SUMMARY:Advancing Equity and Justice in Law Through Social Justice Research
DESCRIPTION:Join Fordham University’s Center for Ethics Education in an exciting webinar on law and social justice research featuring national legal experts! \nDespite commitments to fairness\, legal systems often produce uneven outcomes for marginalized populations due to structural factors and cognitive biases that influence legal outcomes. Social justice research provides empirical evidence that can help reform laws\, inform court decisions\, and promote equitable outcomes by identifying disparities and biases\, informing evidence-based legislation\, guiding judicial decision-making\, and holding legal systems accountable.

SUMMARY:Humanitarian Career Path Webinar Series\, No. 1
DESCRIPTION:This series looks to foster a relationship between Fordham students and the larger humanitarian community to explore possible career paths and network with professionals. The first webinar will feature Fordham alumna Samantha Slattery. \nThe 21st century is one that will be defined by the cascading effects of interdependent crises. Humanitarian needs are skyrocketing\, while the international community reckons with its own shortcomings. It will be the work of the rising generation to meet this human suffering in a variety of ways\, introducing skillful means that reflect their diverse experiences and passions. \nWe want any student at Fordham who is interested in the series to attend. The idea here is to highlight a path for anyone\, with any background\, to get into the work\, knowing very well the collaboration of disciplines is a strength and requirement of the sector.

SUMMARY:Historians of the Jews and the Making of Plague Memory
DESCRIPTION:This is the second conversation between professor Joshua Teplitsky and professor Magda Teter on disease and plagues in Jewish history and memory. During this installment Teplitsky and Teter will discuss the role historians have played in shaping public memory of the plagues. They will examine the role premodern chroniclers played in defining “facts” and the way modern historians have approached the topic from the earliest days of modern historiography in the nineteenth century to more recent works. \nJoshua Teplitsky\, Ph.D.\, teaches Jewish history at SUNY Stony Brook. He is the author of Prince of the Press: How One Collector Built History’s Most Enduring and Remarkable Jewish Library\, which was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth
DESCRIPTION:In these uncertain times\, with widespread myths pervading the media\, government policy\, and our homes\, there is a deeper urge to not only discover what is true\, but to be able to recognize falsehoods. This year our Passover will be different from all other Passovers—with more questions to share at real and virtual Seder tables. \nThat’s why we’re pleased to announce that the discussion between Magda Teter\, Ph.D.\, of Fordham University and Sara Lipton of SUNY Stony Brook about Teter’s new book\, Blood Libel: On the Trail of Antisemitic Myth\, will happen online via Zoom\, right before Passover on April 7 at 4 p.m. \nThe book explores the medieval myth that Jews murder Christian children to use their blood—and its surprising persistence over centuries\, cultures\, and continents. The invention and development of printed media contributed to widespread dissemination of the myth\, turning it into a “persistent template of hate”: from mid-12th-century monastic manuscripts to a Facebook group titled\, “Jewish Ritual Murder\,” shut down in 2014\, and beyond. \nTeter is the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies and a professor of history at Fordham. Her work focuses on early modern religious and cultural history\, with emphasis on Jewish-Christian relations\, the politics of religion\, and transmission of culture among Jews and Christians across Europe in the early modern period. She published numerous articles and books in English\, Polish\, Italian\, and Hebrew. Teter was recently appointed the 2020-2021 National Endowment for the Humanities Senior Fellow at the Center for Jewish History\, and she will be working on her current research project\, “The Dissemination and Uses of the Jewish Past: The Role of The Present in The Production and Politics of History.” \nLipton is a professor of history at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Her work focuses on religious identity and experience\, Jewish-Christian relations\, and art and culture in the high and later Middle Ages 11th–15th centuries. Her book\, Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Semitic Iconography examines how changes in Christian devotion and politics affected the visual representation of the Jew. It explains the emergence of the iconographically identifiable Jew around the year 1080 and brings theoretical coherence to the dizzying proliferation of images of Jews in subsequent centuries. Lipton’s current project\, “The Vulgate of Experience: Art and Preaching in the High Middle Ages (1180–1300)\,” explores why and to what effect Christendom invested so much in worshiping the ineffable Word through the material thing.
