SUMMARY:Supporting Children Involved with the Justice System
DESCRIPTION:Children participate in adult-oriented and adult-controlled court systems on a daily basis. Many of these children are victims of\, or witnesses to\, trauma and are frequently retraumatized by a justice system that does not always adjust to their needs. \nThis class will discuss the experiences of children involved in the justice system\, techniques for quick rapport-building and engagement when meeting children in court\, supportive ways to explain the justice system in developmentally appropriate language\, and how to provide trauma-informed\, effective advocacy for a population that is often left voiceless. It will also cover best practices for a multidisciplinary team approach to supporting court-involved children\, including how a social worker can advocate for the value of one’s expertise within such a team\, as well as how to support non-social work colleagues dealing with secondary trauma from this work. \nThis class will provide an understanding of a child’s rights within the justice system\, ideas and tools to help them cope with the emotional stress\, and tips for those who may prepare children to testify in court. As forensic social workers and clinicians\, we must learn how to empower children and their caregivers to have a better understanding of the complicated justice systems that often dictate their lives. Participants will also learn about procedural justice with special considerations for children and caregivers\, as well as ethical considerations for a social worker when working within the justice system\, including advocacy versus best interest. \nThree continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of this class.

SUMMARY:Jean Dreyfus Lectureship: 'Single Molecule Views of Nature’s Nanomachines'
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that proteins are nano-scale machines that help us think\, dance\, and keep the threat of cancer at bay? Did you know that biology is a new research frontier for physical scientists? In this talk\, Taekjip Ha\, a professor at Johns Hopkins University\, will discuss how biophysicists are using light-based tools to poke and examine nature’s nano-machines\, one molecule at a time\, uncovering the amazing acrobatic abilities that are essential for all forms of life.

SUMMARY:'Fordham’s Jesuit You’ve Likely Never Heard of: William F. Lynch\, S.J. (1908–1987)'
DESCRIPTION:In May 1960\, following the publication of his best-known work\, Christ and Apollo: The Dimensions of the Literary Imagination\, Time magazine hailed the Jesuit William F. Lynch as “one of the most incisive Catholic intellectuals in the U.S.” However\, by 1987\, Daniel Berrigan could write in his obituary for Lynch (Berrigan’s close friend) that his later years were marked by “remarkable public neglect.” \nAided by documents found in Lynch’s papers in Fordham University’s Archives and Special Collections\, this lecture from Stephen Schloesser\, S.J.\, will try to remember Lynch: his childhood years in an Upper East Side tenement along the East River; attending Regis High School; his years at Fordham—first as a student earning his B.A.\, M.A.\, and Ph.D. degrees\, then as a teacher\, and later as the editor of Thought\, Fordham’s journal of culture and ideas; his struggles with mental illness; and his later years. The lecture will conclude by identifying several key themes in Lynch’s studies of the imagination\, especially the question: “Can we trust the limited and finite to lead somewhere?” \nAbout the Speaker\nStephen Schloesser\, S.J.\, has been a professor of European cultural and intellectual history at Loyola University Chicago since 2011. After receiving his Ph.D. in history and humanities from Stanford University\, Schloesser was a member of the Boston College history faculty between 1999 and 2011. He is the author of Jazz Age Catholicism: Mystic Modernism in Postwar Paris\, 1919–1933 (2005) and Visions of Amen: The Early Life and Music of Olivier Messiaen (2014); curator and editor of “Mystic Masque: Semblance and Reality in Georges Rouault\, 1871–1958” (2008); co-editor with Kyle B. Roberts of Crossings and Dwellings: Restored Jesuits\, Women Religious\, American Experience\, 1814–2014 (2017); and co-editor with Jennifer Donnelson of Mystic Modern: The Music\, Thought\, and Legacy of Charles Tournemire (2014). \nCo-sponsored by the Spellman Jesuit Community

SUMMARY:Navigating Microaggressions Through the Lens of Clinicians of Color
DESCRIPTION:While social workers work to raise our collective voices of protest against blatant forms of racism in society\, we may be less sensitive to “the subtle\, cumulative mini-assault [that]is the substance of today’s racism” present in our profession. Microaggressions are often illusive and nuanced\, verbal and nonverbal acts that reflect the superiority\, hostility\, and discrimination of the dominant culture against a minority. They prove to be more insidious than overt forms of racism because they are easier to go unnamed and\, therefore\, invalidated. \nIt is imperative that social workers increase their attunement and consciousness of microaggressions\, not only in society at large but also in their profession. This class will review ways in which racial microaggressions are experienced by and impact clinicians of color in a variety of settings. It seeks to illuminate a framework to understand clinicians’ disenfranchised experiences\, particularly in clinical environments that are susceptible to act as depositories of transference and countertransference. From the perspective of the professional experience of clinicians of color and a review of literature\, we will explore ways to forge critical awareness of the subject. The goals of the presentation are for participants to critically reflect on their practice\, become more informed\, and learn new practices to become aware of microaggressions\, ultimately supporting and creating alliances with their peer clinicians of color. \nClinicians who complete this course will receive 1.5 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:David Myers and Nomi Stolzenberg on American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid book talk in conversation with Abner Green. \nPublic attention in recent months has focused on the large Hasidic community in the New York area and the interplay of politics\, state funding\, and educational standards. This talk will focus on one of the largest and most interesting examples\, Kiryas Joel\, a legally recognized municipality in suburban New York made up exclusively of Satmar Hasidic Jews. How did the community come into being? How\, and why\, did it secure recognition as a municipality? What part has education played in its history? And where is this rapidly growing community heading? \nAbout the Speakers\nNomi M. Stolzenberg holds the Nathan and Lilly Shapell Chair at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. She is a legal scholar whose research spans a range of interdisciplinary interests\, including law and religion\, law and liberalism\, law and feminism\, law and psychoanalysis\, and law and literature. After getting her J.D. at Harvard Law School in 1987 and clerking for the Honorable John Gibbons\, chief judge of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals\, she joined the faculty at the USC Gould School in 1988. There\, she helped establish the USC Center for Law\, History\, and Culture\, one of the preeminent centers for the study of law and the humanities. She is the co-author with David N. Myers of American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York (Princeton\, 2022) and the author of numerous articles on law and religion\, including the widely cited “He Drew a Circle That Shut Me Out: Assimilation\, Indoctrination\, and the Paradox of a Liberal Education\,” published in the Harvard Law Review; “Righting the Relationship Between Race and Religion in Law;” and “The Return of Religion: Legal Secularism’s Rise and Fall and Possible Resurrection.” She is spending the 2022-2023 academic year as a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and as a fellow at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, where she will be working on a new project on religious exemptions and the theory of “faith-based discrimination.” \nDavid N. Myers is a distinguished professor of history and holds the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History at UCLA\, where he serves as the director of the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. He also directs the new UCLA Initiative to Study Hate. He is the author or editor of more than 15 books in the field of Jewish history\, including American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York (Princeton\, 2022) with Nomi Stolzenberg. Myers also serves as president of the New Israel Fund. \nAbner Greene is the Leonard F. Manning Professor of Law. He specializes in administrative and regulatory law\, constitutional law\, freedom of speech and the press\, law and philosophy\, religion and the law\, and the U.S. Supreme Court. \nThis event is co-sponsored with Fordham Law School. \n(For 30% off American Shtetl from the Princeton University Press website\, use code “SHTL” before June 20.)

SUMMARY:The Russia Question Hosts Serhii Plokhy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with Serhii Plokhy on his recent book\, The Russo-Ukrainian War. \nDespite repeated warnings from the White House\, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war—and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military. The West has united\, and Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy\, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War\, offers a definitive account of this conflict\, its origins\, course\, and both the already-apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault—on February 27\, 2014\, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament—the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier\, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the 19th and 20th centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia’s ideas and cultures\, as well as domestic and international politics\, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable\, it was predictable. \nUkraine\, Plokhy argues\, has remained central to Russia’s idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons\, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order\, and a resurgence of populist nationalism\, Ukraine is more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe. \nThe Russia Question is a book talk series devoted to all things Russia\, hosted by professor Michael Ossorgin\, Russian program director at Fordham College at Lincoln Center.

SUMMARY:Clavius Distinguished Lecture with Bruce S. Kristal\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Bruce S. Kristal\, Ph.D.\, will present “Modeling at a Different Level to Optimize Data Use: Accurately Predicting the Outcome of the Fusion of Mathematical Models.” \nResolving technological gaps in the optimal handling and leveraging of data resources will facilitate future progress across many fields. Often\, it is advantageous to combine multiple mathematical models for robustness or power\, but realizing these potential gains cannot be guaranteed. This fundamental technological gap limits our ability to leverage data across essentially any domain in which more than one potentially useful mathematical model exists. In this lecture\, Kristal will discuss the development of the DIRAC framework\, an approach that complements\, not replaces\, standard modeling approaches by accurately predicting the outcome of both score and rank-based fusions. DIRAC’s core implementation is inherently domain- and distribution-independent and has predicted utility across far-ranging areas\, such as clinical biomarker development/personalized medicine\, clinical trial enrollment\, insurance pricing\, portfolio management\, and sensor optimization.

SUMMARY:Stories Between Christianity and Islam: A Conversation with Reyhan Durmaz
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to present the next episode of its webinar series highlighting the scholarly insights and academic careers of female scholars whose research and writing explore some facet of the history\, thought\, or culture of Orthodox Christianity. This episode will feature Reyhan Durmaz and Ashley Purpura. \nThe broadcast will be livestreamed and open to all who have pre-registered. The event will include some time for live audience questions. For those who miss the live event\, the center will archive each episode on its website and YouTube channel. \nAbout Reyhan Durmaz\nIn this talk\, Reyhan Durmaz will reflect on her recently published book and her current research projects. In Stories between Christianity and Islam (UCP 2022)\, Durmaz investigates the dynamics underlying the transmissions of saints’ stories between Christianity and Islam. By analyzing a broad group of Greek\, Syriac\, and Arabic texts from the fourth to the 14th century\, she revisits the lively scholarly conversations about orality\, authorship\, authority\, and memory in late antiquity and the Middle Ages. Through the lens of saints’ stories\, their narrators\, and their audiences\, she argues against literary taxonomies\, such as “Christian” and “Islamic” texts. \nShe demonstrates that Christian saints’ stories facilitated ongoing conversations between Christians and Muslims about the shared divine past\, conceptualizations of sanctity\, and communal identities. As the faculty fellow at the Orthodox Christian Studies Center for the 2022-2023 academic year\, she is working on a new monograph that reconstructs the various forms and expressions of Christianities in the medieval Middle Eastern countryside. The history of Christianity in the Middle East is often studied in light of theological developments and in relation to the presumed dominance of Islam. The book highlights that in rural regions\, far from the centers of clerical authority and Islamic influence\, Christianity manifested in diverse ways\, displaying complex dynamics of religious authority\, communal belonging\, and ritual practice. In the talk\, Durmaz will give examples of material culture and literary sources she uses in her project in order to study Middle Eastern Christianity. \nDurmaz is working on two other related projects. In one\, she investigates forms of religious skepticism beyond philosophical writings of the elite in the medieval Middle East\, with an eye to destabilizing the Eurocentric narratives of secularization and the implied European roots of modernity. For the other\, she studies the role Orthodox Christians have played in the making of publics in the U.S. Her analysis of the first Arabic newspaper in North America\, Kawkab Amrika\, founded by Christians from Lebanon\, is forthcoming in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion. The talk will address these intertwined projects on Middle Eastern Christians at home and in diaspora.

SUMMARY:On Asian American Literature (and Life) in the Time of COVID
DESCRIPTION:The Fordham University Department of English is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Hong Sohn\, Ph.D.\, as the Thomas F. X. and Theresa Mullarkey Chair in Literature and requests the pleasure of your company at his installation ceremony and inaugural lecture. A reception will immediately follow the lecture. \nIn this talk\, Sohn will explore the various ways his professional life\, research\, and relationship with Asian American literature have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sohn will detail how he first accepted his offer to come to Fordham in January 2020 and how the COVID-19 lockdown period enabled him to complete a book even as he was compelled to initiate a new research project. His experiences reading Asian American literature shifted radically\, beginning in March 2020 as the pandemic complicated how he engaged with genres like science fiction and fantasy\, and his subsequent move to New York City continued to push him to develop this line of thinking further. He will also describe his current and upcoming book projects\, focusing first on the importance of speculative fiction as a site of radical potentiality and then detailing the crucial place of Asian American literature and studies as a site of care work. \n\nThe Mullarkey Chair in Literature was established at Fordham by Theresa Mullarkey in memory of her husband\, Thomas F. X. Mullarkey\, FCRH ’54\, LAW ’59\, and as a continuation of his long-standing support of Fordham and the humanities.

SUMMARY:Fordham Interdisciplinary Seminar Series: Laura Specker Sullivan
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture from Laura Specker Sullivan\, titled “Situated Personhood: Insights from Caregivers of Minimally Communicative Individuals.” \nFor caregivers of minimally communicative individuals\, providing support in the absence of clearly meaningful responses is ethically fraught. We conducted a secondary analysis of qualitative data from caregivers of individuals who are minimally communicative\, including persons with advanced dementia and individuals with disorders of consciousness. Our analysis led to two central claims: (1) Personhood is a threshold concept that is situated\, relational\, and dynamic; (2) In circumstances in which personhood is difficult to judge\, caregivers can “fill the gap” to reach the threshold through a repertoire of strategies. Because personhood is in part an attribution from others\, a situational loss of personhood does not preclude restoration\, nor does it eliminate moral status. \nAbout the Speaker\nLaura Specker Sullivan is an assistant professor of philosophy. She is a specialist in interdisciplinary and cross-cultural ethics who incorporates her experience in clinical ethics consultation and qualitative research into her philosophical work. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Hawaii\, focusing on informed consent in Japan. She is the former director of ethics at the Medical University of South Carolina and a previous assistant professor of philosophy at the College of Charleston. She has held fellowships at the Center for Bioethics at Harvard Medical School\, the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering at the University of Washington\, Neuroethics Canada at the University of British Columbia\, and the Kokoro Research Center at Kyoto University. \nThis event will take place in a hybrid format and will have live captioning. Attend the lecture virtually.

SUMMARY:Physics and Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Johannes Flick\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor\, Department of Physics\, City College of New York\, will present\, “First-Principle Approaches to Strong Light-Matter Coupling in Molecular and Extended Systems.” \nIn recent years\, research at the interface of material science\, chemistry\, and quantum optics has surged and now offers new possibilities to study light-matter interactions. The combination of theoretical concepts from these fields presents an opportunity to create a predictive theoretical and computational approach from first principles that describes the correlated dynamics of electrons\, nuclei\, and the electromagnetic field on the same quantized footing. \nIn this talk\, Flick will discuss how density-functional theory can be generalized to quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory (QEDFT) and show how new exchange-correlation potentials arise. We discuss the linear-response theory for QEDFT to access excited state properties of such systems\, the emerging ab initio lifetimes\, and the incorporation of losses. By considering electrons\, nuclei\, and photons on the same quantized footing\, we find polaritonically induced vibrational mode mixing\, cavity-modulated molecular motion of molecules in optical cavities\, as well as new light-matter correlated observables for a new type of spectroscopy. Further\, we use this novel framework to study how chemical reactivity is altered in this regime\, by studying the modification of potential-energy surfaces under strong light-matter coupling. Beyond molecular systems\, we will discuss how strong light-matter coupling can be used to make nonlinear phonon processes more efficient and discuss first principle methods to characterize novel single-photon emitters.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum Presents Dror Goldberg on Easy Money: American Puritans and the Invention of Modern Currency
DESCRIPTION:Economists endlessly debate the nature of legal tender monetary systems—coins and bills issued by a government or other authority—yet the origins of these currencies have received little attention. Dror Goldberg tells the story of modern money in North America through the Massachusetts colony during the 17th century. As the young settlement transitioned to self-governance and its economy grew\, the need to formalize a smooth exchange emerged. Printing local money followed. \nEasy Money illustrates how colonists invented contemporary currency by shifting its foundation from intrinsically valuable goods—such as silver—to the taxation of the state. Goldberg traces how this structure grew into a worldwide system in which\, monetarily\, we are all Massachusetts. Weaving economics\, law\, and American history\, Easy Money is a new touchstone in the story of monetary systems. \nJoin us to hear from Goldberg\, in conversation with Richard Sylla. \nAbout the Speakers\nDror Goldberg is a senior faculty member in the Department of Management and Economics at the Open University of Israel. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Rochester and a law degree from Tel Aviv University. Goldberg studies the theory\, history\, and law of money\, especially of legal tender currency. His work was published in the Journal of Economic History\, the Journal of Monetary Economics\, Economic Theory\, and the Journal of Money\, Credit\, and Banking\, among others. He is the author of Easy Money: American Puritans and the Invention of Modern Currency\, published by the University of Chicago Press in March. Goldberg worked at Texas A&M University and spent a sabbatical in the Department of Economics at NYU as a guest of professor Richard Sylla. \nRichard Sylla is a professor emeritus of economics and the former Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets at the NYU Stern School of Business. He is the author or co-author of several books\, including Alexander Hamilton on Finance\, Credit\, and Debt\, Alexander Hamilton: The Illustrated Biography\, and Genealogy of American Finance. He was chairman of the Museum of American Finance from 2010 to 2020. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Amy Weiss on Realigning Faith: American Jews\, Protestants\, and Israel 1945–2020
DESCRIPTION:In 1977\, the American Jewish Committee awarded Billy Graham its first National Interreligious Award in recognition of the evangelist’s support of Israel and endorsement of interfaith relations. While bestowing the award upon an evangelical—and not a mainline Protestant or Catholic—made sense to the AJC\, not all Jewish communal organizations or American Jews understood this decision. This talk examines the shifting alliances the AJC and other communal organizations forged with evangelicals in the late 20th century and how these alliances revealed the role of Israel in Jewish-Protestant relations. \nAbout the Speaker\nAmy Weiss holds the Maurice Greenberg Chair of Judaic Studies and is an assistant professor of Judaic studies and history at the University of Hartford. During the 2022-2023 academic year\, she is also a faculty fellow in ethnic studies for the University of Hartford’s Center for the Humanities and a Center for Jewish History-Fordham University Research Fellow. She previously held the Thomas and Elissa Ellant Katz Fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania’s Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. Her research and publications focus on the intersections of American Jewish history\, Israeli culture\, and Jewish-Protestant relations. She is currently writing a book manuscript on the evolving relationships American Jewish communal organizations have forged with evangelicals on issues relating to Israel. Most recently\, her articles have appeared in the journals American Jewish History\, Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, and Israel Studies. Her work has also appeared in the edited volumes Armed Jews in the Americas\, Teaching the Arab-Israeli Conflict in the College Classroom\, and Minhagim: Custom and Practice in Jewish Life. Weiss received her Ph.D. from the departments of Hebrew and Judaic studies and history at New York University. \nThis hybrid lecture is part of the joint research fellowship at the Center for Jewish History and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:'Progressive Jewish Culture in Argentina and South America: An Ethno-Political Identity (1937-1991)'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this lecture by Saba Nerina Visacovsky\, part of the Fordham-NYPL Lecture Series. \nThe progressive Jewish movement in Argentina and South America was formed in the heat of the slogans and transnational initiatives of the popular front and its call for unity to fight fascism and anti-Semitism\, and in defense of the Yiddish culture. The creation of the Yidisher Kultur Farband Federation (YKUF) during the Congress of Jewish Culture held in Paris in 1937\, and its replica in Buenos Aires in 1941 (ICUF)\, embodied this atmosphere. The YKUF/ICUF brought together the existing pro-Soviet secular Jewish institutions and collaborated to create new ones. The new federation provided them with a political-ideological framework for their representation in the Jewish street and in their relationship with the Communist Party. This lecture aims to present the progressive Jewish identity in Argentina and refer briefly to the impact of the YKUF in South American countries. \nThis is a hybrid event; please register for forthcoming details about the location. \nAbout the Speaker\nNerina Visacovsky holds a Ph.D. from the Philosophy and Literature Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires\, Argentina. She is a researcher at the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (Conicet)\, a professor of politics and government at the School of the National University of San Martín\, and director of the Pinie Katz Documentation Center and Library (Cedob) from the ICUF. She has written several articles for national and international journals. Among her books are Argentinos judíos y camaradas: tras la utopía socialista (2015) and La tribuna icufista: tiempo de aportes (2021).

SUMMARY:Alice in Chinatown: Chol Soo Lee’s Fight for Freedom — APALSA Reenactment
DESCRIPTION:On the evening of June 3\, 1973\, a man was shot and killed on a crowded street in San Francisco’s Chinatown in a suspected gang murder. Within days\, the police arrested Chol Soo Lee\, a 20-year-old Korean immigrant. He was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In prison\, he killed a white gang member in a fight and was given the death penalty. A Korean American newspaper reporter challenged the fairness of his conviction and sentence in an article titled “The Alice in Chinatown Murder Case\,” helping to set off a pan-Asian American grassroots movement to free Chol Soo Lee. \nPlease join us for the APALSA’s reenactment of the Chol Soo Lee story\, followed by an expert panel discussion and reception. \nAgenda\n6 – 7:15 p.m.: Reenactment of Chol Soo Lee Case\n7:15 – 7:45 p.m.: Panel discussion\n7:45 p.m.: Cocktail reception

SUMMARY:Professional Boundaries: Ethical Obligations of Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:Can mental health professionals work with clients that they know from outside of the job? Can you barter with clients for your services? Mental health professionals are charged with the legal and ethical responsibility to maintain professional boundaries\, but the obligation isn’t always so easy to discern. This class brings real-world context to ethical concerns often experienced by professionals in practice in maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. This class will provide a framework to contemplate ethical dilemmas and make informed decisions that insulate professionals from legal liability while protecting clients from harm. \nRegister for May 4 \nRegister for June 1 \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three continuing education hours. \n\nThis class is designed to meet the New York state requirement that mental health professionals receive three hours of training on maintaining appropriate professional boundaries (effective April 2023). This class is not specific to New York state and can satisfy ethics and boundaries training requirements for any state.

SUMMARY:Holy Cow: Religion\, Race\, and Milk in Lancaster County\, Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:In the past 15 years\, Lancaster County has increasingly become a thriving hub for Orthodox Jewish tourists seeking “kosher” leisure activities\, including encounters with the Amish tourist industry. The expanding Orthodox Jewish tourist infrastructure has developed in tandem with an unexpected economic collaboration between some ultra-Orthodox Jews and local Amish and Mennonite farmers to produce unpasteurized kosher dairy products. Based on anthropological research with Orthodox Jewish tourists\, dairy entrepreneurs\, and local Amish/Mennonite farmers\, Feldman and Fader show that kosher collaborations around milk\, in particular\, offer a lens to think through contemporary American racialized politics and minority religious identities in our\npost-COVID-19 and post-Trump realities. \nAbout the Speakers\nRachel Feldman is a cultural anthropologist and currently an assistant professor of religious studies/Judaic studies at Franklin and Marshall College in Pennsylvania. Starting on July 1\, she will be moving to Dartmouth College and will be joining the Department of Religion.

SUMMARY:Moral Distress: What It Is and How to Respond
DESCRIPTION:The concept of moral distress refers to a clinical situation in which the patient is perceived to be “suffering” and the clinician knows what they feel to be the best course of action\, but that course conflicts with what is best for the organization\, other providers\, other patients\, the family\, or society as a whole. Moral distress can occur when the professional feels a sense of heightened moral responsibility and a perception of powerlessness. \nWhile moral distress was first recognized among nurses\, we now know that moral distress affects physicians\, pharmacists\, social workers\, chaplains\, psychologists\, and other healthcare providers. This class covers the experience of moral distress\, its impact on clinicians of multiple disciplines\, and the specific impact of moral distress among palliative care teams. Special attention will be given to the impact of the pandemic on moral distress. Strategies for recognizing and dealing with the experience of moral distress in individuals\, teams\, and within health systems will be considered. \nThree continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Pulak Prasad on What I Learned About Investing from Darwin
DESCRIPTION:The investment profession is in a state of crisis. The vast majority of equity fund managers are unable to beat the market over the long term\, which has led to massive outflows from active funds to passive funds. Where should investors turn in search of a new approach? \nPulak Prasad offers a philosophy of patient\, long-term investing based on an unexpected source: evolutionary biology. He draws key lessons from core Darwinian concepts\, mixing vivid examples from the natural world with compelling stories of good and bad investing decisions—including his own. How can Bumblebees’ survival strategies help us accept that we might miss out on Tesla? What does an experiment in breeding tame foxes reveal about the traits of successful businesses? Why might a small frog’s mimicry of the croak of a larger rival shed light on the signs of corporate dishonesty? \nInformed by successful evolutionary strategies\, Prasad outlines his counterintuitive principles for long-term gain. He provides three mantras for investing: Avoid big risks\, buy high quality at a fair price\, and don’t be lazy—be very lazy. Prasad makes a persuasive case for a strategy that rules out the vast majority of investment opportunities and advocates permanently owning high-quality businesses. \nCombining punchy prose and practical insight\, What I Learned About Investing from Darwin reveals why evolutionary biology can help fund managers become better at their craft. \nAbout the Speaker\nPulak Prasad is the author of What I Learned About Investing from Darwin (Columbia Business School Publishing\, May 2023). He is the founder of Nalanda Capital\, a Singapore-based firm that invests in listed Indian equities and manages about $5 billion. He was previously the co-head of India for Warburg Pincus\, a global private equity firm\, and worked at the management consulting firm McKinsey for several years.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Healthcare Social Work Documentation to Mitigate Bias
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare social workers engage in discipline-specific\, skilled interventions informed by training\, best practices\, and attunement to social justice. Documenting assessments and interventions clearly communicates the value of the social work perspective\, skills\, and contributions and influences outcomes while also contributing to the learning of those who read our work. This class will review the literature on bias in documentation in the medical record\, a focus driven by the advent of “open notes” as of April 2021. Sample patient notes and narratives will be used to illustrate how social work documentation communicates best practices and has the potential to mitigate bias while integrating the impacts of social determinants. \nNo matter the setting\, word choice is foundational to communication and documentation and significantly impacts patient family experiences\, decisional outcomes\, bereavement\, and legacy. We will explore attributed meanings underlying words and phrases used in health care and unintended consequences. Our spoken words are often reflected in the written words and phrases used in documentation in a medical record\, which is a permanent record influencing care. This class will expand on language and word choice and highlight the ethical responsibility in documenting authentically and with the awareness that documentation is permanent\, creates opportunities to mitigate bias\, and can maximize the impact of the social work lens of “person in environment.” \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two continuing education hours.
