SUMMARY:Generative AI and the Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI is taking the world by storm\, yet it remains unclear if we are ready for the paradigm shifts it will bring for the workplace and for those who currently rely on a human workforce. \nWhat will knowledge work look like in the age of generative AI? Will the creative talents required to write advertising copy\, the technical abilities used to develop a computer program\, or the organizational skills needed to summarize a collection of articles be delegated to these tools? Will screenwriters be assisted or replaced by ChatGPT\, and will the actors whom they write for be replaced by deep fakes? Will legal research and briefs be generated by ChatGPT? And what types of roles will generative AI tools play in audit functions? \nHow will knowledge workers use these tools to assist them? Will they be able to recognize the shortcomings of the decisions proposed by the AI systems? What are the ethical challenges that the generative AI environment poses\, and how will we mitigate the risks of algorithmic biases? \nDuring this panel\, experts from across industry and academia will provide their perspectives on the future of work in generative AI\, and the changes those of us in the academic world will have to make in our curricula and teaching methods to prepare students for this new environment. \nModerator \n\nJorge Martinez Navarrete\, lead\, Innovation Unit\, Office of Information and Communications Technology\, United Nations\n\nPanelists \n\nFredric Cibelli\, principal\, Technology Consulting\, Ernst & Young\nVasant Dhar\, Ph.D.\, professor of technology\, Operations and Statistics\, Leonard N. Stern School of Business\, New York University\nRajesh Rajappan\, senior vice president\, Digital Solutions BU\, Hitachi Vantara

SUMMARY:2023 Rita Cassella Jones Lecture: The Evil of Violence Against Women and The Hope Manifest in Pope Francis’ Enduring Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The 19th Annual Rita Cassella Jones Lecture on Women and U.S. Catholicism will be presented by Nancy Pineda-Madrid\, Ph.D. (Loyola Marymount University).ome \nPineda-Madrid’s lecture will explore how disciples of Jesus Christ must denounce and subvert this evil\, finding in Pope Francis’ writings a source to encourage Christian hope through the subversion of evil. Ultimately\, she claims that the subversion of this evil will enable us to see more clearly the goodness of God in the land of the living—that is\, salvation.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps on My Journeys in Economic Theory
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person event with one of the most important economists of his generation. Edmund Phelps developed a new understanding of unemployment and inflation and went on to rethink the roots of innovation. His work represents a lifelong project to put “people as we know them” into economic theory. \nIn his latest book\, Phelps tells the story of his role in reshaping economic theory\, offering a powerful personal account of a creative and rewarding career. My Journeys in Economic Theory charts two major phases of Phelps’s work\, illuminating the breadth of his contributions to the field. First\, introducing the expectations of wage setters and cofounding the “equilibrium” rate of unemployment\, he built the microeconomic foundations for the employment theory pioneered by Keynes and Hicks. More recently\, he conceived a theory of “mass flourishing” superseding Schumpeter and Solow’s conception of the process of innovating—a theory in which individuals’ creativity and society’s dynamism fuel grassroots innovation and generate job satisfaction in the process. \nPhelps recounts his vivid experiences in the world of economics—fierce arguments\, competition and collaboration\, and the good fortune of time spent among some great figures—as well as his relationships with luminaries such as John Rawls\, Thomas Nagel\, Paul Samuelson\, and Paul Volcker. At its core\, this book shares the joy of intellectual achievement: the excitement of coming up with a new idea that radically departs from prevailing views and the satisfaction of exercising one’s own ingenuity instead of applying or developing others’ models. Telling the story of a life packed with intellectual adventure\, My Journeys in Economic Theory provides a profound vision of a dynamic\, modern economy that offers lives rich with creativity and meaning. \nAbout the Speaker\nEdmund Phelps\, the winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2006\, is the founding director of the Center on Capitalism and Society and McVickar professor emeritus of Political Economy at Columbia University. \nAdvance registration is required\, and space is limited.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Aubin\, Ph.D.\, associate professor of physics at Fordham University\, will present\, “Established 1936: The particle that began and could end the Standard Model.” \nDuring the 20th century\, there was an explosion of new particles discovered\, so many that it took decades for physicists to formulate what is now known as the Standard Model of Particle Physics (the most successful physical theory in current history). This explosion began with the tiny spark that is the muon — a heavy cousin of the electron — because it was the first completely unexpected particle that led I.I. Rabi to quip\, “Who ordered that?” Since then\, the muon has played a vital role in high energy physics to understand how the Standard Model works and more recently\, to search for physics beyond the Standard Model: new physics yet to be understood. I will give a brief history of the muon while then focusing on current studies of this subatomic particle to find out if we can break this fundamental theory of particle physics.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: All Oppression Shall Cease
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Christopher Kellerman\, S.J.\, about his thought-provoking work. In All Oppression Shall Cease\, he provides a rigorously researched\, era-by-era history of the Catholic Church’s teachings and actions related to slavery. By telling stories of enslaved Catholics and Catholic slaveholders\, analyzing arguments of theologians who either defended or condemned slaveholding\, and examining documents of popes and councils\, Kellerman’s book reveals disturbing answers to contemporary questions about the Church’s role in the history of slavery and especially in the Atlantic slave trade. \nFather Kellerman concludes with theological reflections on history\, reconciliation\, and restitution. \nTania Tetlow\, president of Fordham University\, will deliver the welcome address and introductory remarks.

SUMMARY:Author Rachel Swarns onThe 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Swarns will discuss her new book\, The 272\, which follows one family through nearly two centuries of indentured servitude and enslavement to illuminate the harrowing origin story of Georgetown University and the Catholic Church in the United States. Through the saga of the Mahoney family\, Swarns illustrates how the Church relied on slave labor and slave sales in Maryland to sustain its operations and to help finance its expansion. Torn apart by a Jesuit slave sale in 1838 and reunited by Swarns’ reporting in 2016\, the Mahoney descendants have joined other GU272 descendants who have pressed Georgetown and the Catholic Church to make amends\, prodding the institutions to break new ground in the movement for reparations and reconciliation in America.

SUMMARY:Seeking Harmony and Compassion: Pastoral Care and LGBTQ+ Orthodox Faithful
DESCRIPTION:Orthodox Christians are called\, first and foremost\, to love all—for “God is love.” But the reality for many lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, and queer Orthodox Christians today is that their relationship to the Church is defined not by love\, but by apathy\, exclusion\, and condemnation. We must\, as a faith\, choose love and compassion—to “love thy neighbor”— instead. This requires no change of faith\, but a fuller\, more compassionate understanding of what our faith in loving God truly requires of us. \nThe Church is at a crossroads. We offer this symposium in love and faith\, praying that the road we choose is the right one—the one that leads to God. \nWe invite you to a conversation about ministering to LGBTQ+ Christians. The afternoon includes a panel review of the recently published books Orthodox Tradition and Human Sexuality and Gender Essentialism and Orthodoxy: Beyond Male and Female\, and a discussion of the opportunities\, challenges\, and resources for ministry among LGBTQ+ faithful.

SUMMARY:2023 Anastasi Lecture: 'Trying to Make Ourselves Useful'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture with Baruch Fischhoff\, Ph.D.\, (Carnegie Mellon University) followed by a reception. \nPart of society’s return on the investment in our science is the help that we provide in making public policy decisions. The return depends\, in part\, on the state of our science and our ability to translate it into useful terms. It also depends on policymakers’ interest in what we have to say. After framing the general issues\, the talk will include the presenter’s experiences in two domains: climate change (beginning in the Carter administration) and pandemic disease (beginning with H5N1\, in the mid-2000s). The talk will conclude with reflections on what these engagements have done for society and for our science. \nAbout the Speaker\nBaruch Fischhoff is the Howard Heinz University Professor in the Department of Engineering and Public Policy and the Carnegie Mellon Institute for Security and Technology. He is a graduate of Wayne State University\, where he earned a B.S. in mathematics and psychology\, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, where he earned a Ph.D. in\, psychology. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine.

SUMMARY:Black Studies and Jewish Studies in Conversation: Shared Past/Divided Present—Museums and Public History
DESCRIPTION:Join Christy S. Coleman\, Erica Lehrer\, and Annie Polland (in person and on Zoom) for this panel discussion. \nThe past does not change; the way it is told does. While scholars typically write books\, public historians and museums translate this scholarship for the broader public. Museums\, then\, play an important role not only in shaping public conversations and understanding of history but also in fashioning cultural change. With history contested\, both in the United States and in other countries\, this panel of distinguished public historians\, visionaries\, and leaders of public history will discuss what museums and public history mean in the current moment\, addressing questions about shared past but divided present both in the United States and in Europe. Museums and public history can not just challenge the predominant perspective but also introduce new voices and bridge conflicting and clashing versions of history. \nAbout the Speakers\nChristy S. Coleman has served as the CEO of some of the nation’s most prominent museums. An innovator and thought leader with more than 30 years of museum and public history experience\, Coleman held leadership roles at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History\, and the American Civil War Museum. She now serves as the executive director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. She’s a tireless advocate for the power of museums\, narrative correction\, diversity\, and inclusiveness. Coleman is the recipient of numerous awards for her decades of impact\, including three honorary doctorates (the College of William and Mary\, Virginia Commonwealth University\, and the University of the South). In 2018\, Time Magazine named her one of the 31 People Changing the South\, and in 2019\, Worth Magazine named her one of 29 Women Changing the World. She’s been a featured guest on many news and television outlets\, including History Channel’s Grant and Lincoln: Divided We Stand miniseries\, Black Patriots: Civil War Heroes\, Neutral Ground\, and When the Monuments Came Down. \nErica Lehrer is a sociocultural anthropologist and curator. She is presently a professor in the departments of history and sociology and anthropology at Concordia University in Montreal and founding director of the university’s Curating and Public Scholarship Lab. From 2007 to 2017\, she held the Canada Research Chair in Museum and Heritage Studies\, and she currently directs the international team project Thinking Through the Museum: A Partnership Approach to Curating Difficult Knowledge in Public (2021–2028)\, funded by the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. \nAnnie Polland is the president of the Tenement Museum in New York City. Polland is a historian and a leader of public history in New York. In her published work\, she has focused on the history of New York\, in particular its Jewish population. Before becoming the president of the Tenement Museum\, Polland was the executive director of the American Jewish Historical Society and\, prior to that\, the executive vice president for programs and education of the Tenement Museum. She has been engaged in public history for decades\, deploying storytelling to amplify the experiences of immigrants and migrants.

SUMMARY:Dracula: Medieval Hero and Modern Vampire
DESCRIPTION:Dracula—the vampire count—has been a popular cultural mainstay portrayed in films\, television shows\, novels\, and comic books for more than a century. The modern fascination with Dracula began in the 1920s and 1930s with the success of plays and movies based on Bram Stoker’s eponymous novel\, first published in 1897. \nThe events described in Stoker’s Dracula take place in fin-de-siècle London and Transylvania\, and the novel makes only loose historical references to its 15th-century namesake: Vlad III “the Impaler” (1431–c. 1476)\, prince of Wallachia\, now a region of Romania. The massive popularity of the fictional Dracula has generated considerable curiosity about the real-life prince himself\, his brutal reign\, and his times. \nIn this lecture\, Dr. Alice Isabella Sullivan will examine the transformations of the historical figure into a modern vampire and the tireless allure of Dracula for creators and audiences. \nPanelists \nAlice Isabella Sullivan is an assistant professor of medieval art and architecture and the director of graduate studies at Tufts University\, specializing in Eastern European and Byzantine-Slavic art history. She is the author of the recently published The Eclectic Visual Culture of Medieval Moldavia. \nDavid J. Goodwin\, the assistant director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture and the author of the forthcoming Midnight Rambles: H. P. Lovecraft in Gotham\, will moderate a conversation with the audience.

SUMMARY:The 15th Annual Julio Burunat Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Massaro\, S.J.\, Ph.D.\, professor of moral theology with a specialization in Catholic social ethics and public theology\, will deliver the 15th annual Julio Burunat Memorial Lecture\, titled “Pope Francis As Moral Leader: Ethicist\, Discerner\, Communicator\, and Advocate for Social Justice.” \nRecent decades have witnessed a particular type of moral leadership exercised by such global religious figures as the Dalai Lama and recent popes of the Roman Catholic Church. While each has placed a distinctive “spin” on the enactment of leadership qualities in the pursuit of ethical goals\, Pope Francis has redefined the role of moral leader in remarkable ways. He has articulated and advanced a moral agenda that includes bold reform of church structures\, creative initiatives for greater inclusion of the marginalized\, and engagement with such pressing global challenges as climate change\, escalating economic inequality\, and the refugee crisis. In both the style and substance of his leadership\, he has energized millions of the faithful while also garnering considerable opposition. \nThis presentation will describe and analyze how Pope Francis has functioned as an ethicist (in deeds beyond mere words)\, as the church’s discerner-in-chief (solidly in the Jesuit tradition)\, skilled communicator\, and tireless advocate for social justice and peace. The many ethical achievements of his papacy have reshaped the role played by the Catholic Church across the globe. \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:2023 Economos Orthodoxy in America Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Nadieszda Kizenko will deliver the 2023 Economos Orthodoxy in America Lecture\, ‘‘A Vanishing Point: Unity in Orthodoxy and the Ukraine Crisis.” \nUntil recently\, it was possible to describe Orthodoxy as “unity in plurality.” Although Orthodoxy consisted of more than a dozen local churches with a wide variety of local practices\, and without an overarching structure\, body\, or person\, it was still possible to say that Orthodoxy was a relatively well-functioning church—indeed\, one church. \nIn the last decades\, and especially the last decade\, however\, profound fissures have undermined that unity. The Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church in Crete\, the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s granting of autocephaly to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine\, and Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine: All have exposed deeper fault lines in world Orthodoxy. These include issues of church and state (symphonia)\, church and nation\, how to achieve consensus\, authority in the church\, how one approaches history\, and the attitude to human rights and to modernity in general. How can Orthodoxy face these challenges? \nKizenko\, a historian of Orthodox Christianity in Russia and Ukraine\, will examine this question from a historical perspective and consider how Orthodox Christianity can move forward.

SUMMARY:2023 Loyola Chair Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the St. Ignatius Loyola Chair Lecture featuring Brian Dunkle\, S.J.\, associate professor of historical theology at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. \nAs Christian poets gained status and influence in the Roman Empire\, they wrote out of aemulatio\, that is\, the desire to rival and surpass the great pagan poets of antiquity\, such as Homer and Vergil. Yet when they engaged new Christian classics\, especially the Bible and the church’s creeds\, any attempt at aemulatio would be equivalent to heresy. Thus\, two modes of imitation inform early Christian poetry: one that rivals literary authorities and another that revels in theological authorities. This lecture will explore the interaction of these two modes not only in selected works of ambitious Christian verse but also in the celebratory hymns of the church’s worship. \nAbout the Speaker\nA graduate of Harvard\, Oxford\, and the Gregorian University of Rome\, he received his Ph.D. in the history of Christianity from the University of Notre Dame. He won the Best First Book Prize from the North American Patristics Society for his monograph Enchantment and Creed in the Hymns of Ambrose of Milan (Oxford\, 2016)\, and he has published translations of the Greek poetry of Gregory of Nazianzus (St. Vladimir’s\, 2013) and the Latin sermons of Ambrose of Milan (Catholic University\, 2020). \nPlease direct all questions to fas@fordhm.edu.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: George Athanassakos on Value vs. Growth Investing and the Future of Stock Prices
DESCRIPTION:George Athanassakos\, Ph.D.\, founder and managing director of The Ben Graham Centre for Value Investing and the Ben Graham Chair in Value Investing at the Ivey Business School\, will argue that the hefty average nominal and real stock returns experienced over the last 30 years are not going to be repeated in the next 30 years. Profit margins will be eroded going forward. Inflation will also be higher than what prevailed in the past 30 years and so are nominal interest rates—due to both higher inflation and higher real interest rates. \nAdvance registration is required. Registered guests will receive the link prior to the program.

SUMMARY:Loving Strangers: How Would Such a Moral Code Reshape Our Lives?
DESCRIPTION:Social isolation and animosity are arguably the central challenges of our angry age. Can philosophy play a role in overcoming the affective\, social\, and political alienation that mark our communities today? \nMeghan Sullivan focuses her work on the ways philosophy contributes to the good life\, and she is currently writing a book on the role love plays in grounding moral\, political\, and religious reasoning. It is tentatively titled Samaritanism: Moral Responsibility and Our Inner Lives. In this year’s Daniel J.

SUMMARY:Screening: The Frontier Gandhi
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special screening of the documentary film The Frontier Gandhi\, directed by acclaimed filmmaker T.C. McLuhan.The Frontier Gandhi tells the inspiring story of Badshah Khan\, a remarkable Muslim peacemaker born in what is now Pakistan’s frontier region Kyber-Pakhtunkhwa. In partnership with Mahatma Gandhi\, Khan raised a nonviolent army of 100\,000 individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds\, including Muslims\, Hindus\, Christians\, Parsees\, Sikhs\, and Buddhists. Together\, they championed peace\, social justice\, religious tolerance\, and human dignity. As a key figure in the nonviolent resistance movement against British colonial rule\, Khan not only fought for independence but also worked toward the social improvement of the less fortunate. He opened schools and dedicated himself to uplifting the poor. \nWe are honored to have T.C. McLuhan\, the director of the film\, join us for a Q&A session after the screening. In light of the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan and the growing religious-nationalist rhetoric in the region\, this documentary holds new significance for those seeking to understand the legacies of colonialism and resistance in the present day. \nPlease direct inquiries to mtrombetta2@fordham.edu.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Queer Judaism: LGBT Activism and the Remaking of Jewish Orthodoxy in Israel
DESCRIPTION:Until fairly recently\, Orthodox people in Israel could not imagine embracing their LGBT sexual or gender identity and staying within the Orthodox fold. But within the span of about a decade and a half\, Orthodox LGBT people have forged social circles and communities and become much more visible. This has been a remarkable shift in a relatively short time span. Queer Judaism offers the compelling story of how Jewish LGBT persons in Israel created an effective social movement. \nJoin Orit Avishai as she discusses her book\, which traces the path of how LGBT Jews accomplished this radical change. She makes the case that it has taken multiple approaches to achieve recognition within the community\, ranging from political activism to more personal interactions with religious leaders and community members\, to simply creating spaces to go about their everyday lives. Orthodox LGBT Jews have drawn from their lived experiences as well as Jewish traditions\, symbols\, and mythologies to build this movement\, motivated to embrace their sexual identity not in spite of\, but rather because of\, their commitment to Jewish scripture\, tradition\, and way of life. Unique and timely\, Queer Judaism challenges popular conceptions of how LGBT people interact and identify with conservative communities of faith. \nAbout the Speakers\nOrit Avishai is a professor of sociology at Fordham University. She is an ethnographer interested in how ideology and culture\, very broadly defined\, shape social institutions\, identity categories\, political dialogue\, cultural practices\, and processes of knowledge production. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology from UC Berkeley\, and law degrees from Tel Aviv University and the Yale Law School. Avishai clerked in the Israeli Supreme Court and worked briefly as a lawyer. Her scholarship reflects this broad training. She has written about breastfeeding and the politics of motherhood in the United States\, gendered and sexual regimes in Israeli Jewish Orthodoxy\, women in conservative religions\, feminist knowledge production\, and the marriage education movement in the United States. Her new research focuses on religious polarization and conceptions of religious freedom in American Jewish Orthodox communities in the U.S. \nAnn Pellegrini is a professor of performance studies and social and cultural analysis at New York University and a psychoanalyst in private practice in New York City. Their books include Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis\, Staging Race (Routledge\, 1997); Love the Sin: Sexual Regulation and the Limits of Religious Tolerance\, co-authored with Janet R. Jakobsen (NYU Press\, 2003; Beacon Press\, 2004); and Queer Theory and the Jewish Question\, co-edited with Daniel Boyarin and Danial Itzkovitz (Columbia University Press\, 2003). Pellegrini’s most recent book\, co-authored with Avgi Saketopoulou\, is Gender Without Identity (The Unconscious in Translation Press\, 2023). Pellegrini is founding co-editor\, with José Muñoz\, of the “Sexual Cultures” Series\, at New York University Press\, now co-edited with Joshua Chambers-Letson and Tavia Nyong’o.
