SUMMARY:Continuing Education: The Power of Language - Empowering Social Work to Influence Word Choice in Patient-Centered Care
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of communication in health care settings and beyond are decisions related to language and word choice. As palliative care has developed and been integrated across settings and diagnoses\, such phrases and concepts as “quality of life\,” “goals of care\,” and “suffering” are woven across discussions\, often without awareness of the cultural\, social\, and historical contexts of the patient and family we are serving. No matter the setting\, words and phrases significantly impact patient and family experiences\, decisional outcomes\, bereavement\, and legacy. Well-intentioned yet misplaced word choice can foster misinterpretations by patients and create distance when the goal is to enhance connection. Social workers\, as experts and leaders in communication\, can model and educate through their own language when speaking and documenting\, and can invite colleagues to join them in mitigating the unintended consequences of ineffective word choice. \nThe class will be taught by Terry Altilio LCSW\, APHSW-C\, a palliative work consultant\, and Anne Kelemen LICSW\, APHSW-C\, director of Psychosocial-Spiritual Care\, section of Palliative Care\, MedStar Washington Hospital Center. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructors\nTerry Altilio is a palliative social work consultant with more than three decades of direct practice experience in palliative care\, most recently in the Division of Palliative Care at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. She was a recipient of a Mayday Pain and Society Fellowship Award in 2006 and a Social Work Leadership award from the Open Society Institute’s Project on Death in America\, which supported a post-graduate social work fellowship and a social work listserv\, both of which are continuing programs. In 2013\, Altilio was selected to receive the Project on Death in America Career Achievement Award from the Social Work Hospice and Palliative Network. She lectures nationally and internationally on such topics as pain management\, ethics\, palliative care\, and psychosocial issues in palliative care. She also lectures in post-master’s degree programs at NYU and Smith College\, and is a guest faculty member of an internet course through California State University San Marcos. She is co-editor\, with Shirley Otis-Green\, of the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Social Work and\, with Bridget Sumser and Meaghan Leimena\, Palliative Care – A Guide for Health Social Workers. \nAnne Kelemen is the director of psychosocial/spiritual care for the Section of Palliative Care at MedStar Washington Hospital Center\, where she provides patient care\, teaches\, and participates in a variety of research activities. She is also director of the Social Work Fellowship Program\, which she created in 2019. Prior to joining the hospital’s staff\, Kelemen instituted the first palliative care service at MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital in Baltimore\, Maryland. An assistant professor of medicine at Georgetown University Medical Center\, her research interests include the intersection between language and medicine and intimacy and chronic illness. Kelemen publishes work on various topics related to palliative care and social work\, and lectures nationally and internationally.

SUMMARY:Learn Talmud Like an Artist
DESCRIPTION:What does an artist notice that a yeshiva student might not see? Daf Yomi is the study of a page of Talmud a day\, taking seven and half years to complete the cycle. Once only practiced in traditional communities\, it is now popular across the Jewish world. Jacqueline Nicholls’ Draw Yomi\, completed in January\, is a digital project that drew inspiration from the Talmud page and offers a different perspective on the text. \nNicholls is a London-based visual artist and Jewish educator. She uses her art to engage with traditional Jewish ideas in untraditional ways. Her art practice explores handwriting as a form of drawing. She coordinates arts and culture events at JW3 London and regularly teaches at the London School of Jewish Studies. Nicholls’ art has been exhibited in solo shows and significant contemporary Jewish art group shows in the U.K.\, U.S.\, Israel\, and Poland. She has an M.F.A. from Central Saint Martins\, London.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Getting Past Indecision - Skills to Support Patients' Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:This class focuses on communication skills supporting patients’ decision-making. Instructor Jennifer Halpern\, Ph.D.\, LCSW\, APHSW-C\, will explore how their decision-making may be hindered in the real-life\, stressful settings with insufficient information that often characterize palliative care situations. We will also consider how culture may influence patients’ participation in healthcare decisions. Taking these influences into account will improve our navigation of goals-of-care conversations and family meetings. Knowledgeable application of communication skills may also help patients and physicians avoid conflict and misunderstandings. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 2.5 continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructor\nJennifer Halpern\, Ph.D.\, LMSW\, APHSW-C\, is a senior medical and certified palliative social worker based at the Oncology Support Program (OSP) of the Westchester Medical Center Network/Health Alliance of the Hudson Valley. Halpern supports both inpatients and outpatients. She is the psychosocial coordinator for the hospital’s Cancer Committee and is the chair of the Ethics Committee. Recently\, Halpern has coordinated and directed the study guide for the APHSW certification exam as the Social Work Hospice & Palliative Care Network’s (SWHPN) educational consultant. Halpern received her doctorate in social psychology/organizational behavior from University of California\, Berkeley. As an assistant professor at Cornell University\, she taught both undergraduates and professionals. \nHalpern’s publications focus on communication\, negotiation\, and decision-making. She authored two chapters in—and co-edited—Debating Rationality: Nonrational Aspects of Organizational Decision Making (Frank W. Pierce Memorial Lectureship and Conference Series\, ILR Press). She has volunteered\, been a social work intern for\, and provided business consulting services for Hospicare of Tompkins County. A move to the Hudson Valley led to her current position with the OSP\, a community-oriented program that just celebrated its 25th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Joseph Calandro Jr. on Jay Gould and the Union Pacific from the Panic of 1873-1880
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the latest event in the Centennial Speaker Series\, featuring Joseph Calandro Jr. \nNo one in the United States’ financial or business history is as misunderstood and underappreciated as Jay Gould. This presentation will assess Gould’s skills as a corporate executive following his distressed investment in\, and subsequent control of\, the Union Pacific Railroad (UP). The UP was in distress due to volatility emanating from the infamous financial panic of 1873. Gould executed his turnaround in an economy devoid of monetary stimulus\, without a government bailout\, and under pressure from the government to pay back the firm’s public loans. Gould employed many modern techniques in his turnaround that are relevant to 21st-century executives. His example also serves as an important historical reminder that successful executives do not require government bailouts. \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: Joseph Calandro Jr. \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nCalandro Jr. is a managing director of a global consulting firm and a fellow of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis. He is the author of Applied Value Investing (2009) and a contributing editor to the journal Strategy & Leadership\, as well as the author of Creating Strategic Value (Columbia Business School Publishing\, 2020). In the book\, Calandro builds from a historical analysis of traditional value investing concepts to their strategic applications. He surveys value investing’s past\, present\, and future\, drawing on influential texts\, from Graham and Dodd’s time-tested works to more recent studies to reveal potent managerial lessons. Offering expert insight into the use of value investing principles in new fields\, Creating Strategic Value is an important book for corporate strategy and management practitioners at all levels\, as well as for students and researchers. \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:Pro-Life. Pro-Choice. Post-Roe? New Prospects for the Abortion Debate in America
DESCRIPTION:Views on abortion rights in the U.S. have remained almost unchanged\, while the politics of abortion have grown more polarized and partisan. Is there a way forward? Will new events force a change in the debate? While the Supreme Court’s conservative composition could overturn Roe v. Wade\, President-elect Joe Biden\, a Catholic\, is vowing to protect abortion rights. \nJoin us for a panel featuring experts and faith-based voices who bring new perspectives on the legal\, political\, and social dynamics of today’s increasingly intense argument over abortion rights—and the chances of a fundamental change in that debate. \nPanelists \nTricia Bruce is a sociologist of religion and an affiliate of the University of Notre Dame’s Center for the Study of Religion and Society. Last summer\, she published a study titled\, “How Americans Understand Abortion\,” the largest in-depth\, interview study of American attitudes on abortion. \nMary Ziegler\, a professor of law at Florida State University\, is one of the foremost authorities on the legal history of the American abortion debate. Her most recent book\, Abortion and the Law in America: Roe v. Wade to the Present (Cambridge University Press\, 2020)\, traces the legal history of the abortion debate from the recognition of a right to choose to “the likely undoing of Roe today.” \nGloria Purvis is a Catholic radio host and popular media commentator. She served on the National Black Catholic Congress’s Leadership Commission on Social Justice and describes herself as “dedicated to promoting the sanctity of human life\, marriage\, and the dignity of the human person.” \nKatelyn Beaty is a former managing editor of Christianity Today\, the flagship evangelical magazine\, and an author and journalist who has written for The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, and The Washington Post. She is an acquisitions editor for Brazos Press and is writing a book about celebrity in the church. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the online audience.

SUMMARY:Singed by History: Lucy S. Dawidowicz
DESCRIPTION:Join Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies for a webinar with Nancy Sinkoff\, who will discuss her new book\, From Left to Right: Lucy S. Dawidowicz\, the New York Intellectuals\, and the Politics of Jewish History (Wayne State University Press\, 2020). The book is the first comprehensive biography of Dawidowicz (1915–1990)\, a pioneer historian in the field that is now called Holocaust studies. This lecture will focus on Dawidowicz’s view of Polish-Jewish relations\, which was informed by her fateful year living in Vilna\, Poland\, in 1938-1939\, experience working with refugee scholars at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York City during the war\, and the all-encompassing culture of the Cold War. All these components shaped her historiographic perspective on writing the history of the destruction of East European Jewry. \nAbout the Speaker\nSinkoff is a professor of Jewish studies and history at Rutgers University\, where she serves as the academic director of the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life. She is the author of Out of the Shtetl: Making Jews Modern in the Polish Borderlands (Brown Judaic Studies\, 2004)\, which has recently been reissued digitally with a new preface\, and Sara Levy’s World: Gender\, Judaism\, and the Bach Tradition in Enlightenment Berlin (University of Rochester Press\, 2018)\, which won the outstanding book prize from the Jewish Studies and Music Study Group of the American Musicological Society. \nSinkoff is a recipient of numerous fellowships\, including from the Mellon Foundation\, the IIE Fulbright Association\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, the National Foundation for Jewish Culture\, the Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, Yale University’s Beinecke Library\, the Frankel Center at the University of Michigan\, the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati\, and the USC Shoah Foundation. From 2016-2017\, she was the Elizabeth J. Dilworth Fellow in Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton\, New Jersey.

SUMMARY:The Four Martyred Churchwomen: Allies in Today's Struggle for Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:On Dec. 2\, 1980\, Sisters Dorothy Kazel\, Ita Ford\, and Maura Clarke\, along with lay missionary Jean Donovan\, were raped and brutally murdered by National Guardsmen in El Salvador because they had dared to side with the marginalized in their struggle for human dignity. Forty years after their deaths\, their stories still serve as an inspiration for all who struggle nonviolently against racism\, economic injustice\, and the mistreatment of immigrants and refugees. At a time when the Catholic Church is rocked by scandals and seen as no longer relevant by an ever-growing number of young people\, their lives of faith-based service to those who suffered injustice also provide a much-needed blueprint for a church in need of reform.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: AmphiLight: Direct Air-Water Communication with Laser Light
DESCRIPTION:Charlie Carver\, FCRH’2018\, of Dartmouth College\, will present the “AmphiLight: Direct Air-Water Communication with Laser Light” lecture. Air-water communication is fundamental for efficient underwater operations\, such as environmental monitoring\, surveying\, or coordinating heterogeneous aerial and underwater systems. Existing wireless techniques mostly focus on a single physical medium and fall short in achieving high-bandwidth bidirectional communication across the air-water interface. We propose a bidirectional\, direct air-water wireless communication link based on laser light\, capable of (1) adapting to water dynamics with ultrasonic sensing and (2) steering within a full 3D hemisphere using only a MEMS mirror and passive optical elements. In real-world experiments\, our system achieves static throughputs up to 5.04 Mbps\, zero-BER transmission ranges up to 6.1m in strong ambient light conditions\, and connection time improvements between 47.1 percent and 29.5 percent during wave dynamics.

SUMMARY:Time and Difference in Rabbinic Judaism
DESCRIPTION:Sarit Kattan Gribetz’s new book\, Time and Difference in Rabbinic Judaism\, explores the rhythms of time that animated the rabbinic world of late antiquity\, revealing how rabbis conceptualized time as a way of constructing difference between themselves and imperial Rome\, Jews and Christians\, men and women\, and human and divine. The book sheds new light on the central role that time played in the construction of Jewish identity\, subjectivity\, and theology during this transformative period in the history of Judaism\, and traces the legacies of rabbinic constructions of time in the medieval and modern periods. \nPlease join us for a conversation between the author and Elizabeth Shanks Alexander\, a scholar of rabbinics\, as they discuss the big themes from the book and the implications of the book’s findings for how we understand time\, religion\, and community today\, as well as key rabbinic passages that are central in the book\, \nFor more information about the book\, visit https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691192857/time-and-difference-in-rabbinic-judaism. \nAbout the Speakers\nGribetz is an associate professor of theology at Fordham and author of Time and Difference in Rabbinic Judaism (Princeton University Press\, 2020). \nAlexander is a professor of religious studies at the University of Virginia and author of Gender and Timebound Commandments in Judaism (Cambridge University Press\, 2013)\, Transmitting Mishnah: The Shaping Influence of Oral Tradition (Cambridge University Press\, 2009)\, and co-editor with Beth Berkowitz of Religious Studies and Rabbinics (Routledge\, 2017).

SUMMARY:The Illuminated World Chronicle: Tales from the Late Medieval City
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a conversation celebrating the publication of Nina Rowe’s new book\, The Illuminated World Chronicle: Tales from the Late Medieval City (Yale University Press\, 2020). This multidisciplinary study examines a curious genre of illustrated books that gained popularity among the newly emergent middle class of late medieval cities. These illuminated World Chronicles\, produced in the Bavarian and Austrian regions from around 1330 to 1430\, were the popular histories of their day\, telling tales from the Bible\, ancient mythology\, and the lives of emperors in animated\, vernacular verse enhanced by dynamic images. \nThe World Chronicle stories recast stories of the past to meet the interests of late medieval urban dwellers and include surprising narratives—the devil sneaks aboard Noah’s Ark and cons a couple into having a forbidden tryst\, Achilles engages in combat like a medieval knight\, and Charlemagne becomes romantically enraptured with his deceased wife. Among the lively anecdotes is a suite of episodes about Moses that explore the patriarch’s Judaism and marriage to an African princess. \nRowe will explore the images and texts that recount these spirited tales in a conversation with Ephraim Shoham-Steiner\, an expert on urban life in Europe in the late Middle Ages. \nAbout the Speakers\nRowe is a professor of art history at Fordham. Previous publications include The Jew\, the Cathedral and the Medieval City: Synagoga and Ecclesia in the Thirteenth Century (Cambridge\, 2011) and Manuscript Illumination in the Modern Age: Recovery and Reconstruction (Mary & Leigh Block Gallery\, 2001\, co-authored with Sandra Hindman\, Michael Camille\, and Rowan Watson). Rowe’s research has been supported by fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities (2016-2017)\, the American Council of Learned Societies (2016-2017)\, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2007-2008). She is currently president of the International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA). \nShoham-Steiner is a professor of medieval Jewish history in the department of Jewish history at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. 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).

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Bruce Greenwald on Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond with an Introduction by Mario Gabelli
DESCRIPTION:In the modern era\, investors are increasingly caught up in so-called hot tips\, can’t-miss startups\, excessive optimism\, and short-term speculation. Value investing is the antithesis to these short-sighted approaches and stresses what Ben Graham—the father of value investing—referred to as the “margin of safety” when describing the gap between an equity’s price and its value. \nA classic\, seminal work in the field\, Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond has been updated in a second edition to include the latest trends and a close look at some of the emerging investors who continue in the value investing tradition of Graham and Warren Buffett. Featuring an exploration of the history of value investing and those who brought this investment approach to the fore\, you will also discover the real-world techniques you can use to propel your own portfolio using a sound\, proven approach to discovering value. \nDigital copies of Value Investing: From Graham to Buffett and Beyond will be raffled off to attendees. \nAgenda\n6 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n6:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: Mario Gabelli\, founder\, chairman\, and CEO of Gabelli Asset Management Company Investors \n6:08 p.m.: Discussion: Bruce Greenwald \n6:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n7 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Dean Rapaccioli \nAbout the Speaker\nGreenwald is the Robert Heilbrunn Professor of Finance and Asset Management at Columbia Business School and the academic co-director of the Heilbrunn Center for Graham & Dodd Investing. Described by The New York Times as “a guru to Wall Street’s gurus\,” Greenwald is an authority on value investing\, with additional expertise in productivity and the economics of information. \nMario J. Gabelli is the chairman and CEO of GAMCO Investors\, Inc.\, the firm he founded in 1977. A 1965 summa cum laude graduate of Fordham’s College of Business Administration\, he also holds an M.B.A. from Columbia University Graduate School of Business and honorary doctorates from Fordham and Roger Williams University.

SUMMARY:St. Ignatius Loyola Chair Lecture: Exploring Conceptual Plasticity: Should We Attribute Legal Personality to Intelligent Machines?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the St. Ignatius Loyola Chair Lecture featuring Louis Caruana\, S.J. To describe computers and sophisticated robots\, many people today have no problem using personal attributes. Alan Turing published his famous intelligence test in 1950. From then on\, computers have gained an increasingly higher status in this regard. Computers and robots nowadays are not only intelligent. They perceive\, they remember\, they understand\, they decide\, they play\, and so on. Recently\, a further step has been taken\, but\, this time\, many researchers are seriously concerned. \nIn 2017\, the European Parliament passed a resolution to attribute legal personality to intelligent robots. If this is accepted as law\, it will have significant consequences for our self-understanding and for the way we live together as a community. This resolution and similar proposals in the U.S. have stimulated various studies\, arising mainly from the area of legal studies. It is important\, however\, that the response also include a philosophical component on how fundamental concepts change. This lecture seeks to make a contribution of this kind. It explores the attribution of legal personality to machines by focusing on what is happening at the level of meaning\, in view of indicating what dangers could lie ahead and what could be the right way to avoid them. \nAbout the Speaker\nCaruana is a Jesuit priest\, a philosophy professor at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome\, and an adjunct scholar at the Vatican Observatory. He started his education with a degree in mathematics and physics\, and then proceeded with a master’s degree in philosophy and another one in theology. He obtained his Ph.D. at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. His previous service includes a six-year term of office as faculty dean and a seven-year period of teaching and research at Heythrop College at the University of London\, where he was appointed reader in 2003. He spent time as a non-stipendiary research scholar at the University of Notre Dame in 2009 and at the Australian National University in 2015. \nHis research deals with the interaction between philosophy of science\, metaphysics\, and philosophy of religion\, and his publications include three monographs: Holism and the Understanding of Science (2000)\, Science and Virtue (2006)\, and Nature: Its Conceptual Architecture (2015). He is also the contributing editor of two interdisciplinary volumes: Darwin and Catholicism (2009) and The Beginning and End of the Universe (2016\, in Italian).

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium: Applications of Dose Calculation Algorithms in Medical Physics
DESCRIPTION:Marissa Vaccarelli\, FCRH ‘2018\, who specializes in radiation therapy at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will present the “Applications of Dose Calculation Algorithms in Medical Physics” lecture. This presentation will discuss the various classes of dose calculation algorithms used in radiation therapy treatment planning\, as well as research applications. Model and direct methods\, such as convolution superposition and Monte Carlo\, respectively\, will be highlighted. \nTwo projects harnessing the automated calculation of therapeutic dose in radiation oncology will be examined. First\, knowledge-based treatment planning involves dose estimation based on organ segmentation of computed tomography simulation images. Using the Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm of the Eclipse Treatment Planning System\, an iterative optimization approach can be utilized to auto-generate clinically feasible plans. Second\, rapid dose calculation can also be used for managing and mitigating intra-fractional patient motion during treatment delivery.
