\, including stocks\, options\, futures\, forex\, bonds\, CFDs\, and funds on more than 135 trading venues and 27 currencies around the world. \nBob Pisani is senior markets correspondent for CNBC. A CNBC reporter since 1990\, Pisani has covered Wall Street and the stock market for nearly 20 years. He covered the real estate market for CNBC from 1990-1995\, then moved on to cover corporate management issues before becoming a stocks correspondent in 1997. In addition to covering the global stock market\, he also covers initial public offerings\, exchange-traded funds\, and financial market structure for CNBC. \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:Centennial Speaker Series: Zachary Karabell on Inside Money: Brown Brothers Harriman and the American Way of Power
DESCRIPTION:Conspiracy theories have always swirled around Brown Brothers Harriman\, and not without reason. Throughout the 19th century\, when America was convulsed by a devastating financial panic essentially every 20 years\, Brown Brothers quietly went from strength to strength\, propping up the U.S. financial system at crucial moments and catalyzing successive booms\, from the cotton trade and the steamship to the railroad\, while largely managing to avoid the unwelcome attention that plagued some of its competitors. By the turn of the 20th century\, Brown Brothers was unquestionably at the heart of what was meant by an “American Establishment.” As America’s reach extended beyond its shores\, Brown Brothers worked hand in glove with the State Department\, notably in Nicaragua in the early 20th century\, where the firm essentially took over the country’s economy. To the Brown family\, the virtue of their dealings was a given; their form of muscular Protestantism\, forged on the playing fields of Groton and Yale\, was the acme of civilization\, and it was their duty to import that civilization to the world. \nIn Inside Money\, acclaimed historian\, commentator\, and former financial executive Zachary Karabell offers the first full and frank look inside this institution against the backdrop of American history. Provided with complete access to the company’s archives\, as well as a thrilling understanding of the larger forces at play\, Karabell has created an X-ray of American power—financial\, political\, cultural—as it has evolved from the early 1800s to the present. Today\, unlike many of its competitors\, Brown Brothers Harriman remains a private partnership and a beacon of sustainable capitalism\, having forgone the heady speculative upsides of the past 30 years but also having avoided any role in the devastating downsides. The firm is no longer in the command capsule of the American economy\, but\, arguably\, that is to its credit. If its partners cleaved to any one adage over the generations\, it is that a relentless pursuit of more can destroy more than it creates. \nAbout the Speakers\nZachary Karabell was educated at Columbia\, Oxford\, and Harvard\, where he received his Ph.D. He is a prolific commentator\, both in print and on television\, and the author of a dozen previous books\, including The Last Campaign\, which won the Chicago Tribune’s Heartland Prize\, and The Leading Indicators. He is also a longtime investor\, former financial services executive\, and the founder of the Progress Network. \nCopies of Inside Money 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:Power and the Cross: The Rise of Agricultural People’s Front of Peru in Peruvian Politics
DESCRIPTION:The participation of the Agricultural People’s Front of Peru or Frente Popular Agricola del Peru (FREPAP) in Peruvian national politics arose from the combination of American expansionism\, the growth of evangelical Christianity\, and the emergence of a strong Israelite movement in South America. \nQuestions and concerns have emerged about the cult-like organization and activities of FREPAP and other Peruvian evangelical groups. Although their mainstream impact is not significant\, their presence\, force\, and participation in Latin American politics cannot be ignored. \nUsing a theological and sociological framework\, Duffy Fellow Carlos Orbegoso Barrios\, FCRH ’21\, will draw conclusions on the future of FREPAP and the impact of similar parties and movements in Latin America. Barrios double majored in theology and economics. \nThis is a Duffy Fellows program event.

SUMMARY:The Luminous Religion: How was Christianity Translated into Chinese?
DESCRIPTION:China is known for three major faith traditions: Buddhism\, Daoism\, and Confucianism. Did you know that there has also been a Christian presence in China since A.D. 635? Alongside traded goods\, Christianity traveled into East Asia via the Silk Road. Persian monks from what is now Iraq\, Syria\, and Iran gained the support of Emperor Taizong and began an extensive missionary effort centered in China’s ancient capital\, Chang’an. \nThanks to archaeological evidence\, scholars know that this community of Christian believers prospered. Ancient texts discovered in the Dunhuang caves and a massive stone artifice called the Xi’an Stele preserved the rich theological tradition of this Christian community. These archaeological finds also document the methods the Syriac-speaking Persian monks used to translate Christian concepts and ideas into the Chinese language and culture. \nIn this presentation\, Duffy Fellow Anastasia McGrath\, FCRH ’21\, will examine the lexicological meaning behind the translation methods employed in these early Chinese Christian texts and inscriptions. This critical linguistic examination will bring to life the world of medieval China and this unique era of forgotten history. McGrath studied international political economy and Mandarin. \nThis is a Duffy Fellows program event.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Paul Schmelzing to Discuss Lower Forever or Set for a Regime Break? Lessons from Real Interest Rates Since the 14th Century
DESCRIPTION:Paul Schmelzing will discuss his groundbreaking research on real interest rate dynamics since the beginning of secondary debt markets\, the topic of one of his Ph.D. chapters. Visiting U.S. and European archives over multiple years\, he reconstructed global real interest rate series that cover 82% of advanced economy gross domestic product (GDP) spanning 700 years\, and he argues that our current negative rate environment has actually been in the making for centuries. Schmelzing will explain why investors during the Italian Renaissance could already have predicted that the global economy would hit the “zero lower bound” in our time\, why there is no such thing as a “normal” or “steady-state” interest rate\, and what chances are the major recent fiscal and monetary stimuli will trigger a structural break from the low inflation\, low rate era. \nFollowing the presentation\, James Grant and Richard Sylla will lead a discussion on the history of interest rates and will take questions from the audience. \nAbout the Speakers\nPaul Schmelzing is currently a postdoctoral research associate at the Yale School of Management\, and since 2016 he has been a visiting researcher at the Bank of England. He graduated with a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University in 2019 and a B.S. in economic history from the London School of Economics in 2013. During his studies\, he also interned at a global macro hedge fund\, Goldman Sachs’ global markets division\, and the Finance Committee of the German Bundestag. At Harvard\, he worked as a research assistant for Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff. Besides long-run real interest rate trends\, his current research projects focus on central bank balance sheet trends and banking crisis interventions. \nJames Grant\, a financial journalist and historian\, is the founder and editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer\, a twice-monthly journal of the investment markets. He is the author of nine books\, most of which pertain to finance or financial history. His book\, The Forgotten Depression\, 1921: The Crash that Cured Itself\, a history of America’s last governmentally unmedicated business-cycle downturn\, won the 2015 Hayek Prize of the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. Bagehot: The Life and Times of the Greatest Victorian\, a biography of the muse of modern central banking\, was published in 2019. His television appearances include 60 Minutes\, The Charlie Rose Show\, CBS Evening News\, and a 10-year stint on Wall Street Week. Grant is a Phi Beta Kappa alumnus of Indiana University. He earned a master’s degree in international relations from Columbia University\, began his career in journalism in 1972 at the Baltimore Sun\, and joined the staff of Barron’s in 1975. \nRichard Sylla\, Ph.D.\, is professor emeritus of economics and the former Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets at New York University Stern School of Business. He is the author of several books\, including Alexander Hamilton: The Illustrated Biography\, Genealogy of American Finance\, The American Capital Market\, and A History of Interest Rates. His writing has appeared in numerous publications\, including the Journal of Economic History\, Explorations in Economic History\, Small Business and American Life: A History and Business and Economic History. He has served on the editorial board of many journals that include Enterprise and Society\, Economic and Financial History Abstracts\, and the Museum of American Finance’s quarterly magazine\, Financial History. He served as president of the Economic History Association and the Business History Conference. He has been a member of the museum’s board of trustees since 2004 and served as chairman of the board from 2010 to 2020. In 2012\, Sylla was elected a fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

This paradigm shift thus raises the questions: what are the implications\, and what more can we do to address growing needs? \nThe Migrant Diaries combines direct testimony from children with a blazingly frank eyewitness account of what it means to provide mental health support on the front line of the migrant crisis across Europe and Central America\, thus framing the event’s discussion of what this new humanitarianism means for both a person in flight and a volunteer trying to help.

SUMMARY:The Church Innovative: How and Why the Catholic Church Fosters Change
DESCRIPTION:The Catholic Church is frequently depicted as an archaic\, stuffy\, and staid institution trapped by tradition and encased in the immutability dogma. But what if we looked at the Church as one of the most dynamic institutions in human history? For two millennia\, the Catholic Church has spawned new innovations and adapted to new societies. It continues to encompass and embrace diverse cultures and to seize developments in technology\, education\, finance\, and communications to further its mission. \nJoin us for a conversation on how the Catholic Church continues to embrace this legacy of change and why—now more than ever—it must innovate to meet the needs and challenges of a global society. \nPanelists \n\nHelen Alford\, O.P.\, vice rector\, Pontifical University of St. Thomas\nFrancis Davis\, director of policy\, Edward Cadbury Centre\, University of Birmingham; fellow of the Royal Geographical Society\nKerry Alys Robinson\, founding partner\, Leadership Roundtable\nModerated by Nicholas D. Sawicki\, Duffy Fellow\, Center on Religion and Culture\, Fordham University\n\nThis is a Duffy Fellows program event.

SUMMARY:The On-Screen Eucharist: An Epistemic Theory of Sacramental Participation
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 restrictions dramatically altered the landscape of Christian sacramental practice. Churches across the world boldly experimented with virtual liturgies\, the number of livestreamed adorations multiplied\, and many priests took to the phone (sometimes against the recommendation of Rome) to offer confession to the sick. While the intersection of information technology and sacramentality is not an altogether new phenomenon\, the questions surrounding the legitimacy of virtual sacraments are now unavoidable. \nAn epistemic theory of sacramental participation can provide a powerful explanation of the confusing theological landscape. According to this theory\, one participates in the sacraments in proportion with two quantities: one’s ardent desire and one’s justified belief in the occurrence of the sacramental miracle. If it holds\, this theory justifies the Church’s preference for in-person Mass while preserving the ontological validity of spiritual communion and also rebutting the iconoclastic criticism most commonly leveled against such virtualized sacraments. \nDuffy Fellow Philip Andrew Wines\, FCRH ’22\, will present and advance this theory. Drawing chiefly on the philosophy of perception alongside medieval and early modern discourses on miracles\, he will dispute existing criticism of virtual sacraments and will field questions from the audience. Wines is a student of philosophy\, theology\, medieval history\, and Spanish\, and he is a 2020-2021 Duffy fellow. \nThis is a Duffy Fellows program event.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Joe Biden and Catholicism in the United States
DESCRIPTION:After a dramatic election amid a raging pandemic\, racial violence\, economic collapse\, and historic national divisions that have threatened democracy in the U.S.\, Joe Biden was elected the 46th president of the United States. For Catholics\, this is a momentous occasion\, as he is the second Catholic to be elected to the nation’s highest office. The triangle of relations between the White House\, the Vatican\, and the U.S. Catholic Church is an essential dimension for understanding the political and religious urgency of this moment\, and its impact on social justice issues. \nWe invite you for a conversation with the author\, historian and theology professor Massimo Faggioli (Villanova University)\, along with Professor Michael Baur (Fordham University)\, Professor Laura Olson (Clemson College)\, and Christopher White (National correspondent for National Catholic Reporter).

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Henry Kaufman on The Day the Markets Roared: How a 1982 Forecast Sparked a Global Bull Market
DESCRIPTION:As we emerge from a global pandemic and a period of economic stagnation\, we can look to the past to gain inspiration for better times ahead. The year 1982 marked the start of almost four decades of U.S. economic growth. However\, this classic Wall Street story has never been fully told—until now. In his latest book\, The Day the Markets Roared: How a 1982 Forecast Sparked a Bull Market (Matt Holt Books\, 2021)\, legendary economist Henry Kaufman\, Ph.D.\, tells his first-hand account of one remarkable day in financial and economic history. \nAfter painful years of high interest rates and the inflation of the late 1960s and 1970s\, consumers were paying 17% and higher to borrow money. But by the end of one summer day almost 40 years ago\, the stock market had undergone its second-biggest rally since WWII\, while bond prices soared and interest rates plunged. Kaufman himself had written a memo that sparked this tremendous boom\, and it set the global markets on fire. The Day the Markets Roared features a rich cast of characters\, from Salomon’s John Gutfreund and interest rate guru Sydney Homer to Kaufman’s longtime friend Paul Volcker\, former chairman of the Federal Reserve. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Henry Kaufman \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nHenry Kaufman is president of Henry Kaufman & Company Inc.\, a firm established in April 1988\, specializing in economic and financial consulting. For the previous 26 years\, he was with Salomon Brothers Inc.\, where he was managing director\, member of the Executive Committee\, and in charge of the firm’s four research departments. He was also a vice chairman of the parent company\, Salomon Inc. Before joining Salomon Brothers\, Kaufman was in commercial banking and served as an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. \nKaufman received a B.A. in economics from New York University\, an M.S. in finance from Columbia University\, and a Ph.D. in banking and finance from the NYU Graduate School of Business Administration. He also received an honorary Doctor of Law degree from NYU\, and honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees from Yeshiva University and Trinity College. His latest book\, The Day the Markets Roared\, will be released in April 2021. He has also written Tectonic Shifts in Financial Markets (2017)\, The Road to Financial Reformation (2009)\, and On Money and Markets\, A Wall Street Memoir (2000). In 1987\, Kaufman was awarded the first George S. Eccles Prize for excellence in economic writing from the Columbia Business School for his book Interest Rates\, the Markets\, and the New Financial World. \nCopies of The Day the Markets Roared 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:Continuing Education: Providing LGBT-Inclusive Health Care from Diagnosis Through End of Life
DESCRIPTION:Health care providers have limited knowledge and notable discomfort when engaging with individuals around issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. Practitioners in geriatric\, palliative\, and end-of-life care settings may associate care of the LGBT population with the HIV/AIDS epidemic\, which coincided with the formalization of the federal hospice benefit. While new texts continue to emerge\, the language\, legislation\, and best practices for the LGBT population are dynamic and can sometimes be controversial. Social workers have an integral role in supporting the LGBT population at end of life\, both on micro and mezzo levels. Social workers are necessary for establishing trust and providing holistic\, patient-centered palliative care that honors the patient’s wishes. They are also critical members of social service agencies\, hospitals\, and community-based programs with an important role in influencing policies\, procedures\, culture\, and organizational values. This class will be taught by Adam Schoenfarber\, LCSW\, APHSW-C\, social work team manager\, MJHS Hospice and Palliative Care. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructor\nAdam Schoenfarber is a social work team manager with MJHS Hospice and Palliative Care\, where he oversees hospice social services for adult and pediatric clients. He coordinates and supports the second-year field experience in hospice and palliative care for social work students. He is an adjunct faculty member at Fordham’s Graduate School of Social Service\, where he teaches the Palliative Social Work course. His interests focus on disenfranchised\, marginalized communities and ensuring that end-of-life providers provide relevant\, patient- and family-centered\, and culturally sensitive care. Schoenfarber obtained his Master of Science degree in social work at Columbia University School of Social Work. He completed his undergraduate studies at University of Massachusetts Amherst.

SUMMARY:Family Webinar Series: Virtual Chat with CPS—Handling Finals Stress
DESCRIPTION:The end of the semester brings with it various emotions and feelings\, some positive and some negative. Stress and anxiety caused by final exams\, projects\, and papers affect our students each semester\, and more so now given the additional strains caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As we at Fordham are committed to cura personalis\, we continuously strive to prioritize students’ physical\, mental\, and emotional well-being during these stressful times of the academic year—and always. \nPlease join my colleagues from Counseling and Psychological Services\, Natasha Black\, Ph.D.\, Sarika Persaud\, Psy.D.\, and Jessica Ballou\, Ph.D.\, associate director of residential life for substance abuse prevention and mental health\, for a virtual chat. They will discuss student stressors caused by academic pressures\, explain the resources we have for students\, and provide recommendations and strategies for how parents and families can best support their students during this time. \nWe hope this session will provide useful insight into the mental health resources that Counseling and Psychological Services has for students around finals season\, as well as how we can best support our students through their studies as parents and family members.

SUMMARY:The Pius XII Archives and the Jews: First Notes and Research Hypotheses
DESCRIPTION:On March 4\, 2019\, Pope Francis announced the opening of the Pius XII archives\, and on March 2\, 2020\, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic\, the archives were finally opened after decades of scholarly curiosity about what they contained. These archives\, which contain materials from Eugenio Pacelli’s pontificate from 1939-1958\, are of particular interest to those who study the history of the Holocaust\, the founding of the State of Israel\, and the Catholic Church’s involvement in both. \nThis panel discussion features scholars of Catholic-Jewish history who will share their initial research findings about the documents concerning Jews carried out in these newly opened Vatican archives\, with a focus both on the role of the Catholic Church in the Holocaust and also on the Holy See’s attitude toward the establishment of the State of Israel. Each panelist will share some of their research from the archives\, discuss their findings with one another\, and address questions from the audience. \nAbout the Speakers\nMaria Chiara Rioli is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global fellow at the universities of Ca’ Foscari in Venice and Fordham with the REL-NET project titled “Entangled Interfaith Identities and Relations from the Mediterranean to the United States: The St James Association and Its Transnational Christian-Jewish Network in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.” She was previously project manager of the ERC Open Jerusalem project. Her publications include A Liminal Church: Refugees\, Conversions and the Latin Diocese of Jerusalem\, 1946–1956 (Brill\, 2020). The book introduction is available in Open Access. \nNina Valbousquet is a researcher at the Ecole Française de Rome\, working on Vatican diplomacy and Jewish organizations. Her first book\, Catholique et antisémite: Le réseau de Mgr Benigni – Rome\, Europe\, Etats-Unis\, 1918-1934\, was published by CNRS Editions (Paris) in spring 2020.

SUMMARY:Mika Ahuvia Discusses On My Right Michael\, On My Left Gabriel: Angels in Ancient Jewish Culture
DESCRIPTION:Angelic beings can be found throughout the Hebrew Bible\, and by late antiquity\, the archangels Michael and Gabriel were as familiar as the patriarchs and matriarchs\, guardian angels were as present as one’s shadow\, and praise of the seraphim was as sacred as the Shema. In her book\, Mika Ahuvia demonstrates that angels were foundational to ancient Judaism. Ancient Jewish practice centered on humans’ complex relationships with these invisible beings who acted as their intermediaries\, role models\, and guardians. Bringing non-canonical sources into view—incantation bowls\, amulets\, mystical texts\, and liturgical poetry—Ahuvia shows that when ancient men and women sought access to divine aid\, they turned not only to their rabbis\, or to God alone\, but often also to the angels. On My Right Michael\, On My Left Gabriel allows these overlooked stories\, interactions\, and rituals to take center stage\, offering a new entry point to the history of Judaism and the wider ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern world in which it flourished. \nAbout the Speaker\nAhuvia is the Marsha and Jay Glazer Endowed Chair in Jewish Studies and an assistant professor in the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington. She researches the formative history of Jewish and Christian communities in the ancient Mediterranean world\, specializing in rabbinic sources\, liturgical poetry\, magical texts\, early mystical literature\, and archaeological evidence. Her first book\, On My Right Michael\, On My Left Gabriel: Angels in Ancient Jewish Culture (University of California Press\, June 2021)\, uncovers how angels made their way into the practices and worldview of ancient Jews\, and makes sense of why angels continue to play such an important role within and outside of institutional religious settings.
