SUMMARY:The Land of Israel or Syria Palestina: Reconceptualization of Territory in Rabbinic Literature
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will examine the halakhic definition of the Land of Israel and its surroundings\, particularly the halakhic status of the northern territory of Syria. By analyzing several rabbinic sources\, it will discuss a few theoretical models with which the rabbis attempted to define Syria and its relation to the Land of Israel\, including some conceptual and interpretative shifts within the Palestinian rabbinic corpus itself: from the Mishnah to the Tosefta and the Palestinian Talmud. These different models and the discourse around them provide a glimpse of how the rabbinic community in third- and fourth-century Roman Palestine reconceived their provincial space as it underwent significant political\, demographic\, and economic changes\, and a key prism through which this community’s identity struggle under Rome is reflected. \nAbout the Speaker\nHanan Mazeh is a Kreitman Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History at Ben-Gurion University. His research interrogates textual and thematic developments in rabbinic literature as a key to deepen our understanding of the rabbinic society in the first centuries CE within its cultural context. His particular interest is with the Palestinian Talmud and in questions of territory and relations between Jews and Gentiles in Roman Palestine.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Pain Management - An Overview of Social Work's Potential to Enhance Care
DESCRIPTION:Pain is a multidimensional construct affected by biological\, psychological\, social\, spiritual\, and cultural factors. Health social workers have an enormous opportunity to influence the historical and current barriers to managing pain\, including the racial and gender disparities that continue to impact care and access. Managing pain in collaboration with interprofessional colleagues requires an understanding of ethical challenges and the current political and public policy landscape surrounding pain management and opioid use. This landscape makes access more complex\, demanding expert assessment and treatment plans to maximize effectiveness\, with attention to structures to enhance safe prescribing. In addition to defining pain and associated suffering\, participants will gain an awareness of the ethical\, clinical\, and policy aspects that invite social work advocacy and intervention\, which are reinforced by the foundational principles of environmental context. \nThis class will be taught by Terry Altilio\, LCSW\, APHSW-C\, and Bridget Sumser\, LCSW\, AHPSW-C. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two continuing education hours. \nAbout the Instructors\nTerry Altilio is a palliative social work consultant with more than three decades of direct practice experience in palliative care\, most recently in the Division of Palliative Care at Mount Sinai Beth Israel. She was a recipient of a Mayday Pain and Society Fellowship Award in 2006 and a Social Work Leadership award from the Open Society Institute’s Project on Death in America\, which supported a post-graduate social work fellowship and a social work listserv\, both of which are continuing programs. In 2013\, Altilio was selected to receive the Project on Death in America Career Achievement Award from the Social Work Hospice and Palliative Network. She lectures nationally and internationally on such topics as pain management\, ethics\, palliative care\, and psychosocial issues in palliative care. She also lectures in post-master’s degree programs at NYU and Smith College\, and is a guest faculty member of an internet course through California State University San Marcos. She is co-editor\, with Shirley Otis-Green\, of the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Social Work and\, with Bridget Sumser and Meaghan Leimena\, Palliative Care – A Guide for Health Social Workers. \nBridget Sumser became a social worker to help people living with serious illness and facing the end of life. Over the course of the last 10 years\, she has worked across settings\, supporting and advocating for patients\, families\, and community members affected by illness and facing the end of life. She received her M.S.W. from NYU Silver School of Social Work and completed a post-graduate fellowship in palliative social work at Beth Israel Medical Center. She is a Sojourn Scholar with the CAMBIA Health Foundation. In addition to her clinical work\, she is a writer\, educator\, and co-edited Palliative Care: A Guide for Health Social Workers (Oxford University Press\, 2019). Her practice is rooted in a commitment to social justice and understanding illness\, and caregiving within the context of a unique life. Above all\, she looks to promote connection and well-being.

SUMMARY:Cancel Culture: Safety or Censorship? Freedom of Speech\, Higher Education\, and the Fate of America’s Public Square
DESCRIPTION:Cancel culture. De-platforming. Calling out. These are increasingly common terms for what may be a defining battle for our contentious society: the fight over who can say what and when. \nYet what do these terms really mean? Are there limits to free expression? Or are we on the slippery slope to some Orwellian dystopia? This is no abstract argument. The future of university education\, political discourse\, and civil society—not to mention individual careers and personal relationships—will be defined by what we can say\, how we say it\, and what effect our words\, or our silences\, have on each other. \nThis panel discussion will explore the state of the issue and what’s at stake. \nPanelists: \nLaura Specker Sullivan is an assistant professor of philosophy at Fordham and a bioethicist specializing in culture and neuroethics. \nJon Baskin is a founding editor at The Point magazine and the associate director of the creative publishing and critical journalism master’s program at The New School for Social Research. \nMary McNamara is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and culture critic at the Los Angeles Times. She wrote a column last year titled\, “‘Cancel culture’ is not the problem. The Harper’s letter is.” \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the online audience.

SUMMARY:Priesthood Using and Losing Power: Neil Connolly's Ministry in the Puerto Rican Migration
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will review how a priest\, the Rev. Neil Connolly\, came to a new understanding of power while serving the Puerto Rican Catholic population in the South Bronx from 1958 to 1985. Inspired by Vatican II\, Father Connolly used political\, clerical\, and moral power to fight against institutional forces and socio-economic epidemics. However\, his breakthrough came when he realized that his role as a priest called him to lose power and to follow a vision of the church that lets people power transform the church and the world.

SUMMARY:Family and Other Fictions in Late-Ancient Jewish Society
DESCRIPTION:The recourse to “family law” and the language of personal status has often reproduced ahistorical concepts of family and household in the study of ancient Judaism. How did notions of mutuality and reciprocity become so embedded in the discourse about rabbinic management of women’s labor and reproduction? This talk\, presented by Pratima Gopalakrishnan\, considers what other questions we might ask about these texts once the primacy of a certain kind of “family” is challenged. \nAbout the Speaker\nGopalakrishnan is a scholar of late-antique Jewish religion and history who uses theoretical approaches drawn from feminist and queer theory\, and slavery and labor studies. She works primarily with late-antique rabbinic Jewish texts\, as well as the textual and material artifacts of late-antique and early medieval legal cultures\, and considers how ostensibly economic ancient discussions—of the household\, the agricultural field\, but also the laboring body itself—were always imbricated with the projects of defining religious\, ethnic\, and sexual difference. Gopalakrishnan received her Ph.D. from the religious studies department at Yale University\, where she wrote a dissertation titled “Domestic Labor and Marital Obligations in the Ancient Jewish Household.” She is currently the Perilman Post-Doctoral fellow at the Duke Center for Jewish Studies. \nThe Salo Baron New Voices in Jewish Studies Award Lecture is presented in partnership with Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: George G. Szpiro on Risky Decisions: How Mathematical Paradoxes and Other Conundrums Have Shaped Economic Science
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, economics is about making decisions. In the history of economic thought\, great intellectual prowess has been exerted toward devising exquisite theories of optimal decision-making in situations of constraint\, risk\, and scarcity. Yet not all of our choices are purely logical\, so there is a long-standing tension between those emphasizing the rational and irrational sides of human behavior. One strand develops formal models of rational utility-maximizing\, while the other draws on what behavioral science has shown about our tendency to act irrationally. \nIn this talk\, George Szpiro will give examples of mathematical paradoxes and psychological conundrums that have led to advancements in economic science. He will challenge the audience with questions about how to make decisions\, thereby showing how people who believe themselves to be rational can be led astray. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: David Cowen\, president and CEO of the Museum of American\nFinance \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: George G. Szpiro \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: David Cowen \nAbout the Speaker\nGeorge G. Szpiro is an award-winning author and journalist. A longtime correspondent for the Swiss daily Neue Zürcher Zeitung\, his many books include Numbers Rule: The Vexing Mathematics of Democracy\, from Plato to the Present (2010) and Pricing the Future: Finance\, Physics\, and the 300-Year Journey to the Black-Scholes Equation (2011). \nCopies of Risky Business will be raffled off to attendees. \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:Outliers of Orthodoxy: Traditionalist Critics of the Church in the U.S. and the Russian Federation
DESCRIPTION:Over the last several years\, traditionalist bloggers and public activists have become increasingly critical of the leadership and policies of the Orthodox Church in the United States and the Russian Federation. This talk will examine the shifting and occasionally contradictory advocacies of commentators\, such as Rod Dreher\, Dmitry Tsorionov (“Enteo”)\, and Andrei Kuraev. These figures represent a new category of Orthodox intelligentsia whose understandings of faith often defy the traditionalism that they vow to defend. \nThis webinar will feature Alexandar Mihailovic\, a visiting lecturer in American studies at Williams College and emeritus of Russian and comparative literature at Hofstra University. He has written about a range of subjects\, including theology and literary theory\, 19- and 20-century Russian and Ukrainian literature\, the criminal subculture in Russia\, cultural relations during the Cold War\, popular music\, African American studies\, LGBTQ issues\, art history\, music\, and cinema studies. He has also translated Russian literature and literary criticism. \nHis books include Corporeal Words: Mikhail Bakhtin’s Theology of Discourse (Northwestern University Press\, 1997) and The Mitki and Art of Postmodern Protest in Russia (University of Wisconsin Press\, 2019)\, which has recently been re-released as an updated Russian translation published by the New Literary Review in Moscow. Together with Helga Druxes and Karolin Machtans\, he has also edited the collection Navid Kermani: Contemporary German Writers\, about the Iranian-German fiction writer and respected scholar of Islam who has positioned himself as a forthright critic of xenophobia and the resurgent far-right within Germany. \nHe is working on a book about the confluence of American and Russian far-right groups and movements titled Fearful Symmetries: The American and Russian Traditionalist Intelligentsia Looks at Gender and Race. With Druxes and Patricia A. Simpson\, Mihailovic is also co-authoring Resilient Subjects: Contemporary Cinema and Fiction Confront Neoliberalism. \nIn addition to teaching at Williams and Hofstra\, Mihailovic has taught as visiting faculty at Bennington College and at Columbia and Brown universities.

SUMMARY:Liturgical Protest from Fort Benning to Ferguson: A Presentation by Kyle Lambelet\, Emory University
DESCRIPTION:Liturgy\, literally the work of the people\, is political. It involves the movement of bodies in collective actions of confession\, praise\, lament\, and thanksgiving. Liturgy forms bodies into a body politic. In a like manner\, protest—a particular form of political action—can be liturgical. This webinar will explore the liturgy of recent protest movements\, starting with the SOA Watch’s 25-year vigil at the gates of Fort Benning and continuing to the uprisings in Ferguson\, Missouri. Kyle Lambelet will use the concept of liturgical protest to consider the theological significance of these transformative political movements.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Greg Gbur\, professor at the University of North Carolina\, Charlotte\, will present\, “Inverse Scattering and Invisible Objects.” Most problems in physics are “direct” problems\, in which a “cause” is introduced and the “effect” of that cause is determined. Inverse problems reverse this process\, attempting to deduce the “cause” from measurements of the “effect.” Inverse problems are now common in medical imaging\, including CAT scans and MRIs\, in which the internal structure of an object (the “cause”) is determined from the scattering and absorption of radiation (the “effect”). \nWe discuss some basics of inverse problems\, and the challenges in solving them\, in the context of diffraction tomography\, the measurement of an object structure from a scattered field. We show how non-uniqueness in inverse problems is intimately connected with “invisibility\,” and show how this connection can be used to design seemingly “invisible” objects.

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Dilemma of Bombing Auschwitz: Support\, Opposition\, and Reservation
DESCRIPTION:The deportation of Jews from Hungary to Auschwitz-Birkenau began in May 1944. Since Auschwitz-Birkenau was located within the range of the Allies’ bomber aircraft\, demands were being made to bomb the site. But Auschwitz was never destroyed by the allies. The failure to bomb Auschwitz-Birkenau became a symbol of the powerlessness of the free world and of the Jewish leadership to rescue the Jews of Europe. \nBased on archival documents related to the work of American Jewish activists involved in the issue of bombing the camp\, above all Leon Kubowitzki\, who headed the World Jewish Congress’s Rescue Department\, Zohar Segev will offer a new understanding of the issue. The archival documents reveal that Jewish and Zionist leadership requested that the U.S. not bomb Auschwitz and instead seek to examine other forms of military action that could be employed against the camp. The findings show us the importance of re-examination and reformulation of our knowledge and understanding regarding the Holocaust in light of new sources. \nAbout the Speaker\nSegev is a professor of Jewish history at the University of Haifa and teaches courses on American Jewish history and Zionist history\, and he is also the head of the Wolfson Chair in Jewish Religious Thought and Heritage. He is the author of From Ethnic Politicians to National Leaders. American Zionist Leadership\, the Holocaust and the Establishment of Israel (2007) and The World Jewish Congress During the Holocaust: Between Activism and Restraint (2014). This year\, he is a Fordham-NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies\, working on a project titled “Philanthropy\, Politics\, and the Shaping of a Nation: The Nathan Straus Papers in the NYPL.” \nThis event is a joint initiative of Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies and the New York Public Library and is a part of the Fordham-NYPL Joint Research Fellowship Program in Jewish Studies.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Phiala Shanahan\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor\, Department of Physics\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, will present “From Quarks to Nuclei: The Building Blocks of the Universe.” \nMore than 99% of the visible matter in the universe is built from protons and neutrons and the nuclei that they form. This rich structure emerges dynamically from the complex interactions of quarks and gluons\, the most elementary particles that have been discovered. Understanding how nuclear physics arises from the underlying quark and gluon dynamics is a computational challenge that pushes the capabilities of the world’s largest supercomputers. \nIn this colloquium\, we will discuss the subatomic realm and what supercomputer calculations of quarks and gluons can reveal about the origins of mass\, the primordial nuclear reactions that power the sun\, and the nature of the elusive dark matter that permeates the universe.

SUMMARY:Dostoevsky’s Incarnational Realism: A Book Talk with Author Paul J. Contino
DESCRIPTION:Author Paul J. Contino joins Fordham professor emeritus Terrence W. Tilley and Michael Ossorgin\, Russian program director within the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures\, to discuss his book\, Dostoevsky’s Incarnational Realism: Finding Christ Among the Karamazovs (Cascade Books\, 2020). \nAccording to Cascade Books\, “In this book\, Paul Contino offers a theological study of Dostoevsky’s final novel\, The Brothers Karamazov. He argues that incarnational realism animates the vision of the novel and the decisions and actions of its hero\, Alyosha Fyodorovich Karamazov. The book takes a close look at Alyosha’s mentor\, the Elder Zosima\, and the way his role as a confessor and his vision of responsibility ‘to all\, for all’ develops and influences Alyosha. The remainder of the study\, which serves as a kind of reader’s guide to the novel\, follows Alyosha as he takes up the mantle of his elder\, develops as a ‘monk in the world\,’ and\, at the end of three days\, ascends in his vision of Cana. The study attends also to Alyosha’s brothers and his ministry to them: Mitya’s struggle to become a ‘new man’ and Ivan’s anguished groping toward responsibility. Finally\, Contino traces Alyosha’s generative role with the young people he encounters and his final message of hope.” \nContino is a professor at Seaver College\, Pepperdine University. He is the co-editor of Bakhtin and Religion: A Feeling for Faith (Northwestern University Press\, 2001)\, edited and introduced with Susan Felch. \nAbout the Speakers\nTerrence W.

SUMMARY:Calling Out vs. Calling In: Loretta Ross Offers a Different Response to Campus Cancel Culture
DESCRIPTION:College campuses are central in the battle over “cancel culture\,” with a frequent weapon being the practice of “calling out” those who are judged to have said or done something wrong. The result is often conflict and misunderstanding rather than dialogue and mutual comprehension. \nLoretta Ross\, a visiting professor at Smith College\, has become known for her courses that promote students “calling in” rather than “calling out.” \nRoss\, a self-described “Black radical feminist\,” told The New York Times\, “I think you can understand how calling out is toxic. It really does alienate people\, and makes them fearful of speaking up.” \nA signer of last year’s famous letter in Harper’s Magazine against cancel culture\, Ross will speak to the Fordham community in a virtual workshop\, providing students and others a chance to engage with her via Zoom. \nThe talk and workshop will be moderated by Julie Gafney\, executive director of Fordham’s Center for Community Engaged Learning.
