SUMMARY:Ants Among Elephants: A Discussion with Author Sujatha Gidla
DESCRIPTION:Sujatha Gidla’s debut memoir\, Ants Among Elephants: An Untouchable Family and the Making of Modern India (2017)\, was hailed as an outstanding account of the brutal caste system in India and that nation’s history over a century. As Pankaj Mishra wrote in The New York Review of Books\, Gidla’s story of growing up in a Christian and Dalit family “combines many different genres―memoir\, history\, ethnography\, and literature―and is outstanding in the intensity and scale of its revelations.” \nGidla joins us for this webinar to discuss a range of issues\, including the caste system in India and how it compares to the treatment of Black people in the United States. She will also talk about her writing process\, how the West views her as a female immigrant author\, her work as a New York City subway conductor\, and falling prey to COVID-19—an experience she wrote about in a powerful New York Times op-ed. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion and take questions from the online audience.

SUMMARY:Women Scholars of Orthodox Christianity Featuring Kristina Stoeckl
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center is delighted to present the eighth 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. \nThis episode features an interview with Kristina Stoeckl\, professor of sociology at Innsbruck University in Austria. Against an interdisciplinary background of philology\, philosophy\, international relations\, and sociology\, she has published books and articles on the post-Soviet Russian Orthodox Church and on religion and modernity. Her book\, The Russian Orthodox Church and Human Rights (2014)\, became the starting point for a five-year research project funded by the European Research Council. This project\, titled Postsecular Conflicts\, has examined the connections between the Russian Orthodox Church and global moral conservative networks of the Christian Right in numerous publications. \nShe is currently working on a monograph (with Dmitry Uzlaner) titled Moralist International: The Russian Orthodox Church in the Global Culture Wars. Together with Aristotle Papanikolaou and Ingeborg Gabriel\, she has edited the volume Political Theologies in Orthodox Christianity: Common Challenges – Divergent Positions (2017). Her comparative political sociology of religions approach puts emphasis on actors and processes in order to understand the complex ways in which religious traditions negotiate their relationship with modernity. \nThe episode will include some time for live audience questions. The Center will archive each episode on its website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Clinical Work with Demoralization in Serious Illness
DESCRIPTION:Demoralization\, a cluster of experiences centered around feelings of hopelessness\, helplessness\, and existential angst\, is increasingly understood as an aspect of the illness experience\, distinct from depression. Clinicians often struggle with how to respond to this kind of pain\, for which there is rarely a clear answer or solution. This workshop seeks to help participants better understand the development of demoralization as a symptom and as a syndrome\, presents case studies that highlight demoralization and the role of the social worker\, and provides insight into best practices for clinical practice with seriously ill patients in any setting. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 2.5 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Lebanon’s Tragedy\, Lebanon’s Hopes: An Update on Beirut from Cardinal Béchara Boutros Raï
DESCRIPTION:The enormous explosion that rocked Beirut on Aug. 4 killed roughly 200 people\, injured thousands\, and left at least 300\,000 homeless. The blast\, from a huge and unstable stockpile of ammonium nitrate stored at the Lebanese port\, was a devastating blow for a country already teetering from a financial collapse and social unrest. \nLebanon’s viability is critical to the Middle East\, a region fraught with geopolitical tensions. It is a region that can also provide a sign of hope. Lebanon is the most religiously diverse country in the Middle East\, with a large Christian community\, and Shia and Sunni Muslims making up more than half of the population. \nIn this webinar\, we will speak live with the Maronite Catholic Patriarch in Lebanon. Cardinal Béchara Boutros Raï will talk about the situation in the country a month after the explosion\, what can be done to help now\, and what Lebanon needs to do to secure its future — and the future of the Middle East. \nNew York Cardinal Timothy Dolan\, chairman of the board of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association\, will open the conversation. Thomas L. Gallagher\, president of Religion Media Company\, will lead a Q&A\, including questions submitted by audience members\, with Cardinal Rai. David Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion. \nThis webinar is presented in partnership with the Catholic Near East Welfare Association and Salt + Light Media.

SUMMARY:A Lens onto the Jewish Past: How Do Prints of Eastern European Jewish Life Speak to Us Today?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Susan Chevlowe\, Ph.D.\, director and chief curator of Derfner Judaica and The Art Collection at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale. \nIn this illustrated talk\, Chevlowe revisits an exhibition she organized at the Derfner Judaica Museum in Riverdale\, New York\, that opened to the public just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closing of cultural institutions throughout the city. She explores how the current moment provides a lens that increases the viewer’s empathy and gives the works by the artists in the show new relevance and meaning today. Prints by 11 artists from the exhibition whose subjects and styles were shaped by their experiences of displacement\, genocide\, and massive social and political upheaval in the late 19th and 20th centuries will be discussed. \nChevlowe is a former curator at The Jewish Museum and taught in the Jewish Art and Visual Culture program at the Jewish Theological Seminary. She is the author of numerous essays and texts on American and Israeli artists\, including Leonard Freed\, Hana Iverson\, Ben Katchor\, Jill Nathanson\, Adi Nes\, and Archie Rand and Ben Shahn\, among many others. \nAll Fordham events in Jewish Studies are free.

SUMMARY:Law-Psychology Webinar: Hot-Car Deaths
DESCRIPTION:In July 2019\, a Bronx father found his infant twins dead in an overheated car and realized he was responsible. Should he be prosecuted? During this webinar\, David Diamond\, Ph.D.\, of the University of South Florida will discuss his life-altering research on “hot car” deaths and the importance of such research for legal decision-making in courts. Diamond will discuss how neuroscience research guides legal decision-making and how failures in human memory can lead to catastrophes\, such as the hot car deaths of so many children. \nDiamond earned his Ph.D. in biology at UC Irvine in 1985 and is now a professor of psychology and neuroscience at USF. He is known for his award-winning research on memory failures and decision-making under stress\, and serves as an expert witness in memory-related criminal trials.

SUMMARY:Women Scholars of Orthodox Christianity\, Featuring Bissera V. Pentcheva
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to present the seventh 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. The broadcast will be livestreamed and open to all who have preregistered. 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. \nThis episode features an interview with Bissera V. Pentcheva\, professor of art history at Stanford University. She has published three books with Pennsylvania State University Press: Icons and Power: The Mother of God in Byzantium (2006)\, which received the Nicholas Brown Prize of the Medieval Academy of America in 2010; The Sensual Icon: Space\, Ritual\, and the Senses in Byzantium (2010); and Hagia Sophia: Sound\, Space and Spirit in Byzantium (2017)\, which received the 2018 American Academy of Religion Award in historical studies. She has edited the volumes Aural Architecture (Ashgate\, 2017) and Icons of Sound: Architecture\, Music and Imagination in Medieval Art (Routledge\, 2020). Her work is informed by phenomenology\, placing the attention on the changing appearance of objects and architectural spaces. She relies on film to capture this temporal animation stirred by candlelight. Another important strand of her work engages the sonic envelope of the visual—music and acoustics—and employs auralizations that digitally imprint the performance of chant with the acoustic signature of the specific interior for which it was composed. \nOrthodox Christian Studies Center events are free and open to the public. The Zoom link will be sent out to all registered participants one to two days prior to the event.

SUMMARY:Pandemics and Epidemics: Financial and Economic Effects
DESCRIPTION:During the first seven weeks of 2020\, despite ominous news from China\, Italy and Iran about the spread of the COVID-19 virus\, US stock indexes hit all-time highs. Then\, in little more than a month\, the market crashed. By March 23\, the Dow Industrials dropped 37%; the S&P 500\, 34%; and the NASDAQ Composite\, 30%. It seemed the markets suddenly realized that the virus’s spread to the U.S. would cause widespread business shutdowns\, school closings\, and stay-at-home orders. A major recession\, if not a depression\, seemed imminent. \nThen\, in response to the crisis\, the government implemented a number of unprecedented monetary and fiscal measures. By mid-April\, as the numbers of infections and deaths from the virus mounted daily\, the markets staged a sharp recovery\, which continued into June. Justified or not—only time will tell—the markets’ collective wisdom seemed to think the virus would soon go away and the government’s drastic measures would bring a sharp economic recovery. \nIs this what typically happens during epidemics and pandemics? Because they don’t occur often anymore\, most people have not experienced them and don’t have a clue as to what is typical. But they have happened often enough in history\, which can offer some guidance. In this talk\, Richard Sylla\, Ph.D. will examine several epidemics and pandemics that have occurred over the course of U.S. history. \nAgenda \n12 p.m. Welcome Remarks and Speaker Introduction \nDonna Rapaccioli\, Dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:08 p.m. Discussion \nModerator: David Cowen\, President/CEO\, Museum of American Finance \nInterviewee: Richard Sylla\, Professor Emeritus of Economics and the former Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets\, NYU Stern School of Business \n12:45 p.m. \nQ&A from audience \n1:00 p.m. Closing Remarks \nDavid Cowen\, President and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \nAbout 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 has been chairman of the Museum of American Finance since 2010. \nAbout David Cowen\nDavid Cowen\, the president and CEO of the Museum of American Finance\, has over 20 years experience as a trader on Wall Street\, including in the foreign exchange groups at Bankers Trust and Deutsche Bank. The founder of Quasar Capital Partners\, a macro hedge fund\, Mr. Cowen holds a B.A. in American history from Columbia College\, an M.B.A. from the Wharton School of Business\, and an M.A. and Ph.D in American history from NYU. He has written extensively on U.S. financial history. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis\,\nthe CFA Society of New York\, and the Museum of American Finance.
