SUMMARY:"The Russia Question" Hosts Emerson\, Poole\, and Pattison
DESCRIPTION:“The Russia Question” is a book talk series devoted to all things Russia\, hosted by professor Michael Ossorgin\, 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 Caryl Emerson\, Randall Poole\, and George Pattison for their Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought (Oxford University Press\, 2019). \nThe Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought is an authoritative reference and interpretive volume detailing the origins\, development\, and influence of one of the richest aspects of Russian cultural and intellectual life: its religious ideas. After setting the historical background and context\, the book follows the leading figures and movements in modern Russian religious thought through a period of immense historical upheavals\, including 70 years of officially atheist communist rule and the growth of an exiled diaspora with (e.g.\, its journal The Way). Therefore\, the shape of Russian religious thought cannot be separated from long-running debates with nihilism and atheism. Important thinkers\, such as Losev and Bakhtin\, had to guard their words in an environment of religious persecution\, whilst some views were shaped by prison experiences. \nBefore the Soviet period\, Russian national identity was closely linked with religion—linkages that again are being forged in the new Russia. Relevant in this connection are complex relationships with Judaism. In addition to such religious thinkers as Philaret\, Chaadaev\, Khomiakov\, Kireevsky\, Soloviev\, Florensky\, Bulgakov\, Berdyaev\, Shestov\, Frank\, Karsavin\, and Alexander Men\, the Handbook also looks at the role of religion in aesthetics\, music\, poetry\, art\, film\, and the novelists Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Ideas\, institutions\, and movements discussed include the church academies\, Slavophilism and Westernism\, theosis\, the name-glorifying (imiaslavie) controversy\, the God-seekers and God-builders\, Russian religious idealism and liberalism\, and the neopatristic school. Occultism is considered\, as is the role of tradition and the influence of Russian religious thought in the west. The collection includes two responses from contemporary Russian academic and church life. \nAbout the Speakers\nCaryl Emerson is the A. Watson Armour III University Professor Emeritus of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University. Her work has focused on the Russian classics (Pushkin\, Tolstoy\, Dostoevskii); Mikhail Bakhtin; and Russian music\, opera\, and theater. Recent projects include the Russian modernist Sigizmund Krzhizhanovskii (1887 to 1950)\, the allegorical-historical novelist Vladimir Sharov (1952 to 2018)\, and the co-editing\, with George Pattison and Randall A. Poole\, of The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought. \nRandall A. Poole is a professor of intellectual history at the College of St. Scholastica and a fellow of the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University. He is the translator and editor of Problems of Idealism: Essays in Russian Social Philosophy (2003) and co-editor of five other volumes: A History of Russian Philosophy\, 1830–1930: Faith\, Reason\, and the Defense of Human Dignity (2010\, 2013)\, Religious Freedom in Modern Russia (2018)\, The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought (2021)\, Evgenii Trubetskoi: Icon and Philosophy (2021)\, and Law and the Christian Tradition in Modern Russia (2022). He is also the author of many articles and book chapters on Russian intellectual history\, philosophy\, and religion. \nGeorge Pattison is a retired Anglican priest and scholar. His primary research area has been the post-Hegelian philosophy of religion\, with emphasis on Kierkegaard\, Russian religious thought\, Heidegger\, and visual art. He has recently completed a three-part philosophy of Christian life\, pub listed by Oxford University Press (2018\, 2019\, 2021).

SUMMARY:Jewish Studies and Black Studies in Dialogue Series: Creole Ambivalence—The Politics of Jewishness in Caribbean Suriname\, 1890-1959
DESCRIPTION:Suriname\, a small Caribbean country on the northeast coast of South America\, is home to one of the oldest Jewish communities in the Western Hemisphere\, having been established in the mid-1600s by settlers of Iberian Jewish origin and the scores of African people they enslaved. By the turn of the 20th century\, the colony’s Jewish community had transformed in two fundamental ways: The Jews had long shifted their geographic center from a series of interior plantations to the coastal capital of Paramaribo\, and native-born\, Creole (Eurafrican) Jews of mixed Iberian\, Ashkenazic\, and African origin now dominated communal and synagogue life as free people of color. \nThis presentation\, featuring Eli Rosenblatt\, Northwestern University\, in conversation with Belinda Edmondson\, Rutgers University\, will illuminate their lives by examining how the Surinamese-Jewish press interpreted and represented Jewish cultural autonomy in a climate of rising Christian\, anti-colonial sentiment supported by the growth of the colonial mission. Beginning in 1890 with the advent of anti-Jewish violence in Paramaribo and concluding at the beginning stages of independence in the 1950s\, this presentation will trace the politics of being Jewish in Paramaribo while giving special attention to how racial and religious antagonism came to bear on individuals forced by regimes of colonial and Christian power to distinguish between their Jewish and Creole selves. \nAbout the Speakers \nRosenblatt received his Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley and is currently affiliated with Northwestern University. His fellowship at Fordham is grounded in the Working Group on Jewish Studies and Black Studies in Dialogue. Rosenblatt is a scholar of Yiddish culture and Ashkenazic Jews\, with a current interest in the communities of the Atlantic world in the 19th and 20th centuries. \nEdmondson is a professor of English and African American and African studies at Rutgers University\, Newark. She is an elected member of the Johns Hopkins University Society of Scholars and has been the recipient of several fellowships. Her most recent book\, Creole Noise: Early Caribbean Dialect Literature and Performance\, is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Sheehan Ahmed\, Ph.D.\, FCRH 2011\, assistant teaching professor at Rutgers University\, will present “Teaching with ISLE: Facilitating Students to Discover Physics for Themselves.” \nEffectively introducing new students to physics goes hand in hand with using research-based practices for teaching physics. Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) is an inquiry-based approach that focuses on students discovering physical concepts on their own using processes similar to what actual researchers use: observing phenomena\, identifying patterns\, developing hypotheses\, using them to make predictions for testing experiments\, and using these testing experiments to reject inconsistent hypotheses. Ahmed will focus on the particular implementation of ISLE that is being run and developed at Rutgers-Newark and the innovations and challenges that come with it.

SUMMARY:Discussion: The Jewish Metropolis: New York from the 17th to the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Join contributors to The Jewish Metropolis: New York from the 17th to the 21st Century (Academic Studies Press\, 2021) Daniel Soyer\, Ayelet Brinn\, John M. Dixon\, Diana L. Linden\, and Devin Naar in a discussion of the diversity of the Jewish experience in New York. Over the centuries\, Jews have influenced the city’s culture\, politics\, social fabric\, and economy\, and in turn\, been influenced by them.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Campbell R. Harvey on DeFi and the Future of Finance
DESCRIPTION:Govern­ments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down\, spurring a serious rethink of our financial system. Does it make any sense that it takes two days to settle a stock transaction? Why do retailers\, operating on razor-thin margins\, have to pay 3% for every customer credit card swipe? Why does it take two days to transfer money from a bank account to a brokerage—or any other company? Why are savings rates minuscule or negative? Why is it so difficult for entrepreneurs to get financ­ing at traditional banks? \nIn DeFi and the Future of Finance\, Campbell R. Harvey\, Ashwin Ramachandran\, and Joey Santoro introduce the new world of decen­tralized finance. The book argues that the current financial landscape is ripe for dis­ruption and we are seeing\, in real time\, the reinvention of finance. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:05 p.m.: Presentation: Campbell R.

SUMMARY:IPED Fall 2021 Lecture Series: National Identity in China
DESCRIPTION:Grace Shen is an associate professor of history and director of graduate studies in the history department. Her work centers on questions of identity and aspirations of modernity\, change\, and self-fulfillment in late-19th to late-20th century China. As a science historian\, she has primarily explored this through the lens of knowledge production. Her first book\, Unearthing the Nation: Modern Geology and National Identity in Republican China\, traces the complex (and often surprising) ways that interactions with “modern science” helped Chinese articulate what they wanted\, how they saw themselves\, who they wanted to be\, and why. Her present book project\, Raising the Nation\, examines technologies of infant and child care to probe the ways that choices about children shaped China’s understanding of its place in the modern world and the potential of its nation-building project.

SUMMARY:GSS Continuing Education: Health Care Decision-Making: What Every Social Worker Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:Despite the Patient Self-Determination Act of 1990\, advance care planning remains poorly understood and often completed at the very end of life. Consequently\, patients are left with making difficult health care decisions in highly stressful situations and poor health. Similarly\, designated health care decision-makers often need to make these decisions with little or no knowledge of the patient’s wishes. This class will provide an overview of advance care planning as an essential component of quality patient care. Advance care planning documents\, such as advance directives and POLST orders\, will be discussed. Strategies on how to facilitate quality advance care planning conversations will be presented\, and the role of the social worker in promoting advance care planning will be elaborated upon. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two (2) continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Leonard Cohen’s Theological Legacy: Exploring the Songwriter's Work Through a Christian Lens
DESCRIPTION:When Leonard Cohen\, the singer-songwriter\, poet\, and novelist\, died five years ago\, the cultural world mourned the loss of a great artist—and religious communities mourned the loss of a unique spiritual voice. Cohen was a Canadian Jew who channeled Christian themes in his work and lived for years as a Buddhist monk. \nHe put all of those beliefs and experiences into words and music\, and the theological legacy of that astonishing body of work is still growing. The latest exploration of Cohen’s vision comes in a new book by the religious studies scholar Marcia Pally\, titled From This Broken Hill I Sing To You: God\, Sex\, and Politics in the Work of Leonard Cohen. \nIn this Fordham Center on Religion and Culture (CRC) webinar\, Pally will highlight the religious impulses of Cohen’s six-decade career. The event will feature a conversation with Fordham theologians Kathryn Reklis and Thomas Beaudoin\, as well as musical performances. \nPally has taught at Fordham University and is a professor in multilingual multicultural studies at New York University. She is an annual guest professor for the theology faculty at Humboldt University-Berlin and has written numerous books and articles on culture\, religion\, and politics. \nKathryn Reklis\, an associate professor of theology at Fordham University\, writes on a range of topics\, from modern Protestant theology and religion to pop culture. She has a regular column in The Christian Century\, and her most recent book is Protestant Aesthetics and the Arts\, co-edited with Sarah Covington. \nThomas Beaudoin\, a professor in Fordham University’s Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education\, focuses on theologies\, philosophies\, and religious studies of practice; concepts and practices of religious disaffiliation and affiliation; and the theological and secular meanings of popular music. \nDavid Gibson\, director of CRC\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the audience.

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

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

SUMMARY:Putting on Cologne: An Exploration of a Medieval City
DESCRIPTION:The medieval city of Cologne was a bustling metropolis and a hub of commerce. The city is better known for its economic prowess\, with Jews and Christians working side by side. But it is less known for its contribution to theology and canon law\, from the Jewish to the halakha and Jewish tradition. Nevertheless\, due to the city’s central location between England\, the Low Countries\, northern France\, and the German Rhineland\, it serves as a gauge for assessing many religious\, political\, and cultural processes in the high middle ages. Ephraim Shoham Steiner\, the 2021-2022 visiting scholar and a Fordham-NYPL Fellow in Jewish Studies\, and members of Fordham’s faculty in medieval studies will explore how Cologne served in this fashion\, drawing on examples from both medieval Christian and Jewish sources. \nShoham-Steiner is a professor of medieval Jewish history in the Department of Jewish History at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and an expert on urban life in Europe in the late Middle Ages. For 2021-2022\, he is the Fordham-NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies and a visiting scholar at Fordham University. He is the author of On the Margins of a Minority: Leprosy\, Madness\, and Disability among the Jews of Medieval Europe (Wayne State University Press\, 2014) and Jews and Crime in Medieval Europe (Wayne State University Press\, 2020). \nThis event is presented with Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies and the Leo Baeck Institute.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Robin Wigglesworth on Trillions: How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented the Index Fund and Changed Finance Forever
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime program with Robin Wigglesworth\, the Financial Times‘ global finance correspondent and author of Trillions\, as he discusses the incredible true story of the iconoclastic geeks who defied conventional wisdom and endured Wall Street’s scorn to launch the index fund revolution\, democratizing investing and saving hundreds of billions of dollars in fees. \nFifty years ago\, the Manhattan Project of money management was quietly assembled in the financial industry’s backwaters\, unified by the heretical idea that even many of the world’s finest investors couldn’t beat the market in the long run. The motley crew of nerds—including Gene Fama\, Jack Bogle\, John McQuown\, and Nate Most—succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Passive investing now accounts for more than $20 trillion\, equal to the entire gross domestic product of the U.S.\, and today is a force reshaping markets\, finance\, and even capitalism itself in myriad subtle but pivotal ways. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Robin Wigglesworth \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRobin Wigglesworth is the FT’s global finance correspondent\, based in Oslo\, Norway. He focuses on the biggest forces reshaping the financial system\, with a particular focus on technological disruption and quantitative investing\, writing longer-form features\, analyses\, profiles\, and columns. He was previously the U.S. markets editor\, spearheading the outlet’s coverage of financial markets and asset management across the Americas\, deputy head of FastFT\, capital markets correspondent\, and Gulf correspondent. \nCopies of Trillions will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Ioannis (John) Kymissis\, Ph.D.\, Kenneth Brayer Professor of Electrical Engineering and chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University SEAS\, will present\, “Electronics on Anything: How Thin Film Electronics can Instrument the World.” \nSilicon electronics have revolutionized the processing and handling of information. The high temperatures required to create crystalline silicon devices\, however\, have limited the application of crystalline silicon to sensing systems that work in a small and mechanically rigid form factor. The development of inorganic and organic thin-film electronics has launched a second revolution in electronics\, granting the ability to process electronically active materials at low temperatures. This has allowed for two exciting opportunities: the ability to build electronic devices on the same size scale as the systems they interact with\, and the ability to integrate electronic materials on a range of substrates including the back-end of CMOS integrated circuits\, electronically active substrates\, and flexible materials. \nOur group has been working on the hybrid integration of organic semiconductors\, thin-film piezoelectrics\, and laser-recrystallized silicon with active substrates to implement a range of new functionalities. In this presentation\, Kymissis will show how thin-film electronics and the hybrid integration enabled by new semiconductor systems and process options allow for active and spatially localized control of systems that are typically used in a single element format. Devices we have developed include single-chip PCR systems\, miniature spectrometers\, devices for blood flow analysis\, large-area and miniature microphones\, integrated on-chip filters\, and active matrix micro-LED displays. These approaches unlock new applications in health care\, sensing\, displays\, and communications. \nAbout the Speaker\nKymissis earned his B.S.\, M.Eng.\, and Ph.D. degrees from MIT. His M.Eng. thesis was performed as a co-op at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Lab on organic thin-film transistors\, and his Ph.D. was obtained in the Microsystems Technology Lab at MIT\, working on field-emission displays. After graduation\, he spent three years as a postdoc in MIT’s Laboratory for Organic Optics and Electronics\, working on a variety of organic electronic devices\, and also as a consulting engineer for QD Vision (later acquired by Samsung Electronics). He joined the faculty at Columbia University in electrical engineering in 2006 as an assistant professor. \nHe has won a number of awards for his work\, including the NSF CAREER award\, the IEEE EDS Paul Rappaport award\, the Vodaphone Americas Foundation Wireless Innovation Award\, the MIT Clean Energy Prize\, and a Verizon Powerful Answers award. A Society of Information Display (SID) fellow\, he recently served a term as the editor in chief of the Journal of the Society for Information Display. In addition\, he was the general chair for the 2014 Device Research Conference and was the program vice chair for the 2019 SID Display Week Symposium.
