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.

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: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: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:From Camps to Streets: Adapting Humanitarian Operations for Urban Areas
DESCRIPTION:Are urban humanitarian operations the same as humanitarian operations in both camp and rural settings? How do the needs of people displaced from urban areas differ from those displaced from rural areas? What new coordination structures are required to foster collaboration between formal\, informal\, and spontaneous actors providing humanitarian assistance? \nThe United Nations estimates that by 2050\, approximately 68% of the world’s population will live in urban areas. Therefore\, to have the ability “to prevent or alleviate human suffering arising out of disaster or conflict\,” humanitarian structures and processes primarily designed for rural and camp settings will need to be adapted for use in urban areas. During this webinar\, Instructor Rick Fernandez will discuss how humanitarians can do just that. \nFernandez has served as a program development officer and an international protection officer with Nonviolent Peaceforce in South Sudan\, a program manager with IBM’s Corporate Service Corps Program\, and a planner for the NYC Emergency Management Department.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: R. Edward Freeman on The Power of And: Responsible Business Without Trade-Offs
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime webinar program with author R. Edward Freeman on his latest book\, The Power of And: Responsible Business Without Trade-Offs. \nThe idea that businesses are only concerned with their bottom line no longer holds true in the 21st century\, especially when companies around the world are giving up traditional distinctions in order to succeed. Yet\, our expectations for businesses remain under the sway of an outdated worldview that emphasizes profits for shareholders above all else. \nThe Power of And offers a new narrative about the nature of business\, revealing the focus on responsibility and ethics that unites today’s most influential ideas and companies. In the book\, R. Edward Freeman\, Kirsten E. Martin\, and Bidhan L. Parmar detail an emerging business model built on five key concepts: prioritizing purpose as well as profits; creating value for stakeholders as well as shareholders; seeing business as embedded in society as well as markets; recognizing people’s full humanity as well as their economic interests; and integrating business and ethics into a more holistic model. Drawing on examples across companies\, industries\, and countries\, they show that these values support persevering in hard times and prospering over the long term. Real-world success stories disprove the conventional wisdom that there are unavoidable trade-offs between acting ethically and succeeding financially. The Power of And presents a conceptual revolution about what it means for a business to be responsible\, providing a new story for us to tell in order to help all kinds of companies thrive. \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: Ed Freeman \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1:00 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nFreeman is the University Professor and Elis and Signe Olsson Professor of Business Administration at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. He is the author of the widely influential book Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach (2010\, originally published in 1984)\, and has worked with executives and companies around the world. \nThis event is co-sponsored with the Museum of American Finance and CFA Society New York.

SUMMARY:Feminine Power in the History of American Jewish Museums
DESCRIPTION:Established in 1947\, the Jewish Museum on 5th Avenue in the former home of Felix Warburg and Frieda Schiff Warburg is America’s most widely known symbol of Jewish art history. But what most don’t think about is that it is also a symbol of what the University of Virginia’s Ariel Cohen calls Jewish “feminine power.” What makes Jewish art history in America “feminine?” What is “feminine power?” \nIn her research on American Jewish museums\, Cohen expected to find archives full of stories of the men who founded Jewish museums — Cyrus Adler\, first curator of Judaica at the Smithsonian in DC; Alexander Marx\, chief librarian of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and visionary of its Museum of Ceremonial Objects; and others. What she found instead were the stories of four American Jewish women who made Jewish public culture a “thing.” From a Russian immigrant secretary and a rebbetzin to a public philanthropist and an artist and curator’s wife\, these women are connected by a shared drive: to offer Jews connections to their roots and ancestry\, and to self- describe Jews in galleries for a wide audience. The spaces they built would offer Jews deeper connections to their roots and strengthen their Jewish identities. \nThis talk will discuss the women who changed the landscape of American Jewish culture indelibly. It will present a body of evidence pointing to “feminine power” in American Jewish history as found in American Jewish art museums. \nCo-presented with the New York Public Library and the Jewish Museum\, the discussion also will feature Susan Chevlowe\, Ph.D.\, director and chief curator of Derfner Judaica and The Art Collection at the Hebrew Home at Riverdale. She is a former curator at the Jewish Museum.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: A Palliative Approach to Dementia Care
DESCRIPTION:Dementia\, as an umbrella term for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases\, presents unique opportunities for health social workers. Challenges with advance care planning\, personhood\, caregiver dynamics\, persistent myths\, and symptom management will be understood through the lens of best practice in palliative care and across the trajectory of illness. This lens is useful for any health social worker. \nIn this workshop\, a primary palliative approach to assessing and intervening in the care of people with dementia and their caregivers will be provided\, including an exploration of the relationship between ambiguous loss and the needs of dementia caregivers in bereavement. The impacts of intersectional identities on the caregiving triad will also be integrated. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of four continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Joel Greenblatt on Common Sense: The Investor's Guide to Equality\, Opportunity\, and Growth

SUMMARY:The Future of Business Education
DESCRIPTION:The business world experiences constant technological and generational changes\, and business schools need to adapt just as quickly to prepare students for a constantly changing economic world. As we all face COVID-19\, it is clear that both the business world and business schools will emerge from this pandemic with a new normal. But what will that new normal look like? How do we prepare students for jobs that we don’t yet know will exist? The answer is preparing for what we do know while educating students to be agile\, sustainable thinkers and doers who are able to quickly adapt to changing environments and needs. \nThe Gabelli School of Business is celebrating its centennial in 2020. In recognition of this monumental occasion\, it is virtually hosting a Centennial Celebration Conference on the Future of Business Education from Fordham University’s London Centre\, a focal point for strengthening and growing academic and professional relationships in the United Kingdom and Europe\, enhancing student experiences\, growing collaborative research\, and promoting a sustainable workforce. \nThe conference will explore how the future of business education can prepare students for the post-pandemic workforce by examining the issues hiring managers face when searching for talent\, analyzing what skills are desirable for graduates to have\, and discussing innovative teaching opportunities that can prepare students for success. We will also explore the importance of creating engaging partnerships with organizations that educate future leaders.

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.

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.
