SUMMARY:William Magnuson on Blockchain Democracy: Technology\, Law and the Rule of the Crowd
DESCRIPTION:In Blockchain Democracy\, William Magnuson explores the world of blockchain and bitcoin\, from their origins in the online scribblings of a shadowy figure named Satoshi Nakamoto\, to their furious rise and dramatic crash in the 2010s\, to their ignominious connections to the dark web and online crime. Magnuson argues that blockchain’s popularity stands as a testament both to the depth of distrust of government today\, and also to the fervent and undying belief that technology and the world of cyberspace can provide an answer. He demonstrates how blockchain’s failings provide broader lessons about what happens when technology runs up against the stubborn realities of law\, markets\, and human nature. This book should be read by anyone interested in understanding how technology is changing our democracy\, and how democracy is changing our technology. \nAgenda \n12 p.m. Welcome Remarks \nDonna Rapaccioli\, Dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m. Speaker Introduction \nDavid Cowen\, President/CEO\, Museum of American Finance \n12:08 p.m. Discussion \nPresenter: William Magnuson\, Associate Professor of Law at Texas A&M University \n12:45 p.m. \nQ&A from audience \n1:00 p.m. Closing Remarks \nDavid Cowen\, President and CEO\, Museum of American Finance \nAbout the Author\nWilliam Magnuson is an associate professor at Texas A&M Law School\, where he teaches and writes about corporations\, technology and finance.

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.

SUMMARY:Responsible Business in a Time of Crisis

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: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: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.
