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: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: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 Refuge Press Presents: The New Humanitarians—Who Are They and What Are They Doing?
DESCRIPTION:Join the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs’ Refuge Press for an online book launch of The Migrant Diaries and a discussion about a new era of humanitarian action\, featuring: \n\nLynne Jones\, child psychiatrist\, aid worker\, and author of The Migrant Diaries\nHousam Jackaly\, Syrian refugee\nDr. Alexander “Xand” van Tulleken\, TV personality and former IIHA Helen Hamlyn fellow\n\nIn this hour-long virtual event\, the speakers will discuss how the migrant crisis across Europe and Central America has generated new forms of humanitarian action in which refugees are taking a lead in helping themselves\, assisted by volunteers working outside the old established structures of humanitarian assistance. 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: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.

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: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: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: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:“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:Things Get Broken: A Jesuit Reflects on Leonard Bernstein’s MASS 50 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:On September 8\, 1971\, the premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s MASS inaugurated the Kennedy Center in Washington\, D.C. Commissioned by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in memory of her late husband\, the work bore the weight of a decade of sorrows: the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy\, his brother Robert\, and Martin Luther King Jr.; racial unrest over civil rights; ongoing losses in the Vietnam War; the recent Kent State shootings; and much more. \nIn this lecture\, Stephen Schloesser\, SJ\, will explore not only Bernstein’s masterpiece—and its incorporation of Jewish and Catholic liturgical elements—but also its resonance for our present moment as we try to emerge from a lethal pandemic in the face of grave threats to our civic order. \nThis event inaugurates the Ignatian year at Fordham\, a global observance by the Society of Jesus to commemorate the moment 500 years ago when a cannonball shattered the leg of Ignatius of Loyola. The wound put an end to his youthful dreams of personal glory but started Ignatius on a journey of conversion. \nLoss was not the last word for Loyola—as it was not for Bernstein\, whose music provides both lament and hope after a broken year. \nSchloesser\, Professor of History at Loyola University Chicago\, specializes in modern European intellectual and cultural life and writes extensively on music\, religion\, mysticism\, Jesuits\, and Catholic thought and culture. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the audience.

SUMMARY:The Russia Question Hosts Nadieszda Kizenko for a Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:The Russia Question is a book talk series devoted to all things Russia\, hosted by Michael Ossorgin\, professor and Russian program director at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus\, with generous support from the Orthodox Christian Studies Center. Join us for a book talk with Nadieszda Kizenko to discuss her brilliant book\, Good for the Souls: A History of Confession in the Russian Empire (June 2021). \nFrom the moment that Tsars\, as well as hierarchs\, realized that having their subjects go to confession could make them better citizens as well as better Christians\, the sacrament of penance in the Russian empire became a political tool\, a devotional exercise\, a means of education\, and a literary genre. It defined who was Orthodox\, and who was “other.” First encouraging Russian subjects to participate in confession to improve them and to integrate them into a reforming Church and state\, authorities then turned to confession to integrate converts of other nationalities. But the sacrament was not only something that state and religious authorities sought to impose on an unwilling populace. Confession could provide an opportunity for carefully crafted complaints. What state and church authorities initially imagined as a way of controlling an unruly population could be used by the same population as a way of telling their own story—or simply getting time off to attend to their inner lives. \nGood for the Souls brings Russia into the rich scholarly and popular literature on confession\, penance\, discipline\, and gender in the modern world\, and in doing so opens a key window into church\, state\, and society. It draws on state laws\, Synodal decrees\, archives\, manuscript repositories\, clerical guides\, sermons\, saints’ lives\, works of literature\, and visual depictions of the sacrament in those books and on church iconostases. Russia\, Ukraine\, and Orthodox Christianity emerge both as part of the European\, transatlantic religious continuum and\, in crucial ways\, distinct from it. \nAbout the Speakers\nNadieszda Kizenko is a history professor and director of religious studies at the University at Albany. She is the author of the prize-winning book A Prodigal Saint: Father John of Kronstadt and the Russian People\, numerous articles on Orthodox Christianity including “The Feminization of Patriarchy? Women in Contemporary Russian Orthodoxy” (winner of Best Article\, Association for the Study of Eastern Christianity)\, and several translations. \nMichael Ossorgin\, who earned a Ph.D. in Slavic languages and literature from Columbia University\, teaches Russian and comparative literature\, art\, theology\, and language courses at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus. He has published articles on Dostoevsky’s The Idiot and Notes From the Dead House. He is currently writing a book on the role of vision in Dostoevsky’s poetics. Ossorgin thanks the Orthodox Christian Studies Center for its support not only of The Russia Question\, but also for grants to design and teach OCSC-credited courses\, including\, The Apocalypse: Russian and American Visions\, The Russian Icon in Dialogue with the Arts\, and the first of three summer courses in The Great Russian Minds Series on Mikhail Bakhtin. Ossorgin is the director of Fordham University’s Russian program.

SUMMARY:Is it Time to Decolonize the Terms Byzantine & Byzantium?
DESCRIPTION:The people we call “Byzantine” self-defined as “Romans.” The terms “Byzantium” and “Byzantine” were first employed by Western scholars more than a century after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in an effort to differentiate what they perceived to be the authentic Roman empire from its later\, eastern\, and Christian derivation. For centuries\, these terms circulated within Western scholarship with a not-so-subtle sense of derogatory critique (e.g.\, Edward Gibbon). Perhaps ironically\, “Byzantine” and “Byzantium” were subsequently embraced among Orthodox Christian populations who tend to view the period as a golden age of Orthodox civilization. This expert panel\, moderated by George Demacopoulos\, Fordham University\, will explore these issues and debate the viability/suitability of revising the terminology for the field. \nPanelists\nElizabeth Bolman\, Case Western Reserve University\nAnthony Kaldelis\, Ohio State University\nLeonora Neville\, University of Wisconsin\nAlexander Tudorie\, St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary

SUMMARY:Jewish Studies and Black Studies in Conversation Series: Black and Jewish in Early America
DESCRIPTION:Even as recently as the early 2000s\, when a large range of scholarship was dedicated to Black-Jewish relations\, nearly all of these discussions were framed by a Black-Jewish binary\, with Jews on one side and Blacks on the other. Such a history\, however\, ignores not only the experiences of Jews of color in the U.S. today\, but also in the past. In this conversation between Fordham’s Westenley Alcenat and Laura Leibman\, professor\, Reed College\, the latter draws from her new book about a multiracial Jewish family in the early Atlantic world to illustrate how emphasizing the long history of Jews of color forces us to reshape and reconsider what we know about Jews in the Americas. \nAbout the Speakers\nLeibman is a professor of English and humanities at Reed College in Portland\, Oregon\, and author of The Art of the Jewish Family: A History of Women in Early New York in Five Objects (Bard Graduate Center\, 2020)\, which won three National Jewish Book Awards. Her earlier book\, Messianism\, Secrecy and Mysticism: A New Interpretation of Early American Jewish Life (2012)\, won a Jordan Schnitzer Book Award and a National Jewish Book Award. Her work focuses on religion and the daily lives of women and children in early America\, and uses everyday objects to help bring their stories back to life. She has been a visiting fellow at Oxford University\, a Fulbright scholar at the University of Utrecht and the University of Panama\, and the Leon Levy Foundation Professor of Jewish Material Culture at Bard Graduate Center. \nAlcenat is a 19th-century historian of the U.S and Caribbean who teaches at Fordham. His scholarship covers the shared histories of African Americans and Afro-Caribbean people in connection with the wider African diaspora in the Atlantic world. His manuscript in revision\, “Children of Africa\, Shall Be Haytians: Prince Saunders and the Foundations of Black Emigration to Haiti\, 1775-1865\,” is a study of the radicalism and ideologies of African American settlers who emigrated to Haiti in the antebellum era. Alcenat is a past recipient of the Richard Hofstadter Fellowship from Columbia University. He has been awarded fellowships from the Library Company of Philadelphia\, the Massachusetts Historical Society\, the Hoover Institute’s Library and Archives\, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation\, the Social Science Research Council-Mellon Mays Graduate Initiative Grants\, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History\, and the Schomburg Center for Research in African-American Culture. \nFrom 2015 to 2016\, he was a visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a visiting associate fellow at the Weatherhead Initiative on Global History at Harvard University. Before arriving to Princeton\, he was a residential postdoctoral research associate at the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Resistance\, and Abolition at Yale University’s MacMillan Center. Alcenat has written or provided commentary for The Jacobin Magazine\, Theroot.com\, and The Immanent Frame. He is also a contributing guest writer for the Black Perspectives Blog\, the official publication of the African American Intellectual History Society.

SUMMARY:The 17th Annual Rita Cassella Jones Lecture: “The Juncture of Worlds: Scholarship As a Way of Life\, and Living As a Scholarly Practice”
DESCRIPTION:Universities began in the Middle Ages as an extension of Catholic monasticism\, an intellectual world separate from the practice of everyday life. In many ways\, advanced scholarship retains something of its original monastic flavor. Academics are taught to keep a respectable distance from their subjects\, to aim for objectivity\, to cultivate detachment. But what are we missing when we constrain scholarship within these normative dimensions? \nIn dialogue with her most recent work on Catholic narratives of sickness and disability in early modern French North America\, Mary Corey Dunn\, Ph.D.\, University of St. Louis\, articulates a vision for a more humane kind of scholarship beyond the ivory tower: one that sits at the juncture of the personal and the professional\, lived experience and archival record\, scholarly practice and everyday life. \nThis will be an in-person presentation streamed live and recorded. In-person attendance is restricted to vaccinated Fordham community members; registration is required for all attendees.
