SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Choice in Dying: Current Legal\, Policy\, and Ethical Issues
DESCRIPTION:Many patients\, particularly at the end of life\, do not receive quality care. Palliative and hospice care often are not provided in a timely manner\, if at all. Additionally\, the health care wishes of patients often are not honored\, thus dying patients may receive interventions they never wanted. Patients who experience intolerable suffering may not know of options that could reduce their suffering and allow them to die with dignity\, in accordance with their values and wishes. In order to make “informed decisions” about end-of-life care\, patients must be given information about expected benefits and burdens of proposed interventions—as well as the consequences of changing the focus of care to comfort. Social workers can play an important role as catalysts for better-quality care for patients at the end of life to ensure that their health care wishes are respected. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of four continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Ethics and Corruption in Humanitarian Operations
DESCRIPTION:What can you say about common ethical challenges encountered by humanitarian personnel and how to overcome them? Is corruption really an issue for humanitarian personnel? Isn’t this more something for the financial sector? \nIntegrity is at the heart of everything we do\, and humanitarian work is no exception. Adherence to the values\, principles\, and ethical standards required of those engaged in humanitarian work is critical in developing and maintaining beneficiary confidence\, promoting a strong public image\, cultivating an effective workforce\, and nurturing accountability and transparency. At the opposite end of the spectrum\, corruption\, exploitation\, and other abuse of authority have the potential to channel resources away from those for whom they were intended\, and to harm beneficiaries\, co-workers\, and others in profound ways. \nLex Takkenberg will explore the topics of ethics and corruption in humanitarian operations during this webinar\, discussing how humanitarian personnel can serve with integrity and proactively prevent and adequately respond to unethical situations. \nAbout the Speaker\nA Dutch national\, Takkenberg has worked in various field and headquarters positions with United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) since 1989 and was until recently based in Amman\, where served as chief of the Ethics Office. Before joining UNRWA\, he was the legal officer of the Dutch Refugee Council for six years. A law graduate from the University of Amsterdam\, he obtained a doctorate in international law from the University of Nijmegen\, the Netherlands\, after successfully defending his doctoral dissertation\, titled “The Status of Palestinian Refugees in International Law.” Oxford University Press (OUP) published a commercial edition of the dissertation in 1998\, and an Arabic translation was published by the Institute for Palestine Studies in 2003. A new version of the book—co-authored with Francesca Albanese—was published by OUP in 2020.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Nicholas Sargen in Conversation with Consuelo Mack on JPMorgan's Fall and Revival
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual lunchtime program with international economist\, global money manager\, and author Nicholas Sargen in conversation with award-winning financial journalist Consuelo Mack. They will discuss Sargen’s latest book\, JPMorgan’s Fall and Revival: How the Wave of Consolidation Changed America’s Premier Bank. \nJPMorgan’s Fall and Revival tells the previously untold story of how J.P. Morgan & Co. became a universal bank in the 1980s-1990s and events leading to it merging with Chase Manhattan Corp. in 2000. It depicts the challenges leaders confronted when the firm’s business model was disrupted by the country’s developing debt crisis and premier corporate borrowers accessing capital markets. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. stood out in seeking to reenter the world of investment banking and securities entirely on its own\, and it was reluctant to make even targeted acquisitions that would have facilitated the build-out. \nThe book describes what happened to the institution in the larger story of U.S. banking consolidation\, and how it went from losing its independence to becoming a financial powerhouse. During this time\, all of the leading financial institutions struggled to change their business models. In the end\, no U.S. money center bank was able to become a universal bank on its own. What ensued was a growing concentration of financial assets in a handful of institutions\, which was the precursor to the 2008 financial crisis. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president/CEO of the Museum of American Finance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Consuelo Mack\, anchor and executive producer of Consuelo Mack WealthTrack\, and Nicholas Sargen \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1:00 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout Sargen\nSargen is an international economist turned global money manager. He has been involved in international financial markets since the early 1970s\, when he began his career at the Treasury Department with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. He subsequently worked on Wall Street for 25 years\, holding senior positions with Morgan Guaranty Trust\, Salomon Brothers Inc.\, and J.P. Morgan Private Bank. In 2003\, he became chief investment officer for the Western & Southern Financial Group and its affiliate\, Fort Washington Investment Advisors Inc. He subsequently served as chief economist from 2014-2019. He currently is an economic consultant to Fort Washington. He has authored two previous books: Global Shocks: An Investment Guide for Turbulent Markets and Investing in the Trump Era: How Economic Policies Impact Financial Markets. He received a B.A. in economics from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in economics from Stanford University. \nAbout Mack\nMack is the anchor and executive producer of Consuelo Mack WealthTrack. Now in its 16th season\, WealthTrack has been dubbed the “Cramer Antidote\,” and Money magazine has called Mack “The Best Money TV Host.” Mack has had a long career in business journalism\, including nearly two decades as the anchor and managing editor of The Wall Street Journal Report\, which won Overseas Press Club and Gracie Awards during her tenure. Among her many honors is the first Lifetime Achievement Prize for Women in Financial Electronic Journalism\, given by the Women’s Economic Round Table.

SUMMARY:Solidarity\, Catholicism\, and Our Post-Pandemic Future: Pope Francis’s New Call for a Radical Reordering of Society’s Priorities
DESCRIPTION:The Vatican is releasing Pope Francis’s latest encyclical on Oct. 4\, the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi\, and his encyclical is expected to call for a radical commitment to genuine solidarity and economic and social justice. While grounded in Catholic social teaching\, the encyclical will be addressed to “the whole of humanity”—and it will land just weeks before a historic U.S. presidential election that features Catholic candidate Joe Biden squaring off against President Donald Trump. The issues raised by the encyclical are at the heart of the campaign\, and they are central to the intense debate over America’s core values and identity. The contrast could not be starker. The stakes could not be higher. \nIn this hour-long webinar\, three experts on Catholic social teaching and the Vatican will analyze the new encyclical—the most authoritative document a pope can issue—in the context of the Church’s new course under the pope\, the polarized dynamics of American politics\, and American Catholicism. \nPanelists\nMT Dávila is an associate professor of practice at Merrimack College in North Andover\, Massachusetts\, and a leading expert in Christian ethics. Her work focuses on immigration\, racism and racial justice\, and class and inequality. She is a past president of the Academy of Catholic Hispanic Theologians of the United States. \nChristopher Lamb is the Rome correspondent for The Tablet and author of The Outsider: Pope Francis and His Battle to Reform the Church (2020). His book explores the ministry of the pope and investigates the opposition that has mobilized against him\, and what it portends for the Catholic Church. \nThe Rev. Bryan Massingale is a professor of theology and social ethics at Fordham. He is a past convener of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium and a former president of the Catholic Theological Society of America. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, and take questions from the online audience. \nThis webinar is presented in collaboration with Fordham’s Curran Center for American Catholic Studies.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Lawrence Cunningham in Conversation with Astrid Doerner on Margin of Trust: The Berkshire Business Model
DESCRIPTION:Warren Buffett and his company Berkshire Hathaway Inc. are legendary for their distinctive investing approach. Yet\, many equally unconventional but less-well-known aspects of the company’s managerial practices and organizational structure are rich with lessons for those seeking to follow in Buffett’s footsteps. Margin of Trust distills Buffett’s approach to management and corporate life and provides a definitive analysis of the tenets of the Berkshire Hathaway system\, its costs and benefits\, and how they can be adapted for other organizations. \nIn Margin of Trust\, authors Lawrence A. Cunningham and Stephanie Cuba develop a new account of how Berkshire Hathaway works\, showing that the key to its success is trust. Profiling partnership practices and business methods\, they contend that the company’s distinguishing feature is a culture in which autonomy and decentralization are core management principles. Cunningham and Cuba provide instructive examples of how this model has been successfully adapted by other companies that share faith in trust as an organizing principle. The authors also offer candid commentary on the risks of a trust-based approach and how to mitigate them. Margin of Trust features illuminating analysis of Buffett’s take on the role trust plays in business agreements\, what he looks for in great corporate boards\, and what lies ahead for the company after its iconic leader leaves the scene. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president/CEO of the Museum of American Finance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Astrid Doerner and Lawrence Cunningham \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1:00 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speakers\nCunningham is an author\, lecturer\, professor\, public company director\, and consultant on corporate governance. He is the Henry St. George Tucker III Research Professor at George Washington University and founding director of George Washington University in New York. He is the author of more than a dozen books\, including The Warren Buffett Shareholder: Stories from Inside the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting; The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America\, in collaboration with Buffett; The AIG Story\, with Hank Greenberg; and Berkshire Beyond Buffett: The Enduring Value of Values. \nDoerner is a U.S. correspondent in New York for Handelsblatt\, Germany’s leading business daily. She has covered Berkshire Hathaway for many years\, including interviews with Buffett\, Charlie Munger\, and Ted Weschler\, and she is a regular attendee of the company’s shareholder meetings in Omaha\, Nebraska. Doerner also covers banks\, financial markets\, and the economy. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the Museum of American Finance and CFA Society New York.

SUMMARY:Immigration and Identity\, Borders and Bridges: Francisco Cantú Discusses His Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Francisco Cantú\, a Mexican-American raised in the scrublands of the Southwest\, joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 2008. He spent the next four years hauling in the bodies of dead immigrants and delivering to detention centers those he found alive. Cantú left the Border Patrol in 2012 and began a journey of his own\, culminating in his highly acclaimed 2018 memoir\, The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border. \nDisputes over immigration have only intensified as the presidential election approaches\, and issues of racism and national identity are playing out around the country. More than ever\, the personal is political\, and Cantú’s memoir is a powerful testimony to understanding this national moment. During this event\, Cantú will discuss his own story\, the process of writing a memoir\, and his take on the ongoing immigration debate. \nGlenn Hendler\, a professor of English and American studies at Fordham\, will moderate the conversation\, and Cantú will take questions from the students in a class Hendler is co-teaching with Fordham’s Writer at Risk in Residence\, Félix Kaputu\, titled “Creating Dangerously: Writing from Conflict Zones.” Other Fordham students and our online audience will also be able to pose questions using the chat feature. David Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will open and close the event\, as well as help field audience questions.

SUMMARY:What Is a Migration Crisis?
DESCRIPTION:Join the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs for a webinar with Brian Kelly\, head of the Community Stabilization Unit for the International Organization for Migration (IOM). \nA migrant person is someone who moves away from their place of usual residence\, whether within a country or across an international border\, temporarily or permanently\, for a variety of reasons. A country or a region facing a crisis produces increasingly complex and often large-scale migration flows and mobility patterns. These typically expose affected populations to significant vulnerabilities and generate serious and longer-term migration management challenges. The challenges can exist at home\, while in transit\, upon arrival at a destination\, during a return process\, or throughout. \nDuring this webinar\, Kelly will highlight the unique characteristics associated with people on the move\, emphasizing protection concerns. The migration corridors linking West Africa to North Africa and Europe will be explored\, the stories of some migrants who have undertaken this journey will be shared\, and the humanitarian and policy implications will be discussed. \nAbout the Speaker\nPrior to his position at the Community Stabilization Unit\, based in Washington D.C.\, Kelly was the regional emergency and post crisis advisor at the IOM Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. He has been with IOM since 2000 and has worked in the Balkans\, Afghanistan\, Indonesia\, Nepal\, Iraq\, Pakistan\, and elsewhere. Specializing in humanitarian operations\, community stabilization\, peace-building\, reintegration\, and the coordination of relief-and-recovery programming\, he helps governments\, the United Nations\, non-governmental organizations\, and the private sector support vulnerable populations and stabilize communities.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Health Literacy: Assessing and Addressing with Clients
DESCRIPTION:Low health literacy is associated with the risk of poor health outcomes. People most at risk experience multiple health disparities\, including access to care\, effective communication with healthcare providers\, and decreased treatment adherence. Health literacy in palliative and end-of-life care is particularly critical and challenging. Participants will become familiar with the impact of health literacy on health outcomes and learn evidence-based strategies to improve communication and understanding of illness and treatment options through evidence-based and shared decision-making techniques. The goals of this class are to inform social workers about the standards\, evidence-based practices\, and ethical issues related to the health literacy needs of the patients/clients and families we serve and for critical care and end-of-life decision-making. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Unrestricted Cash and Voucher Assistance As a Radical Act
DESCRIPTION:Cash and voucher assistance has grown from carefully designed pilot projects to an alternative to food aid. However\, some see this as radical as it challenges the status quo of the humanitarian architecture.nAccording to the “State of the World’s Cash 2020” report\, published by the Cash and Learning Partnership\, cash and voucher assistance (CVA) has doubled globally since 2016\, increasing from US$2.8 billion to US$5.6 billion. \nWhat are the implications of CVA at this scale on the humanitarian architecture? What does it demand from the humanitarian community? What mechanisms are in place to ensure that it reaches those who need it most? \nJoin the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs for an event on CVA with speaker Floor Grootenhuis\, a senior associate with Integrated Risk Management Associates. \nAbout the Speaker\nGrootenhuis has 22 years of experience working with United Nations organizations in Africa\, Asia\, and the Middle East\, including the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Food Programme\, along with such nongovernmental organizations as Action Against Hunger\, Save the Children\, Oxfam\, Cash Learning Partnership\, and the International Federation of the Red Cross. She has been one of the pioneers of CVA and will discuss the practice of unrestricted CVA as a radical act during this webinar.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Joseph Calandro Jr. on Creating Strategic Value: Applying Value Investing Principles to Corporate Management
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the latest event in the Centennial Speaker Series\, featuring Joseph Calandro Jr.\, author of Creating Strategic Value: Applying Value Investing Principles to Corporate Management. \nThe principles of value investing have resonated with savvy practitioners in the world of finance for a long time. In Creating Strategic Value\, Calandro Jr. explores how the core ideas and methods of value investing can be profitably applied to corporate strategy and management. He builds from an analysis of traditional value investing concepts to their strategic applications. Calandro Jr. 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. \nIn his book\, Calandro Jr. explains the theoretical aspects of value investing-consistent approaches to corporate strategy and management\, and details how they can be successfully employed through practical case studies that demonstrate value realization in action. He analyzes the applicability of key ideas\, such as the margin-of-safety principle to corporate strategy in a wide range of areas beyond stocks and bonds\, highlighting the importance of an “information advantage”—knowing something that a firm’s competitors either do not know or choose to ignore—and explaining how corporate managers can apply this key value-investing differentiator. Offering expert insight into the use of time-tested 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. \nDigital copies of Creating Strategic Value: Applying Value Investing Principles to Corporate Management will be raffled off to attendees. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: James Kelly\, Director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Joseph Calandro Jr. \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli \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. \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:16th-Annual Rita Cassella Jones Lecture on Women and U.S. Catholicism
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “In the Shadow of the Cross: Black Women and the Making of U.S. Catholicism\,” the 16th-Annual Rita Cassella Jones Lecture on Women and U.S. Catholicism\, presented by Villanova University’s Shannen Dee Williams\, Ph.D. \nContrary to popular belief\, Black women and girls have never been inconsequential figures in the history of the U.S. Catholic Church. In this talk\, Williams will trace the lives\, labors\, and struggles of African American Catholic women and girls from their earliest appearance in the historical record in 16th-century Spanish Florida to the present day. Drawing upon a host of previously ignored sources\, including archival records and oral history\, Williams will demonstrate why any narrative of the U.S. Catholic experience that marginalizes or ignores Black women and girls is woefully incomplete—and perhaps even intentionally insincere.

SUMMARY:"Go Forth and Learn:" A Discussion on Artist Joel ben Simeon and His Newly Discovered Hebrew Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:The discovery of a new manuscript with more than 300 drawings by Joel ben Simeon\, a 15th-century Jewish scribe and illuminator\, prompts a reassessment of his career at a time of great religious uncertainty\, economic opportunity\, and cultural exchange. Born in Germany\, where he trained as an artist and scribe and from where he was probably expelled\, ben Simeon spent most of his itinerant career in the book arts in Northern Italy. We perhaps know more about him—from his colophons and signed works—than any other illuminator-scribe\, Jewish or Christian\, in the 15th century. In one manuscript\, he depicts himself as a traveler next to the words\, “Go forth and learn\,” which we hope to accomplish in this webinar. \nSpeakers\nKeynote: Professor Katrin Kogman-Appel\, University of Muenster\, Institut fur Judische Studien\, previously taught at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (1996-2015). Kogman-Appel has been published extensively on medieval Jewish art and book culture and is particularly interested in Hebrew manuscript illumination and its cultural and social contexts. \nProfessor Lucia Raspe\, Goethe Universitaet\, Frankfurt am Main. Raspe has been published widely on late medieval and early modern Jewish communities\, including the migration of German Jews to Italy and on manuscript and print culture. \nThis event is a joint program between Fordham Jewish Studies and Les Enluminures. It was organized by Sandra Hindman\, professor emerita of art history at Northwestern University and president and founder of Les Enluminures\, and Sharon Liberman Mintz\, curator of Jewish art at the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary and senior consultant on Judaica at Sotheby’s.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Pediatric Palliative Care for Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:Social workers in health care and other settings may be faced with working with a child with a serious and sometimes life-limiting illness. Working with children who have a life-limiting illness and their families to minimize symptom burden and maximize quality of life can be very complex and challenging. This class is designed to educate social workers about the psychosocial needs of children with a serious illness\, how serious illness in childhood differs from that in adulthood\, and the effects of the illness on the entire family system. Interventions to assist families in coping and realizing the importance of hope will also be addressed\, as well as how to provide culturally competent care at end of life for child and family. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of four continuing education hours.
