SUMMARY:February Fellowships Week: Benefits of Keeping a Work-Journal
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever struggled with talking about yourself in application essays? In this talk\, Alex Finn-Atkins (Office of Prestigious Awards; Ph.D. candidate\, English) will discuss how regular journaling can help you to document your personal and professional growth and how maintaining this practice can aid in the process of applying to prestigious fellowships and awards. This session will be useful to both undergraduate and graduate students interested in taking their preparation for professional opportunities to the next level.

SUMMARY:Black Churches\, Black Catholics: Exploring a Groundbreaking New Survey from Pew Research
DESCRIPTION:Black Christians have played an outsized role in the nation’s religious\, as well as political and social\, life despite America’s brutal legacy of systemic racism. That role has been sharpened by the response of the Black churches to America’s recent upheavals and elections. \nThe Pew Research Center recently released the largest-ever survey of Black believers in the United States titled\, “Faith Among Black Americans.” Its findings provide critical insights into the present and future dynamics of the Black churches—as well as surprising facts about Black Catholics in particular. \nThis webinar will feature an overview of the data by the study’s lead researcher\, plus a discussion with leading experts on Black Catholicism. We will also field questions from our online audience. \nPanelists \nBesheer Mohamed\, Ph.D.\, is a senior researcher at Pew Research Center and one of the principal authors of the new report. \nKiana Cox\, Ph.D.\, is a research associate at Pew Research Center and a principal author of the new report. \nTia Noelle Pratt\, Ph.D.\, is a sociologist of religion specializing in the ways systemic racism affects Black Catholic identity. She received her doctorate in sociology from Fordham University in 2010. She is the president of TNPratt & Associates\, an inclusion and diversity consulting firm in Philadelphia\, and she is the curator of the #BlackCatholicsSyllabus. She is currently working on a book\, Faithful and Devoted: Racism and Identity in the African-American Catholic Experience. \nBryan Massingale\, S.T.D.\, is a priest of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee\, a professor of theological and social ethics\, and the James and Nancy Buckman Chair in Applied Christian Ethics at Fordham University. His most recent book is Racial Justice and the Catholic Church. His current writing projects explore the contributions of Black radicalism to Catholic theology and the intersections of race\, sexuality\, and faith. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the online audience. \nThis event is part of an ongoing series\, Race & Faith\, in collaboration with Fordham’s Office of Campus Ministry.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Eve Stenson\, Ph.D.\, FCRH ’04\, Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics\, will present “En Route to Confining Electron-Positron “Pair Plasmas” in the Laboratory. \nIt’s pretty widely known what happens when matter and antimatter get together: They annihilate\, their mass turned into energy. But if the particles in question are electrons and positrons in a strategically chosen regime (i.e.\, temperatures of ~10\,000 K and ultra-low densities of less than a trillionth of the air around us)\, that process can be expected to take quite a while—at least minutes\, if not hours. And in the meantime\, that mix of collectively interacting\, positively and negatively charged particles\, all with identical mass\, form a uniquely symmetric system for investigating fundamental plasma physics. The motivation is to verify and improve our understanding both of terrestrial fusion confinement devices and certain features of our universe\, past and present. Sound like an exciting prospect? All you need is enough antimatter\, somewhere to combine it with matter\, and a few parts in between. In short\, this seminar will be about real-life “antimatter containment fields\,” where to get the antimatter from in the first place\, and some of the neat things you can do with it.
