SUMMARY:Diamonds and Rags: One Hasidic Gem Broker’s Quest for Precarity
DESCRIPTION:The wholesale trade and manufacturing of diamonds\, which once supported the vast majority of Antwerp’s Jewish male workforce\, has steadily relocated to less-regulated zones in the “midstream pipeline” of the diamond supply chain. This lecture draws upon extended ethnographic fieldwork that Sam Shuman conducted with diamond traders\, brokers\, manufacturers\, and artisans from 2017 to 2019 across the global diamond supply chain. \nShuman will focus on the story of Lazer\, a Hasidic rough diamond broker in Antwerp\, Belgium\, who\, like many people in today’s economy\, faces disintermediation—being cut out as a middleman or intermediary in an industry or global supply chain. In the wake of this uncertainty\, Lazer articulates an economic theology in which God intentionally places Jews in a constant state of dependence. According to Lazer’s economic theology\, God intentionally disperses provisions that never last; followers must\, in turn\, constantly beg God for more provisions. God does not desire supplicants to ever accumulate wealth. Accumulation of wealth is neither a sign of God’s election nor an assurance of future success. Here\, Shuman offers an intimate ethnographic portrait of how ancient rabbinic texts are being reimagined in the 21st century. Shuman explores how economic theology operates within the commercial world of the diamond industry and within contemporary Hasidic cosmologies of wealth\, dependence\, risk\, and security. \nSam Shuman is currently the Rabin-Shvidler Postdoctoral Fellow at Fordham and Columbia. Shuman is an anthropologist of race\, religion\, and political economy who researches global Jewish mobility\, trade\, and empire. Their dissertation\, “Cutting Out the Middleman: The Diamond Industry & the Politics of Displacement in a European Port City\,” explores cooperation and competition between and across diasporic trading groups to hold control over the wholesale diamond trade as the state reasserts its control. In so doing\, it reveals not only the struggle over power between trading diasporas but also between state and diaspora. Shuman is certified as a polished diamond grader and has conducted more than 18 months of fieldwork among wholesale diamond traders\, brokers\, and manufacturers in Antwerp\, Ramat Gan\, Mumbai\, and Surat. Their research has been funded by Fulbright\, the National Science Foundation\, and the Social Science Research Council. They received their Ph.D. in sociocultural anthropology\, with a graduate certificate in Judaic studies\, from the University of Michigan in 2021. Their work has appeared in Religions\, Images: A Journal of Jewish Art and Visual Culture\, The Jewish Quarterly (UK)\, and is forthcoming in Feminist Studies in Religion.

SUMMARY:The Power of the Crucified: Insights from Liberation & Womanist Theology
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture presented by Andrew Prevot\, Boston College. \nTheologians have discerned the presence of the crucified Christ in oppressed peoples. They have wrestled with challenging questions about how to understand such crucified groups not only as victims but also as Christologically empowered agents of salvation. Drawing on the works of Ignacio Ellacuría and M. Shawn Copeland\, this paper develops a liberationist\, womanist perspective on the power of the crucified.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Esquivel\, Ph.D.\, associate scientist within the particle physics division in Fermilab’s Muon Department\, will present\, “Can Wobbling Muons Probe Physics Beyond the Standard Model? Fermilab’s Muon g-2 Run 1 Results.” \nOn April 7\, 2021\, Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment announced its first results of the precision measurement of the anomalous muon magnetic moment based on its 2018 Run-1 dataset. These results align with the Brookhaven National Laboratory experimental value\, and the combined values increase the tension between experiment and theory from 3.7 to 4.2 sigma. This talk will give an overview of the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment\, discuss the steps necessary to precisely measure wobbling muons\, why this result has the physics community abuzz\, and what’s next. \nAbout the Speaker\nEsquivel has recently been promoted to associate scientist at Fermilab\, where she works on the Muon g-2 experiment. She is one of roughly 100 Black women with a Ph.D. in physics in the country\, the second black woman to graduate with a Ph.D. in physics from Syracuse University\, and the third Black woman to hold an associate scientist position at Fermilab. She identifies as female\, Black\, Mexican\, lesbian\, neurodivergent\, a physicist\, and Texan. Esquivel is a recognized advocate for creating just and equitable spaces in physics and focuses on the intersections of race\, gender\, and sexuality in her community-engagement efforts. She is a member of APS-IDEA\, co-founder of BlackInPhysics\, part of the Change-Now collective\, and is an AAAS IF/THEN Ambassador. Esquivel has also appeared on CBS’s Emmy-nominated educational program Mission Unstoppable\, on which she discussed the physics behind makeup\, and on the Science Channel’s How the Universe Works\, on which she discussed how neutrinos could be the key to the mysteries of our universe.

SUMMARY:The Forgotten Violence of the 20th Century: A Conversation About Trauma\, History\, and Forgetting with Elissa Bemporad\, Jaclyn Granick\, and Jefferey Veidlinger
DESCRIPTION:The 20th century was marked by mass violence\, with the Shoah and World War II dominating historical memory. But decades before the Shoah\, other instances of mass violence took place with tens—if not hundreds—of thousands of Jews massacred in eastern Europe. Scholars and readers of Jewish history know and remember the pogroms of 1881\, the Kishinev pogrom\, and the pogroms of 1905\, but the violence that followed the Great War\, or as we now call it World War I\, has largely been forgotten. Three recent books have recovered this traumatic past: Elissa Bemporad’s Legacy of Blood: Jews\, Pogroms\, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets (2019)\, Jaclyn Granick’s International Jewish Humanitarianism in the Age of the Great War (2021)\, and Jefferey Veidlinger’s In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918–1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust (2021). This panel will explore the forgotten violence\, its history\, and its legacy. \nElissa Bemporad is the Ungar Chair in East European Jewish History and the Holocaust\, and is a professor of history at both Queens College and the CUNY Graduate Center. She is a two-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award. She is the author of Becoming Soviet Jews: The Bolshevik Experiment in Minsk (2013) and Legacy of Blood: Jews\, Pogroms\, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the Soviets (2019). Bemporad is the co-editor of two volumes: Women and Genocide: Survivors\, Victims\, Perpetrators (2018) and Pogroms: A Documentary History (Oxford University Press\, 2021). \nJaclyn Granick is a lecturer in modern Jewish history at Cardiff University in Wales\, United Kingdom. She is the author of International Jewish Humanitarianism in the Age of the Great War (Cambridge\, 2021) and co-editor of a special issue of the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies titled Gendering Jewish Inter/Nationalism (2022). She is currently serving as co-investigator of the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded Jewish Country Houses research project. \nJeffrey Veidlinger is the Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan. He is the author of In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918-1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust and the award-winning books The Moscow State Yiddish Theater: Jewish Culture on the Soviet Stage (2000)\, Jewish Public Culture in the Late Russian Empire (2009)\, and In the Shadow of the Shtetl: Small-Town Jewish Life in Soviet Ukraine (2013). He is the editor of Going to the People: Jews and Ethnographic Impulse (2016). = Veidlinger is chair of the Academic Advisory Council of the Center for Jewish History\, a member of the executive committee of the American Academy for Jewish Research\, and a former vice president of the Association for Jewish Studies\, \nThe discussion will be moderated by Magda Teter\, the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University and the author of Blood Libel: On The Trail of an Antisemitic Myth (Harvard\, 2020)\, Sinners on Trial: Jews and Sacrilege after the Reformation (Harvard\, 2011)\, and Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland (Cambridge\, 2006).

SUMMARY:Taking Responsibility: Jesuit Educational Institutions Confront the Causes and Legacy of Clergy Sexual Abuse Keynote Plenary Panel
DESCRIPTION:This panel features five distinguished speakers addressing the core questions of the Taking Responsibility project. They will help us ask how to confront and handle the history of clerical sexual abuse and its many legacies in the present. This event brings together one of the foremost researchers on clerical sexual abuse in the United States\, a Jesuit who is also a survivor of clerical sexual abuse and whose research is directed at the crisis\, two well-known writers who are survivors and who have deep ties to Jesuit educational institutions\, including Fordham\, and the director of a major Truth and Healing initiative at a Jesuit-sponsored high school for Native American students. \nFrom their own perspectives\, each member of this group will reflect on the long and recent history of the sexual abuse crisis. We are honored to host these colleagues as they address the pressing question of what it means for today’s Jesuit institutions (and their employees\, students\, and graduates) to take responsibility for addressing and redressing the bitter legacy of clerical sexual abuse.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Song Searcher
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion on Song Searcher\, a documentary about Moyshe Beregovsky\, a musician and scholar\, who traveled across Ukraine during the most dramatic years of Soviet history with a phonograph to record and study the traditional music of Ukrainian Jews. His work began in the 1920s and ended with his arrest and imprisonment in a Stalinist labor camp in 1950. Most of the songs he recorded on hundreds of fragile wax cylinders were deemed destroyed. But Beregovsky succeeded in saving the musical heritage of the centuries-old Yiddish civilization. He rescued the living voice of Ukrainian Jews from the flames of the Holocaust but paid for it with his life. \nPanelists \n\nAnna Shternishis\, University of Toronto\nLyudmila Sholokhova\, New York Public Library Dorot Jewish Division\nMark Slobin\, Wesleyan University\nGennady Estraikh\, New York University\n\nA password-protected link to a virtual screening of the film and a Zoom link to the panel discussion will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Roger Lowenstein on Ways and Means: Lincoln and His Cabinet and the Financing of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with renowned journalist and master storyteller Roger Lowenstein\, as he discusses his revelatory financial investigation into how President Abraham Lincoln and his administration used the funding of the Civil War as the catalyst to centralize the government and accomplish the most far-reaching reform in the country’s history. \nLincoln inherited a country in crisis. Even before the Confederacy’s secession\, the U.S. Treasury had run out of money. The government had no authority to raise taxes\, no federal bank\, and no currency. But amid unprecedented troubles\, Lincoln saw an opportunity: the chance to legislate in the centralizing spirit of the “more perfect union” that had first drawn him to politics. With Lincoln at the helm\, the United States would now govern “for” its people: it would enact laws\, establish a currency\, raise armies\, underwrite transportation and higher education\, assist farmers\, and impose taxes. Lincoln believed this agenda would foster the economic opportunity he had always sought for upwardly striving Americans. \nSalmon Chase\, Lincoln’s vanquished rival and his new secretary of the Treasury\, waged war on the financial front\, levying taxes and marketing bonds while desperately battling to contain wartime inflation. And while the Union and rebel armies fought increasingly savage battles\, the Republican-led Congress enacted a blizzard of legislation that made the government\, for the first time\, a powerful presence in the lives of ordinary Americans. The impact was revolutionary. The activist 37th Congress legislated for homesteads and a transcontinental railroad and involved the federal government in education\, agriculture\, and eventually immigration policy. It established a progressive income tax and created the greenback—paper money. While the Union became self-sustaining\, the South plunged into financial free fall\, having failed to leverage its cotton wealth to finance the war. Founded in a crucible of anti-centralism\, the Confederacy was trapped in a static (and slave-based) agrarian economy without federal taxing power or other means of government financing\, save for its overworked printing presses. This led to an epic collapse. Though Confederate troops continued to hold their own\, the North’s financial advantage over the South\, where citizens increasingly went hungry\, proved decisive; the war was won as much (or more) in the respective treasuries as on the battlefields. \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: Roger Lowenstein \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nRoger Lowenstein reported for The Wall Street Journal for more than a decade. His work also has appeared in Bloomberg\, The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Fortune\, The Atlantic\, and the New York Review of Books. In addition to Ways and Means\, his books include the NYT bestsellers Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist\, When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management\, and The End of Wall Street\, as well as the critically acclaimed Origins of the Crash: The Great Bubble and Its Undoing\, While America Aged\, and America’s Bank: The Epic Struggle to Create the Federal Reserve. \nCopies of Ways and Means 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:Melting Pots of Various Sizes: Jewish and Catholic Approaches to Americanization
DESCRIPTION:When immigration from southern and eastern Europe began rising in the 1880s\, many American Jews and Catholics viewed their co-religionists with a mixture of welcome\, apprehension\, and horror. With roots in Germany and Ireland\, these religious communities had overcome prejudices and made places for themselves within a Protestant-dominated society. The sight of Italians parading hometown saints down the streets and Yiddish-speaking\, bearded men peddling their wares threatened to undermine all they had achieved. While the historical narrative typically tells a story of clashing sensibilities\, American Jews and Catholics had widely varying ideas of the degree to which newcomers should assimilate. This talk will reveal previously overlooked nuances within Jewish and Catholic communities and give particular attention to regional differences. \nAnne Blankenship is an associate professor of religious studies a North Dakota State University’s History\, Philosophy\, and Religious Studies Department. Her research investigates religious responses to injustice and relationships between national\, racial\, and religious identities. Her book Christianity\, Social Justice\, and Japanese American Incarceration during World War II demonstrated how injustice transformed Asian American Christianity and challenged religious and racial boundaries in liberal American Christianity. Blankenship’s current book project is titled Religion\, Race\, and Immigration: How Jews\, Catholics\, and Protestants Faced Mass Immigration\, 1882-1924. The project has received support from several institutions\, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Academy of Religion. She received her doctoral degree in American religious history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, completed a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion & Politics at Washington University in St. Louis\, and is a member of the Center for the Study of Religion & American Culture’s current Young Scholars of American Religion cohort. Blankenship teaches a wide range of courses\, including world religions\, history of Christianity\, global Islam\, new religious movements\, American religious history\, and religion and politics. \nThis event is co-presented by the Center for Jewish History and Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Common Good Constitutionalism
DESCRIPTION:Americans’ understanding of their Constitution and legal tradition has been dominated in recent decades by two contested themes: the “originalism” of conservatives and the “living constitutionalism” of progressives. Is it time to look for an alternative? Harvard Law School’s Adrian Vermeule says the alternative underlies the American legal tradition. He calls for “common good constitutionalism\,” which draws on “the classical synthesis of Roman law\, canon law\, and local civil law.” \nJoin us for a conversation with Eric J. Segall\, professor of law at Georgia State University; Fordham philosophy and law professor Michael Baur; and James E. Fleming\, professor of law at Boston University. The panel will be moderated by George Conk\, senior fellow at Fordham’s Stein Center for Law and Ethics.

SUMMARY:Zionism: An Emotional State
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk with Harvard University’s Derek Penslar. Based on Penslar’s forthcoming book\, the talk relates the history of Zionism through the lens of emotion. It argues that Zionism is a matrix of emotional states—bundles of feeling whose elements vary in volume\, intensity\, and durability across space and time. The history of emotions is a flourishing sub-field that dates back at least a half-century\, but few historians of Zionism have engaged with it\, preferring to focus on ideology and political institutions. Yet emotions are key to understanding Zionism\, which has historically been sustained by visceral sentiment\, as well as instrumental reasoning and moral values. Emotion is one of the most important cohesive forces within states and social movements. Scholars have created paradigms of “emotional regimes” created by states and informal “emotional communities\,” but the Zionist project has combined aspects of both. Just as the study of Zionism can benefit greatly from an emotional perspective\, emotional history is also enriched by engagement with a case that challenges reigning paradigms in the field. \nDerek Penslar is the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History at Harvard University. He previously taught at Indiana University\, the University of Toronto\, and Oxford University\, where he was the inaugural Stanley Lewis Chair in Modern Israel Studies. Penslar takes a comparative and transnational approach to Jewish history\, which he studies within the contexts of modern capitalism\, nationalism\, and colonialism. Penslar’s books include Shylock’s Children: Economics and Modern Identity in Modern Europe (2001)\, Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective (2006)\, The Origins of the State of Israel: A Documentary History (with Eran Kaplan\, 2011)\, Jews and the Military: A History (2013)\, and Theodor Herzl: The Charismatic Leader (2020). He is currently completing a book titled Zionism: An Emotional State and is beginning work on a global history of the 1948 Palestine War. Penslar is president of the American Academy for Jewish Research\, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and an honorary fellow of St. Anne’s College\, Oxford.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Gillian Tett on Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See in Business and Life
DESCRIPTION:Amid severe digital disruption\, economic upheaval\, and political flux\, how can we make sense of the world? Leaders today typically look for answers in economic models\, big data\, or artificial intelligence platforms. Gillian Tett points to anthropology—the study of human culture. \nAnthropologists learn to get inside the minds of other people\, helping them not only understand other cultures but also appraise their own environment with a fresh perspective as an insider-outsider\, gaining lateral vision. Today\, anthropologists are more likely to study Amazon warehouses than remote Amazon tribes. They have done research into institutions and companies\, such as General Motors\, Nestlé\, Intel\, and more\, shedding light on such practical questions as how Internet users define themselves\, why corporate projects fail\, why bank traders miscalculate losses\, how companies sell certain products\, and why pandemic policies succeed (or not). Anthropology makes the familiar seem unfamiliar and vice versa\, giving a 3D perspective in a world where many executives are plagued by tunnel vision\, especially in fields like finance and technology. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Gillian Tett \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nGillian Tett serves as the chair of the editorial board and U.S. editor at large of the Financial Times. She writes weekly columns\, covering a range of economic\, financial\, political\, and social issues. She is also the co-founder of FT Moral Money\, a twice-weekly newsletter that tracks the ESG revolution in business and finance\, which has since grown to be a staple FT product. In 2020 and 2021\, Moral Money won the SABEW best newsletter. \nPreviously\, Tett was the FT’s U.S. managing editor from 2013 to 2019. She has also served as assistant editor for the FT’s markets coverage\, capital markets editor\, deputy editor of the Lex column\, Tokyo bureau chief\, Tokyo correspondent\, London-based economics reporter\, and a reporter in Russia and Brussels. She is the author of The Silo Effect (2016) and Fool’s Gold (2009)\, a New York Times bestseller and Financial Book of the Year at the inaugural Spear’s Book Awards\, and Saving the Sun: A Wall Street Gamble to Rescue Japan from its Trillion Dollar Meltdown (2003). Her latest book is Anthro-Vision: A New Way to See In Business and Life (2021). \nIn 2014\, Tett won the Royal Anthropological Institute Marsh Award and was named Columnist of the Year at the British Press Awards. Her 2012 article “Madoff Spins His Story” won the SABEW Award for best feature article. Before joining the Financial Times in 1993\, Tett earned a Ph.D. in social anthropology from Cambridge University based on field work in the former Soviet Union. While pursuing the Ph.D.\, she freelanced for the FT and the BBC. \nCopies of Anthro-Vision 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:New York Jews and New York Social Democracy
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between Daniel Soyer and Robert W. Snyder about Daniel Soyer’s new book\, Left in the Center: The Liberal Party of New York and the Rise and Fall of American Social Democracy (Cornell\, 2022). \nBetween the 1930s and the 1970s\, New Yorkers benefited from a kind of social-democracy-in-one-city unusual in the United States. Also unusual were the strong minor parties that played an important role in New York’s politics and helped formulate its social policy. Chief among these was the Liberal Party\, which drew support especially from the garment unions and the city’s working- and middle-class Jewish community. In its heyday\, the party could mobilize tens of thousands of people\, many of them union members\, and sway elections. By the end of the 20th century\, New York’s social democracy was in tatters\, and many charged that the Liberal Party had degenerated into a cynical patronage machine. Daniel Soyer discusses the roots of the Liberal Party and New York’s brand of social liberalism in the Jewish immigrant labor and Socialist movements\, their infusion into mainstream politics\, their influence on the city and state\, and their decline — along with their Jewish ethnic base — toward the end of the century. While the Liberal Party no longer exists\, small parties like the Working Families and Conservative Parties still play a significant role in local politics\, and so lessons drawn from the Liberal Party’s history are still relevant today. \nYou can get a 30% discount with code 09BCARD from Cornell University Press when you order the book from Cornell University Press. \nDaniel Soyer is a professor of history and Jewish studies at Fordham University and editor of The Jewish Metropolis: New York City from the 17th to the 21st Century (Academic Studies Press\, 2021). In addition to his most recent book\, he has published The Emerging Metropolis: New York Jews in the Age of Immigration\, 1840-1920 (NYU\, 2012)\, co-written with Annie Polland and winner of a National Jewish Book Award\, and Jewish Immigrant Associations and American Identity in New York\, 1880-1939 (Harvard\, 1997)\, winner of the Saul Viener Award of the American Jewish Historical Society. He also is co-editor of the journal American Jewish History. \nRobert W. Snyder has devoted his career to writing and teaching about the history of New York City. Currently editing a documentary history of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York\, he is the Manhattan borough historian and professor emeritus of American studies and journalism at Rutgers University. He writes for both scholars and the general public in such books as Crossing Broadway: Washington Heights and the Promise of New York and All the Nations Under Heaven: Immigrants\, Migrants and the Making of New York. He has consulted for both the Museum of the City of New York and the Smithsonian Institution. A former Fulbright lecturer in American studies in Korea and a member of the New York Academy History\, he lives in Manhattan.

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED: Centennial Speaker Series: Mary Childs on The Bond King: How One Man Made a Market\, Built an Empire\, and Lost It All
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with the host of NPR’s Planet Money as she uncovers the deeply investigated story of how one visionary\, dogged investor changed American finance forever. Before Bill Gross was known among investors as the Bond King\, he was a gambler. In 1966\, a fresh college grad\, he went to Las Vegas armed with his net worth ($200) and a knack for counting cards. Countless casino bans and $10\,000 later\, he was hooked: So he enrolled in business school. \nThe Bond King is the story of how that whiz kid made American finance his casino. Over the course of decades\, Gross turned the sleepy bond market into a destabilized game of high risk\, high reward; founded Pimco\, one of today’s most powerful\, secretive\, and cutthroat investment firms; helped to reshape our financial system in the aftermath of the Great Recession—to his own advantage; and gained legions of admirers and enemies along the way. Like every American antihero\, his ambition would also be his undoing. \nTo understand the winners and losers of today’s money game\, journalist Mary Childs argues\, is to understand the bond market—and to understand the bond market is to understand the Bond King. \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: Mary Childs \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nMary Childs is a co-host and correspondent for NPR’s Planet Money podcast. Previously\, she was a reporter at Barron’s magazine\, the Financial Times\, and Bloomberg News. She graduated from Washington & Lee University in Lexington\, Virginia\, with a degree in business journalism. \nCopies of The Bond King will be raffled off to attendees. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the CFA Society New York\, the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\, and the Museum of American Finance.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: James Park on The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with UCLA Law professor James Park\, author of the forthcoming book The Valuation Treadmill: How Securities Fraud Threatens the Integrity of Public Companies\, who will discuss the history of securities fraud regulation from the 1960s until the present. \nPublic companies now face constant pressure to meet investor expectations. The typical public company must continually deliver strong short-term performance every quarter to maintain its stock price. This valuation treadmill creates incentives for corporations to deceive investors. Published 20 years after the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley\, which requires all public companies to invest in measures to ensure the accuracy of their disclosures\, The Valuation Treadmill shows how securities fraud became a major regulatory concern. Drawing on case studies of paradigmatic securities enforcement actions involving Xerox\, Penn Central\, Apple\, Enron\, Citigroup\, and General Electric\, the book argues that corporate securities fraud emerged as investors increasingly valued companies based on their future performance. Corporations now have an incentive to issue unrealistically optimistic disclosure to convince markets that their success will continue. Securities regulation must do more to protect the integrity of public companies from the pressure of the valuation treadmill. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Sris Chatterjee\, chair\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:03 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: James Park \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nJames Park is a professor of law at UCLA School of Law\, where he teaches securities regulation. Before becoming a law professor\, he worked as an assistant attorney general in the Investor Protection Bureau of the New York Attorney General’s Office. He is a graduate of Yale Law School and Miami University (Ohio). \nCopies of The Valuation Treadmill 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.
