SUMMARY:Jewish Ceremonial Art: Continuing the Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a program in memory of Vivian B. Mann\, featuring Reed College’s Laura Arnold Leibman and Bar-Ilan University’s Maya Balakirsky Katz in conversation with Fordham University’s Magda Teter. \nJewish ceremonial objects have been studied and collected for nearly 150 years. In the past few decades\, however\, their importance in understanding social\, historic\, and aesthetic issues in a variety of cultural contexts has begun to increase. This program is dedicated to the memory of Vivian B. Mann\, a long-time Judaica curator at The Jewish Museum in New York and head of the graduate program in Jewish Art and Visual Culture at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Among her many accomplishments\, Mann started initiatives to ensure that the rigorous study of Judaica would become part of the discourse of wider disciplines\, such as art history\, history\, and Jewish studies. Building on her legacy\, Arnold Leibman and Balakirsky Katz will each speak about a ceremonial object from the vantage point of their different disciplines\, and then engage in a conversation with Teter about the state of the field today and the possibilities for the future. \nAbout the Speakers\nArnold Leibman is a professor of English and humanities at Reed College. 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. Her latest work\, The Art of the Jewish Family\, examines objects owned by Jewish women living in New York several centuries ago in order to recreate their biographies and restore their agency as creators of Jewish identity. Another of her books\, Messianism\, Secrecy and Mysticism: A New Interpretation of Early American Jewish Life\, won the Jewish National Book Award. \nBalakirsky Katz is an associate professor of Jewish art at Bar-Ilan University. Coming from the discipline of art history\, she is interested in the relationship between perception and the psyche\, art and psychoanalysis\, visual culture\, and religion. In her 2010 book\, The Visual Culture of Chabad\, she sets out to demonstrate the importance of objects and the visual experience in the study of faith communities. She recently published Intersections between Jews and Media\, and is co-editor of Images: A Journal of Jewish Art and Visual Culture. \nTeter is a professor of history and the Shvilder Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University. She is the author of Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland (2005)\, Sinners on Trial (2011)\, and Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth (2020). Her work has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, YIVO Institute\, and the Yad Ha-Nadiv Foundation. This year she is the NEH Senior Scholar at the Center for Jewish History in New York City. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Jewish Museum.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: The Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Team - Facilitating Healthy Teams
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary teams\, including palliative care teams\, are high-functioning models of effective inter/intradisciplinary work. Social workers\, nurse practitioners\, physicians\, and other integral interdisciplinary team members are united in their common goal of quality patient care\, but the lenses through which we view medical complexities may be radically different from one another. While this difference and overlap contribute to the richness of interdisciplinary care\, we must also nurture ourselves and these relationships to prevent role fatigue\, unintentional conflict\, and burnout. Healthy teams must be created and maintained. Social workers are trained specifically in nonverbal communication\, the impact and use of language\, relational dynamics\, family system theory\, and group therapy facilitation. These formational parts of our educational process uniquely position us to be team leaders in supporting healthy team function and identifying/navigating team distress. \nThe class will be taught by Dana Ribeiro Miller\, M.Div.\, LCSW\, ACHP-SW. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructor\nDana Ribeiro Miller holds a Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University School of Social Work\, where she was a recipient of the Dr. Maurice V. Russell Fellowship for Medical Social Work\, a Master in Divinity from Union Theological Seminary\, and a B.S. from Rutgers University. She completed her subspecialty palliative care training via the Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at Mount Sinai. Currently\, she is a palliative social worker\, a member of the ethics committee and faculty for the Palliative Medicine Fellowship\, and a member of the critical incident stress management team at NYU Winthrop University Hospital.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Hidden in Plain Sight: How to Save Active Investment Management\, Part I: The Situation
DESCRIPTION:Diversification is a core principle of investing. Yet money managers have not applied it to their own ranks. Only around 10 percent of portfolio managers—the people most directly responsible for investing your money—are female\, and the numbers are even worse at the ownership level. What are the causes of this underrepresentation\, and what are its consequences—including for firms’ and clients’ bottom lines? \nIn Undiversified: The Big Gender Short in Investment Management\, experienced practitioners Ellen Carr and Katrina Dudley examine the lack of women in investment management and propose solutions to improve the imbalance. They explore the barriers that subtly but effectively discourage women from entering and staying in the industry at each point in the pipeline. At the entry-level\, the lack of visible role models discourages students from considering the field\, and those who do embark on an investment management career face many obstacles to retention and promotion. Carr and Dudley highlight the importance of informal knowledge about how to navigate career tracks\, without which women are left at a disadvantage in an industry that lionizes confidence. They showcase a diverse constellation of successful female portfolio managers to demystify the profession. \nDrawing on wide-ranging research; interviews with prospective\, current\, and former industry practitioners; and the authors’ own experiences\, Undiversified makes a compelling case that increasing the number of women could help transform active investment management at a time when it is under threat from passive strategies and technological innovation. \nAgenda \n5:30 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Speaker Introductions: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n5:35 p.m.: Fireside Chat: Ellen Carr\, Katrina Dudley\, and Dan Hanson; moderated by Laura Rittenhouse \n6:15 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n6:30 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Dean Rapaccioli \nAbout the Speakers\nEllen Carr has more than two decades of experience as a high-yield bond portfolio manager\, most recently at Weaver C.

SUMMARY:Calling Out vs. Calling In: Loretta Ross Offers a Different Response to Campus Cancel Culture
DESCRIPTION:College campuses are central in the battle over “cancel culture\,” with a frequent weapon being the practice of “calling out” those who are judged to have said or done something wrong. The result is often conflict and misunderstanding rather than dialogue and mutual comprehension. \nLoretta Ross\, a visiting professor at Smith College\, has become known for her courses that promote students “calling in” rather than “calling out.” \nRoss\, a self-described “Black radical feminist\,” told The New York Times\, “I think you can understand how calling out is toxic. It really does alienate people\, and makes them fearful of speaking up.” \nA signer of last year’s famous letter in Harper’s Magazine against cancel culture\, Ross will speak to the Fordham community in a virtual workshop\, providing students and others a chance to engage with her via Zoom. \nThe talk and workshop will be moderated by Julie Gafney\, executive director of Fordham’s Center for Community Engaged Learning.

SUMMARY:Dostoevsky’s Incarnational Realism: A Book Talk with Author Paul J. Contino
DESCRIPTION:Author Paul J. Contino joins Fordham professor emeritus Terrence W. Tilley and Michael Ossorgin\, Russian program director within the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures\, to discuss his book\, Dostoevsky’s Incarnational Realism: Finding Christ Among the Karamazovs (Cascade Books\, 2020). \nAccording to Cascade Books\, “In this book\, Paul Contino offers a theological study of Dostoevsky’s final novel\, The Brothers Karamazov. He argues that incarnational realism animates the vision of the novel and the decisions and actions of its hero\, Alyosha Fyodorovich Karamazov. The book takes a close look at Alyosha’s mentor\, the Elder Zosima\, and the way his role as a confessor and his vision of responsibility ‘to all\, for all’ develops and influences Alyosha. The remainder of the study\, which serves as a kind of reader’s guide to the novel\, follows Alyosha as he takes up the mantle of his elder\, develops as a ‘monk in the world\,’ and\, at the end of three days\, ascends in his vision of Cana. The study attends also to Alyosha’s brothers and his ministry to them: Mitya’s struggle to become a ‘new man’ and Ivan’s anguished groping toward responsibility.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Phiala Shanahan\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor\, Department of Physics\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, will present “From Quarks to Nuclei: The Building Blocks of the Universe.” \nMore than 99% of the visible matter in the universe is built from protons and neutrons and the nuclei that they form. This rich structure emerges dynamically from the complex interactions of quarks and gluons\, the most elementary particles that have been discovered. Understanding how nuclear physics arises from the underlying quark and gluon dynamics is a computational challenge that pushes the capabilities of the world’s largest supercomputers. \nIn this colloquium\, we will discuss the subatomic realm and what supercomputer calculations of quarks and gluons can reveal about the origins of mass\, the primordial nuclear reactions that power the sun\, and the nature of the elusive dark matter that permeates the universe.

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Dilemma of Bombing Auschwitz: Support\, Opposition\, and Reservation
DESCRIPTION:The deportation of Jews from Hungary to Auschwitz-Birkenau began in May 1944. Since Auschwitz-Birkenau was located within the range of the Allies’ bomber aircraft\, demands were being made to bomb the site. But Auschwitz was never destroyed by the allies. The failure to bomb Auschwitz-Birkenau became a symbol of the powerlessness of the free world and of the Jewish leadership to rescue the Jews of Europe. \nBased on archival documents related to the work of American Jewish activists involved in the issue of bombing the camp\, above all Leon Kubowitzki\, who headed the World Jewish Congress’s Rescue Department\, Zohar Segev will offer a new understanding of the issue. The archival documents reveal that Jewish and Zionist leadership requested that the U.S. not bomb Auschwitz and instead seek to examine other forms of military action that could be employed against the camp. The findings show us the importance of re-examination and reformulation of our knowledge and understanding regarding the Holocaust in light of new sources. \nAbout the Speaker\nSegev is a professor of Jewish history at the University of Haifa and teaches courses on American Jewish history and Zionist history\, and he is also the head of the Wolfson Chair in Jewish Religious Thought and Heritage. He is the author of From Ethnic Politicians to National Leaders. American Zionist Leadership\, the Holocaust and the Establishment of Israel (2007) and The World Jewish Congress During the Holocaust: Between Activism and Restraint (2014). This year\, he is a Fordham-NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies\, working on a project titled “Philanthropy\, Politics\, and the Shaping of a Nation: The Nathan Straus Papers in the NYPL.” \nThis event is a joint initiative of Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies and the New York Public Library and is a part of the Fordham-NYPL Joint Research Fellowship Program in Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Greg Gbur\, professor at the University of North Carolina\, Charlotte\, will present\, “Inverse Scattering and Invisible Objects.” Most problems in physics are “direct” problems\, in which a “cause” is introduced and the “effect” of that cause is determined. Inverse problems reverse this process\, attempting to deduce the “cause” from measurements of the “effect.” Inverse problems are now common in medical imaging\, including CAT scans and MRIs\, in which the internal structure of an object (the “cause”) is determined from the scattering and absorption of radiation (the “effect”). \nWe discuss some basics of inverse problems\, and the challenges in solving them\, in the context of diffraction tomography\, the measurement of an object structure from a scattered field. We show how non-uniqueness in inverse problems is intimately connected with “invisibility\,” and show how this connection can be used to design seemingly “invisible” objects.

SUMMARY:Liturgical Protest from Fort Benning to Ferguson: A Presentation by Kyle Lambelet\, Emory University
DESCRIPTION:Liturgy\, literally the work of the people\, is political. It involves the movement of bodies in collective actions of confession\, praise\, lament\, and thanksgiving. Liturgy forms bodies into a body politic. In a like manner\, protest—a particular form of political action—can be liturgical. This webinar will explore the liturgy of recent protest movements\, starting with the SOA Watch’s 25-year vigil at the gates of Fort Benning and continuing to the uprisings in Ferguson\, Missouri. Kyle Lambelet will use the concept of liturgical protest to consider the theological significance of these transformative political movements.

SUMMARY:Outliers of Orthodoxy: Traditionalist Critics of the Church in the U.S. and the Russian Federation
DESCRIPTION:Over the last several years\, traditionalist bloggers and public activists have become increasingly critical of the leadership and policies of the Orthodox Church in the United States and the Russian Federation. This talk will examine the shifting and occasionally contradictory advocacies of commentators\, such as Rod Dreher\, Dmitry Tsorionov (“Enteo”)\, and Andrei Kuraev. These figures represent a new category of Orthodox intelligentsia whose understandings of faith often defy the traditionalism that they vow to defend. \nThis webinar will feature Alexandar Mihailovic\, a visiting lecturer in American studies at Williams College and emeritus of Russian and comparative literature at Hofstra University. He has written about a range of subjects\, including theology and literary theory\, 19- and 20-century Russian and Ukrainian literature\, the criminal subculture in Russia\, cultural relations during the Cold War\, popular music\, African American studies\, LGBTQ issues\, art history\, music\, and cinema studies. He has also translated Russian literature and literary criticism. \nHis books include Corporeal Words: Mikhail Bakhtin’s Theology of Discourse (Northwestern University Press\, 1997) and The Mitki and Art of Postmodern Protest in Russia (University of Wisconsin Press\, 2019)\, which has recently been re-released as an updated Russian translation published by the New Literary Review in Moscow. Together with Helga Druxes and Karolin Machtans\, he has also edited the collection Navid Kermani: Contemporary German Writers\, about the Iranian-German fiction writer and respected scholar of Islam who has positioned himself as a forthright critic of xenophobia and the resurgent far-right within Germany. \nHe is working on a book about the confluence of American and Russian far-right groups and movements titled Fearful Symmetries: The American and Russian Traditionalist Intelligentsia Looks at Gender and Race. With Druxes and Patricia A. Simpson\, Mihailovic is also co-authoring Resilient Subjects: Contemporary Cinema and Fiction Confront Neoliberalism. \nIn addition to teaching at Williams and Hofstra\, Mihailovic has taught as visiting faculty at Bennington College and at Columbia and Brown universities.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: George G. Szpiro on Risky Decisions: How Mathematical Paradoxes and Other Conundrums Have Shaped Economic Science
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, economics is about making decisions. In the history of economic thought\, great intellectual prowess has been exerted toward devising exquisite theories of optimal decision-making in situations of constraint\, risk\, and scarcity. Yet not all of our choices are purely logical\, so there is a long-standing tension between those emphasizing the rational and irrational sides of human behavior. One strand develops formal models of rational utility-maximizing\, while the other draws on what behavioral science has shown about our tendency to act irrationally. \nIn this talk\, George Szpiro will give examples of mathematical paradoxes and psychological conundrums that have led to advancements in economic science. He will challenge the audience with questions about how to make decisions\, thereby showing how people who believe themselves to be rational can be led astray. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: George G. Szpiro \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nGeorge G. Szpiro is an award-winning author and journalist. A longtime correspondent for the Swiss daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung\, his many books include Numbers Rule: The Vexing Mathematics of Democracy\, from Plato to the Present (2010) and Pricing the Future: Finance\, Physics\, and the 300-Year Journey to the Black-Scholes Equation (2011). \nCopies of Risky Business 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:Family and Other Fictions in Late-Ancient Jewish Society
DESCRIPTION:The recourse to “family law” and the language of personal status has often reproduced ahistorical concepts of family and household in the study of ancient Judaism. How did notions of mutuality and reciprocity become so embedded in the discourse about rabbinic management of women’s labor and reproduction? This talk\, presented by Pratima Gopalakrishnan\, considers what other questions we might ask about these texts once the primacy of a certain kind of “family” is challenged. \nAbout the Speaker\nGopalakrishnan is a scholar of late-antique Jewish religion and history who uses theoretical approaches drawn from feminist and queer theory\, and slavery and labor studies. She works primarily with late-antique rabbinic Jewish texts\, as well as the textual and material artifacts of late-antique and early medieval legal cultures\, and considers how ostensibly economic ancient discussions—of the household\, the agricultural field\, but also the laboring body itself—were always imbricated with the projects of defining religious\, ethnic\, and sexual difference. Gopalakrishnan received her Ph.D. from the religious studies department at Yale University\, where she wrote a dissertation titled “Domestic Labor and Marital Obligations in the Ancient Jewish Household.” She is currently the Perilman Post-Doctoral fellow at the Duke Center for Jewish Studies. \nThe Salo Baron New Voices in Jewish Studies Award Lecture is presented in partnership with Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Priesthood Using and Losing Power: Neil Connolly's Ministry in the Puerto Rican Migration
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will review how a priest\, the Rev. Neil Connolly\, came to a new understanding of power while serving the Puerto Rican Catholic population in the South Bronx from 1958 to 1985. Inspired by Vatican II\, Father Connolly used political\, clerical\, and moral power to fight against institutional forces and socio-economic epidemics. However\, his breakthrough came when he realized that his role as a priest called him to lose power and to follow a vision of the church that lets people power transform the church and the world.
