SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Decentering Power in Clinical Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Completion of this class will result in the receipt of two (2) continuing education hours. \nTraditional supervision is rooted in oppressive practices that assume the superiority of one over the other. In addition\, because mental health professionals are predominantly white\, clinicians of color in community practice or in an internship are more likely to have white supervisors—adding societal-level power dynamics into the supervisory relationship. In this class\, Norissa Williams\, Ph.D.\, will discuss anti-oppressive supervision practices that address power dynamics. Rooted in an anti-blackness framework that considers the experiences of all BIPOC individuals\, this discussion will explore restructuring hierarchies in supervisory practices\, white supremacy culture and how it may manifest in supervision\, internalized oppression and its manifestation in internalized superiority or internalized inferiority\, and conclude with best practices for supervisors and supervisees in enacting their liberation. \nAbout the Instructor\nNorissa Williams holds a doctorate in psychology\, a master’s in social work\, and is the CEO of Liberation Research and Practice Institute (RPI). Liberation RPI partners with organizations to achieve the aims of liberation by developing their capacity to be anti-racist and anti-oppressive\, and develop cultural competence. She accomplishes this through the provision of trainings\, needs assessment\, strategic action planning\, program implementation\, facilitation\, and moderation. Williams has previously served as clinical faculty and program director of the master’s in counseling program at NYU. In addition\, she has had other county-level leadership positions with the aim of helping organizations operate more equitably. Her scholarship relates to culturally embedded processes of coping socialization\, cross-cultural differences in mental health help-seeking behaviors\, critical consciousness development\, decolonizing and liberating pedagogical and clinical practices\, as well as anti-racist/anti-oppressive practices in organizational contexts.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Joseph Calandro on The Business of Personal Finance: How to Improve Financial Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime talk with author Joseph Calandro as he discusses his new book\, The Business of Personal Finance: How to Improve Financial Wellness. This book is no ordinary personal finance book. It presents\, in a highly accessible way\, how to effectively understand and manage personal finances\, avoid debt and build for the future\, and use straightforward tools and techniques developed in conjunction with business economics. \nFun to read\, the book leverages core corporate finance principles in a way that helps people become more financially literate in their personal lives. The premise of this book\, that personal and corporate finance can and should be learned together to improve financial wellness and know-how\, is considered a breakthrough. Using approaches that have been tried\, tested\, and proven to work with individuals and employees\, the authors apply common business activities like “due diligence\,” and tools\, such as “financial statement analysis\,” to personal finance. This connection has not been presented before\, either theoretically or practically. And yet it has the power to transform how individuals successfully manage their own finances and\, at the same time\, inform and educate them on the important aspects of the financial direction of the organizations in which they work. \nThis is a must-have book for those who are looking for a credible reference tool for how to manage their own finances effectively and for organizations seeking to assist their employees in sound financial management\, at every level\, both at work and at home. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Speaker Introduction: James Kelly\, director\, Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis \n12:08: p.m.: Presentation: Joseph Calandro \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: James Kelly \nAbout the Speaker\nJoe Calandro is a managing director of a global consulting firm with more than 35 years of broad industry\, consulting\, teaching\, and research experience in the United States and internationally focusing on strategy/M&A\, business intelligence/analytics\, and performance/risk management. \nHe is also a fellow of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis at Fordham University\, a contributing editor of Strategy & Leadership\, and a member of the nonprofit Progress Through Business. \nCalandro is the author of The Business of Personal Finance: How to Improve Financial Wellness (Routledge\, 2022)\, Creating Strategic Value (Columbia Business School Publishing\, 2020)\, and Applied Value Investing (McGraw-Hill\, 2009). He has also published widely on financial subjects in the Journal of Investing\, Journal of Private Equity\, Strategy & Leadership\, Journal of Alternative Investments\, etc. \nCopies of The Business of Personal Finance: How to Improve Financial Wellness 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:2022 Gannon Lecture and Reception
DESCRIPTION:Marilyn Martone\, Ph.D.\, will present “From Trauma to Disability: Examining Our Cultural Values.” During the presentation\, Martone will examine what it is like to have trauma end life as you know it and then be processed through a fragmented healthcare system that focuses on acute care. It will examine the rehabilitation journey and the world of disability. One cannot go on this journey without recognizing the role that our societal values play in marginalizing persons with disabilities. This journey is\, at its core\, a fight over who counts as a “productive” person\, what values determine the allocation of resources\, and how cultural attitudes toward vulnerability affect both the caregiver and those who are cared for. Two models of personhood are presented and the consequences of each are explored. How we treat the most vulnerable among us highlights who we are as a society.

SUMMARY:Exploring Christian Space: A Dialogue Between Professors Dina Boero and Mary Farag
DESCRIPTION:How did Christians view and use space in late antiquity? Since the beginning of the academic study of religion\, the notion of sacred space has been central to a definition of the ways in which humans bind themselves to the divine. In this discussion\, two experts will discuss the role constructions of space played in Christian worship\, asceticism\, pilgrimage\, and other practices. \nThe broadcast will be livestreamed and open to all who have pre-registered. 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. \nAbout the Speakers\nDina Boero\, Ph.D.\, is associate professor of ancient Mediterranean history at The College of New Jersey. Boero is a historian of late antiquity. Her research elucidates the making of saints\, the anthropology of pilgrimage\, and the development of monasticism in late-antique Syria. Whereas most scholars who address these topics focus only on the literary evidence\, Boero integrates the archaeological record with Syriac and Greek sources to highlight saints and the institutions that supported them (churches\, pilgrimage complexes\, monasteries) as sites for negotiating competing meanings and practices. Her current book project\, The Anatomy of a Cult\, traces the history of Symeon the Stylite the Elder’s (d. 459) cult in the fifth to seventh centuries. Boero received her B.A. in religion from the University of California: San Diego and her M.A. and Ph.D. in classics from the University of Southern California. Before joining the faculty at TCNJ\, she held a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University in 2016-2017 and served as a visiting researcher position at the University of Waterloo in 2013-2014. \nMary K. Farag is a historian of Christianity in late antiquity. Her book What Makes a Church Sacred? Legal and Ritual Perspectives from Late Antiquity was published in 2021 as both a paperback edition and an open-access downloadable book. In general\, Farag’s research focuses on Christian liturgical practices in late antiquity and their role in the wider Greco-Roman\, Byzantine\, and Islamic worlds. Her geographic specialty in Egypt often leads her abroad to study Coptic and Arabic manuscripts and participate in archaeological projects. Farag is active in educational work in Coptic Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox parishes. \nEmanuel Fiano is an assistant professor of Syriac studies in the theology department at Fordham University. He researches the intellectual history of late ancient Christianity\, with a particular focus on Syriac and Coptic literature\, religious controversies\, Christian-Jewish relations\, and canonical production. His first monograph\, Three Powers in Heaven: The Emergence of Theology and the Parting of the Ways (Yale University Press\, June 2023)\, examines the relevance of the fourth-century debates about Christ’s relationship to the father—also known as Trinitarian controversies—for the so-called “parting of ways” between Christianity and Judaism. The project on which he is currently at work centers on the interplay between law and theology as domains of discursive production in early Christianity and aims at redescribing their role in the establishment of an orthodoxy-based public order in the late Roman empire (with forays beyond the lines).

SUMMARY:Synodality: Catholicism’s Past\, Present\, and Future – Theologians and Historians on the Church at the Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:“Synodality” has been the central theme of Pope Francis’s pontificate—and the source of intense opposition and widespread misunderstanding as the pope tries to create a culture of collaboration and participation in a church long predicated on a hierarchical model. \nSo\, what is synodality? Why is there so much confusion? What is the history of this process? What does it look like today? And does it have a future? \nSynodality may seem like a buzzword to many\, but it appears to be here to stay: Pope Francis just announced that instead of a single “Synod on Synodality” in October 2023\, he would extend the global consultation by a year\, culminating in a second meeting at the Vatican in October 2024. \nThis panel features three distinguished theologians whose research and experience range from the halls of the Holy See to the pews of United States parishes. \nPanelists \nRafael Luciani is a Venezuelan theologian and advisor to the Vatican’s Secretariat for the Synod of Bishops. He is currently serving as an associate professor of theology at Boston College. His most recent book is Synodality: A New Way of Proceeding in the Church. \nSusan Bigelow Reynolds is an assistant professor of Catholic studies at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. Her research examines “the intersection of ecclesiology and lived Catholicism.” She has a new book from Fordham University Press titled People Get Ready: Ritual\, Solidarity\, and Lived Ecclesiology in Catholic Roxbury. \nBrian Flanagan is an associate professor of theology at Marymount University who specializes in ecclesiology and church history. His most recent book is Stumbling in Holiness: Sin and Sanctity in the Church. He is currently writing a book on Pope Francis’s efforts to integrate practices of participation and transparency in the Catholic Church. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the audience.

SUMMARY:Welcoming the Stranger: Abrahamic Hospitality and Contemporary Implications
DESCRIPTION:One of the signal moments in the narrative of Abraham is his insistent and enthusiastic reception of three strangers. That moment is a beginning point of inspiration for all three Abrahamic traditions as they evolve and develop the details of their respective teachings. Such notions have been seriously challenged on many occasions throughout history. \nThe purpose of this conference is to explore these issues from a theoretical and theological perspective\, and a perspective that examines concrete historical and contemporary instances within the past 120 years in which aspects of these issues have played out\, most recently during the ongoing Ukrainian refugee crisis. \nSpeakers \n\nOri Z. Soltes\, Georgetown University\nThomas Massaro\, S.J.\, Fordham University\nZeki Saritoprak\, John Carroll University\nRachel Stern\, founding and executive director\, Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted\, Ostracized\, and Banned Art\nMimi Tsankov\, immigration judge\, U.S. Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review\nMohsin Mohi Ud Di\, founder\, #MeWe International Inc.\, a global nonprofit\nCarol Prendergast\, senior advisor\, Alfanar Venture Philanthropy

SUMMARY:Who Counts As Catholic? Central American Proxy Wars and the Battle for Catholic Identity
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture presented by Theresa Keeley\, Ph.D.\, University of Louisville. \nMuch of today’s conversation about U.S. Catholics and politics centers on so-called “culture war” issues\, but in the 1970s and 1980s\, Catholics sparred over foreign policy in Central America. Behind the political debate was one about the meaning of Catholic identity. By highlighting this transnational debate\, we can see how contesting Catholic views shaped U.S. Cold War policy and how U.S. foreign policy aggravated divisions among Catholics from the U.S. and Central America.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Quamrul Haider\, Ph.D.\, professor in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics\, will present\, “Can We Keep Our Planet Inhabitable Until 2050?” \nIt is a very dicey time for our planet. In the last 100 years or so\, because of our unrestrained use of fossil fuels and systematic over-exploitation of natural resources\, we have pushed the planet toward climatological catastrophe. By polluting the air we breathe\, contaminating the water we drink\, and chemically altering the soil we till\, we have changed the climate and the environment of our planet beyond measure. \nToday\, we are seemingly transitioning to a new geologic epoch\, Holocene to Anthropocene\, in which the climate is very different from the one our ancestors knew. We are staring at an ever-hotter climate\, rising sea levels\, melting glaciers\, raging wildfires\, frequent and ferocious storms\, widespread droughts\, accelerated species extinctions\, crop failures\, and tens of millions of climate refugees. Simply put\, we dug ourselves into a deep hole\, yet we have not stopped digging. \nWithout major action to reduce emissions\, the global average temperature is on track to rise by 2.5 to 4.5°C by 2050. Will our planet remain inhabitable by then? Under the present circumstances\, the state of our planet in 2050 seems frightening ― “more hostile and less fertile\, more crowded\, and less diverse.”

SUMMARY:Clavius Distinguished Lecture 2022: From Fracking to Film – The Importance of Informatics and Data Analytics
DESCRIPTION:Informatics has quietly become a tool that underpins nearly every aspect of our lives. In the realm of energy markets\, it helps answer questions ranging from how best to frack a well to how we keep our lights (and heat) on. And in the film industry\, which is recovering from a true “black swan” event in COVID-19\, one that rapidly distorted viewing habits\, some producers and distributors using informatics to determine when and where to release a film. Whether used to predict human behaviors or physical phenomena\, informatics and data science are perhaps the most important tools in the toolbox for ensuring quality of life. When used to prescribe or manipulate human behaviors\, they are perhaps the biggest threat. \nJoin distinguished members of the Fordham community for this conversation! A reception will follow the lecture. \nAgenda \n\nWelcome: Ann Gaylin\, Ph.D.\, dean\, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences\, Fordham University\nIntroduction: D. Frank Hsu\, Ph.D.\, Clavius Distinguished Professor of Science\, Department of Computer and Information Science\, Fordham University\nKeynote Address: Allen Gilmer\n\nAbout the Speaker\nAllen Gilmer is the founder and former CEO and chairman of Enverus\, a leading energy industry software as a service platform. He is also managing partner of Redbud Studios and AHuevo Films\, which produces and finances feature films and streaming content\, including the controversial Alina of Cuba about Fidel Castro’s daughter and her defection from Cuba in 1993—currently in production starring Ana Villafane and James Franco. Gilmer has been recognized as an EY Entrepreneur of the Year in Texas\, by various Texas business journals as Best Large Company CEO\, and by Texas Monthly as Best Geoscientist in Texas. He received his B.S. in geosciences from Rice University and his M.S. in geosciences from The University of Texas at El Paso\, where his thesis was selected as “Outstanding Thesis” in 1987 and where he was honored as distinguished alumni in 2017. He worked with Frank Hsu to establish the Data Analytics program at UTEP\, which offers everything from certificates to doctorates.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Tools for Effective Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Social work interns often have their first client interactions in the field. Integrating their coursework into these clinical interactions can be challenging. Having the emotional and technical support of their field supervisors can turn those challenges into accomplishments. In this seminar\, we will discuss the benefits of integrating role-play simulations in supervision to build clinical skills and student awareness\, and increase student self-efficacy. We will also review techniques on how to provide constructive feedback on these role-plays and client interactions. \nSupervision not only provides professional development\, but it also provides an opportunity to help students develop reflective practice skills and healthy boundaries. By helping students develop a reflective practice\, we can foster self-awareness\, build critical thinking skills\, facilitate personal growth\, and empower students to proactively address life/work challenges during supervision sessions. In this seminar\, we will discuss the use of self in practice\, along with the challenges new social workers face trying to balance their personal and professional selves. We will also review debriefing strategies to assist in building this reflective practice. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 2 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Colloquium: Characterization and Classification of Aerosol Particles
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Holler\, Ph.D.\, professor and chair in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics\, will present “Characterization and Classification of Aerosol Particles.” \nLight scattering is a useful tool for characterizing airborne particulate matter. For spherical particles\, the characterization and classification are trivial\, but this is not so for nonspherical particles. The vast majority of airborne particulate matter is irregularly shaped and/or comprised of small constituent particles. The irregularity of the shape of this particulate matter poses challenges for the inverse problem. Digital holography has emerged as a useful tool for capturing light-scattering data and shape and orientation that make the inverse problem tractable. Two-dimensional light-scattering patterns may also be used in conjunction with multivariate statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms to perform classification of unknown particulates against known morphologies. \nThis talk will discuss the characterization and classification of airborne particulate matter using both of these techniques.

SUMMARY:Women Scholars: Divine Inspiration in Byzantium: A Conversation with Karin Krause
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center is delighted to present the next 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 pre-registered. 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. This episode features a conversation with Karin Krause and Ashley Purpura. \nAbout the Speakers\nKarin Krause\, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Munich\, is an associate professor of Byzantine art and religious culture at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. Before arriving in Chicago\, she taught in the Department of Art History at the University of Basel. She specializes in the Christian visual cultures of Byzantium and the premodern Mediterranean region. Professor Krause’s research interests include visual hermeneutics\, Byzantine manuscript culture\, the interrelation of texts and images\, the cult of relics\, the theology of the icon\, and phenomena of cultural exchange between Byzantium and the West. In her most recent book\, Divine Inspiration in Byzantium: Notions of Authenticity in Art and Theology (Cambridge University Press\, 2022)\, she examines the intersecting conceptions of divine inspiration and authenticity in the literature and visual arts of Byzantium. Krause traces how ancient ideas about the divine origin of texts and material artifacts were reinterpreted in Byzantine literature and art to promulgate claims to religious truth and authority. \nAshley Purpura is an associate professor of religious studies at the School of Interdisciplinary Studies\, a faculty fellow of the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Program\, and the director of the Women’s\, Gender\, & Sexuality Studies program at Purdue University. She is the author of God\, Hierarchy\, and Power: Orthodox Theologies of Authority from Byzantium (Fordham University Press\, 2018)\, and co-editor of Orthodox Tradition and Human Sexuality (Fordham University Press\, 2022). Purpura’s current research projects focus on rethinking assumptions about women\, gender\, and otherness in light of Orthodox sources\, traditions\, and theology.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Meaning-Centered Supervision – A Structured\, Self-Reflective Model for Healthcare Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:Completion of this class will result in the receipt of three (3) continuing education hours. \nRebecca Cammy will introduce participants to the novel meaning-centered supervision (MCS) curriculum (an adaptation of meaning-centered psychotherapy) which guides healthcare social workers in connecting a sense of meaning and purpose in work as they develop personal and professional identities. MCS includes seven structured sessions in which social workers craft narratives around themes of professional attitude\, living and creating work life\, and connections with the social work profession. In this workshop\, participants will be trained in the full MCS series concepts and themes and utilize the experiential exercises in a personal self-reflective meaning-making process. MCS curriculum materials will be provided for participants to utilize with their mentees in their own supervision practice. Application of the course material to additional staff support settings will also be discussed. \nAbout the Instructor\nRebecca “Becky” Cammy is the manager of social work for the oncology service line at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. She was a 2021 Cambia Health Foundation Sojourns scholar and 2017 leadership fellow in the New York University Zelda Foster Studies program. Cammy is passionate about health care disparities and engaged in research to highlight best practices and link patient outcomes with psychosocial support services. She co-authored two chapters in the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Social Work\, 2nd edition (2022). Cammy has a small private practice specializing in serious illnesses\, including cancer diagnoses and chronic medical issues\, as well as grief\, loss\, and bereavement. She also runs a clinical supervision group for medical social workers. She earned her master’s in social work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and is currently pursuing her doctorate in palliative care at the University of Maryland Baltimore.

SUMMARY:Julia Ng\, Daoism\, and Capitalism: Modern German Jewish Philosophy’s Encounter with China
DESCRIPTION:In the early decades of the 20th century\, major figures of modern German-Jewish thought converged upon Daoism as a source of capital-critical alternatives to state power. Ideas from China had been circulating in German-speaking lands since the 18th century of Leibniz and Kant\, largely facilitated by German and Dutch Jesuit and colonial networks. By the 1910s and ’20s\, translations of philosophical and literary classics and socio-political analyses enabled by a circuit of missionaries\, diplomats\, and scholar-enthusiasts had inspired Germanophone writers at large to adapt Chinese ideas in their works. Yet the German-Jewish reception was singular and pivotal to the emergence of what would later come to be known as the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. Building on her recent work\, Julia Ng’s lecture focuses on one concept\, in particular\, that was broadly associated with Daoism—wu wei or ’non-action’—and its transformation by Martin Buber\, Franz Kafka\, Franz Rozenzweig\, and Walter Benjamin into variations of non-participation in the capitalist ethic\, non-conformity with the Christian-colonial project\, and non-absorption into the racialization of work prevalent in theories of political and economic activity to this day. \nDespite burgeoning interest in Daoism’s global reception and critical theory’s continuing relevance for analyzing transnational sociopolitical phenomena\, the historical-conceptual links between the two have received no critical attention. Using extensive new archival work to reconstruct early critical theory’s shared network of texts\, translators\, visitors\, and ideas concerning Daoism that issued from a China at the intersection of colonialism\, capitalism\, and revolution\, Ng proposes ways to begin investigating the impact of a concept from the global south on the development of this major movement within modern European philosophy. In doing so\, she calls attention to the possibility of reconfiguring critical theory’s resources for a world not organized solely around European paradigms of action and knowledge. Indeed\, she believes that the re-instantiation of the questions that Daoist ideas permitted early critical theory to pose speaks with urgency to our current predicaments involving infrastructure-based politics\, ecology\, and a globalized political economy organized increasingly around an “Asiatic mode of production.” \nMembers of the Fordham community may attend the event in person at the Lincoln Center campus\, in McMahon Hall room 109. \nAbout the Speaker\nJulia Ng is a senior lecturer in critical theory and co-director of the Centre for Philosophy and Critical Thought at Goldsmiths\, University of London. She is the co-editor and translator of the new critical edition of Walter Benjamin’s Toward the Critique of Violence (2021)\, as well as of Werner Hamacher’s Two Studies of Friedrich Hölderlin (2020)\, both of which appeared with Stanford University Press. Besides writing extensively on the links between modern mathematics\, political thought\, and theories of history and language particularly in the work of Benjamin and Scholem—including a co-edited Modern Language Notes Special Issue on “Walter Benjamin\, Gershom Scholem\, and the Marburg School” (2012) and articles on Cohen\, Meyerson\, and Reinach—she is also the author of essays on critical theory more broadly\, including on Agamben\, Derrida\, Descartes\, Hölderlin\, Kraus\, Marx\, Nelson\, Baudelaire\, and Sappho. She is currently working on a project on Daoism and capitalism while a research fellow at the Center for Jewish History and Fordham University.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Care in Context – Advance Care Planning and the Role of Social Work
DESCRIPTION:Our current healthcare system is fragmented and in need of transformation. Care is inequitably delivered and too often incongruent with patient preferences. Advance care planning conversations lay the foundation for person-centered\, family-focused\, culturally congruent\, goal-concordant quality care. Although ideally occurring over a lifetime\, advance care planning conversations are an essential element of primary palliative care and especially important for those who are seriously ill. Social workers have the clinical background to provide nuanced\, advance-care planning conversations and are often well-positioned to offer leadership in developing advance care planning programs within their organizations. This interactive workshop will explore best practices in advance care planning with a focus on the social work role. Advance care planning tools and resources will be provided. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 3 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Maeera Shreiber on Holy Envy: Writing in the Jewish Christian Borderzone
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book launch and public lecture\, co-sponsored with the Center for Jewish History. \nOver the last 50 years\, Jewish-Christian dialogue has made enormous strides. We now read each other’s scriptures and openly discuss differences\, as well as contiguities. Yet\, many such encounters have become somewhat rote and predictable. Holy Envy: Writing in the Jewish Christian Borderzone seeks to sharpen the dialogue by inviting readers to push past familiar terrain and explore the complex emotional landscape that sometimes colors one’s relationship with the religious “Other.” Demonstrating how such emotions as shame\, envy\, and desire can inform these encounters\, Holy Envy charts a new way of thinking about interreligious relations. Moreover\, by focusing on modern and contemporary writers who traffic in the volatile space between Judaism and Christianity\, the book calls attention to how these emotionally intense interactions make for creative possibilities. Holy Envy will engage readers who are interested in literature\, religion\, and\, above all\, interfaith dialogue. \nMaeera Y. Shreiber is an associate professor of English and former director of Religious Studies at the University of Utah\, where she teaches and writes about poetry\, Jewish American literature\, ethnic American studies\, religious studies\, and interfaith relations. Shreiber is the author of\, among other books\, Singing in a Strange Land: A Jewish American Poetics (2007). \nThis in-person event will also be livestreamed on Zoom for those unable to attend in person. Please indicate how you will attend during registration.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Self-Care for Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:While most social workers are well aware of the importance of self-care\, this knowledge doesn’t necessarily translate into robust self-care practices. Today’s social workers are more in need than ever of accessible methods for contending with the threats posed by burnout. This class draws on a variety of Ayurvedic practices that social workers can incorporate into a sustainable and effective self-care plan. It will start with an overview of Ayurveda\, a holistic medical system premised on balancing our nervous systems\, minds\, bodies\, and spirits via simple\, daily lifestyle habits. This workshop provides an overview of some of Ayurveda’s core daily habits and how they can help social workers manage burnout symptoms. Practiced regularly\, these habits balance our circadian rhythms\, lead to deeper states of restoration and rest\, and achieve a shift from feeling overwhelmed toward ease in mind and body. Ayurvedic tools like rhythmic eating practices for healthy digestion\, self-massage for grounding the nervous system\, and meditation for mental and emotional stability are central to this workshop. We will also discuss methods for effectively integrating new self-care habits. The importance of workplace culture\, leadership buy-in and modeling of self-care\, and collective self-care will also be discussed. The workshop will conclude with a solution-focused group exercise for creating a simple self-care action plan. \nTwo continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author Ian Johnson on "China’s New Civil Religion: A Challenge and Opportunity for the West"
DESCRIPTION:When outsiders think of religion in China\, they tend to focus on persecution; for example\, Muslims in Xinjiang or Christians in many big Chinese cities. While that is true for some faiths\, China is in the midst of a religious boom\, one that the government is trying to use to further its grip on power. \nIn this lecture\, Ian Johnson\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Souls of China: The Return of Religion After Mao\, argues that as the Chinese Communist Party seeks to maintain its hold on power\, authorities are building something similar to the American “civil religion” that Robert Bellah described half a century ago. Johnson will discuss how Beijing is combining patriotism with local faiths\, especially Buddhism\, Taoism\, and folk religion. But\, he asks\, can authoritarianism and religious life coexist? What are the risks as the Beijing government embraces some religions while opposing others? \nThis presentation and audience conversation could not come at a more critical time\, as China is vying for prominence on the world stage with the United States while also keeping an eye on growing unrest at home. Both globally and domestically\, religion is once again at the center of questions about China’s future. \nJohnson lived and studied in China for more than 20 years and now works at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City\, where he researches social trends in China. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate a discussion after the talk\, including questions from the audience. \nThis event is co-organized with the U.S.-China Catholic Association.

SUMMARY:Remembering: Talking About the Holocaust in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Fordham University and the Under-Told Stories Project of the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota\, in partnership with the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York\, invite you to a special observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. \nRecent surveys have shown steadily diminishing public awareness of the Holocaust amid a rise in disinformation and revisionism. This panel of leading thinkers will discuss how media\, educators\, religious institutions\, and governments can fight Holocaust denial and deepen understanding of the genocide. What is the role of allies? \nThe discussion will begin with a screening of Fred de Sam Lazaro’s 2022 PBS NewsHour segment on the children’s book Nicky & Vera: A Quiet Hero of the Holocaust and the Children He Rescued. Written and illustrated by Peter Sís\, it tells the story of Nicholas Winton\, the “British Schindler\,” who helped 669 children escape Czechoslovakia just before Nazi occupation. \nThe panelists will delve into the conditions that allowed the ripening and spread of antisemitism in the years leading up to the Holocaust\, and they will bring home the relevance of those circumstances today. \nModerators \n\nFred de Sam Lazaro\, correspondent/director\, The Under-Told Stories Project\nPeter Osnos\, founder\, PublicAffairs Books\n\nPanelists \n\nJudy Woodruff\, anchor\, PBS NewsHour\nMagda Teter\, Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies\, Fordham University\nJames Loeffler\, Jay Berkowitz Professor of Jewish History\, University of Virginia\nLinda Kinstler\, author\, Come to This Court and Cry: How the Holocaust Ends\n\nSpecial Guest: Eva Paddock\, Educator and One of “Winton’s Children” Rescued from Czechoslovakia on the Eve of World War II \nA reception will follow the discussion at 7 p.m.

SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Health Care When You’re Not “Doing Therapy”
DESCRIPTION:Trauma-informed care is more than just the newest catchphrase: It’s a paradigmatic shift away from delineating the traumas themselves and aids the clinician in focusing on a person having traumatic responses. In health care\, where long-term trauma therapy is not often the focus of work\, it’s necessary to help clinicians better understand how trauma-informed care can help them provide more attuned and more regulating interventions\, no matter how short the session time—or even if you’re sitting on a patient’s bedside commode for the meeting. The role of trauma-informed stabilization and psychoeducation in health care will be explored. Recognizing how our bodies respond to adversity\, and how this manifests in and is impacted by the experience of illness and health care\, can better inform targeted\, short-term interventions and crisis work. \nThe class is experiential and may be evocative\, and requires focused\, active participation and reflection. Two continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.
