SUMMARY:December 2021 Career Workshop: Career by Design
DESCRIPTION:Discover how you are uniquely designed to thrive\, lead\, and make an impact through your work. \nEveryone brings their unique perspective\, skills\, and experiences into their job\, but not everyone thrives in the same work style. If you like personality and work style tests\, you will love Human Design! Also called “Science of Differentiation\,” this system is based on your innate energetic traits and shows how you are designed to work in an optimal way and lead with impact. \nIn this workshop\, Tijana Buric\, GABELLI ’15\, will explain this complex system in a practical way so that you can learn how to create a career aligned with your unique work style and natural strengths\, and how to navigate your path using specific strategies for each design type.

SUMMARY:Putting on Cologne: An Exploration of a Medieval City
DESCRIPTION:The medieval city of Cologne was a bustling metropolis and a hub of commerce. The city is better known for its economic prowess\, with Jews and Christians working side by side. But it is less known for its contribution to theology and canon law\, from the Jewish to the halakha and Jewish tradition. Nevertheless\, due to the city’s central location between England\, the Low Countries\, northern France\, and the German Rhineland\, it serves as a gauge for assessing many religious\, political\, and cultural processes in the high middle ages. Ephraim Shoham Steiner\, the 2021-2022 visiting scholar and a Fordham-NYPL Fellow in Jewish Studies\, and members of Fordham’s faculty in medieval studies will explore how Cologne served in this fashion\, drawing on examples from both medieval Christian and Jewish sources. \nShoham-Steiner is a professor of medieval Jewish history in the Department of Jewish History at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and an expert on urban life in Europe in the late Middle Ages. For 2021-2022\, he is the Fordham-NYPL Research Fellow in Jewish Studies and a visiting scholar at Fordham University. He is the author of On the Margins of a Minority: Leprosy\, Madness\, and Disability among the Jews of Medieval Europe (Wayne State University Press\, 2014) and Jews and Crime in Medieval Europe (Wayne State University Press\, 2020). \nThis event is presented with Fordham’s Center for Jewish Studies and the Leo Baeck Institute.

SUMMARY:Jesuits and Boarding Schools: Truth\, Reconciliation\, Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:The Taking Responsibility project has a particular goal to highlight not only the history of Jesuit institutions and sexual abuse\, but also to ask how we can confront and handle this history and its many legacies in the present. Following up on last year’s online dialogue\, titled “Native American Communities and the Clerical Abuse Crisis\,” this event will bring together a Jesuit who has been deeply involved in this question along with two speakers who are leaders at—and in one case a graduate of—the Red Cloud Indian School\, now several years into a Truth and Healing process. The panel seeks to address the pressing question of what it means for today’s Jesuit institutions (and their employees\, students\, and graduates) to take responsibility for the full legacy of the Jesuits in North America.

SUMMARY:Exhibiting Medieval Spain: Yesterday and Today

SUMMARY:Leonard Cohen’s Theological Legacy: Exploring the Songwriter's Work Through a Christian Lens
DESCRIPTION:When Leonard Cohen\, the singer-songwriter\, poet\, and novelist\, died five years ago\, the cultural world mourned the loss of a great artist—and religious communities mourned the loss of a unique spiritual voice. Cohen was a Canadian Jew who channeled Christian themes in his work and lived for years as a Buddhist monk. \nHe put all of those beliefs and experiences into words and music\, and the theological legacy of that astonishing body of work is still growing. The latest exploration of Cohen’s vision comes in a new book by the religious studies scholar Marcia Pally\, titled From This Broken Hill I Sing To You: God\, Sex\, and Politics in the Work of Leonard Cohen. \nIn this Fordham Center on Religion and Culture (CRC) webinar\, Pally will highlight the religious impulses of Cohen’s six-decade career. The event will feature a conversation with Fordham theologians Kathryn Reklis and Thomas Beaudoin\, as well as musical performances. \nPally has taught at Fordham University and is a professor in multilingual multicultural studies at New York University. She is an annual guest professor for the theology faculty at Humboldt University-Berlin and has written numerous books and articles on culture\, religion\, and politics. \nKathryn Reklis\, an associate professor of theology at Fordham University\, writes on a range of topics\, from modern Protestant theology and religion to pop culture. She has a regular column in The Christian Century\, and her most recent book is Protestant Aesthetics and the Arts\, co-edited with Sarah Covington. \nThomas Beaudoin\, a professor in Fordham University’s Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education\, focuses on theologies\, philosophies\, and religious studies of practice; concepts and practices of religious disaffiliation and affiliation; and the theological and secular meanings of popular music. \nDavid Gibson\, director of CRC\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the audience.

SUMMARY:GSS Continuing Education: Health Care Decision-Making: What Every Social Worker Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:Despite the Patient Self-Determination Act of 1990\, advance care planning remains poorly understood and often completed at the very end of life. Consequently\, patients are left with making difficult health care decisions in highly stressful situations and poor health. Similarly\, designated health care decision-makers often need to make these decisions with little or no knowledge of the patient’s wishes. This class will provide an overview of advance care planning as an essential component of quality patient care. Advance care planning documents\, such as advance directives and POLST orders\, will be discussed. Strategies on how to facilitate quality advance care planning conversations will be presented\, and the role of the social worker in promoting advance care planning will be elaborated upon. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two (2) continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Discussion: The Jewish Metropolis: New York from the 17th to the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Join contributors to The Jewish Metropolis: New York from the 17th to the 21st Century (Academic Studies Press\, 2021) Daniel Soyer\, Ayelet Brinn\, John M. Dixon\, Diana L. Linden\, and Devin Naar in a discussion of the diversity of the Jewish experience in New York. Over the centuries\, Jews have influenced the city’s culture\, politics\, social fabric\, and economy\, and in turn\, been influenced by them. New York Jews have contributed to the development of American Judaism\, to the rise of modern art\, and to world Jewish culture in English\, German\, Yiddish\, Ladino\, and other languages. Since the 1890s\, New York has been the greatest Jewish metropolis of all time. It’s no wonder that Academic Studies Press has included a volume on the city in its Lands and Ages of the Jewish People series\, the only city so featured. \nAbout the Speakers\nSoyer is a professor of history and Jewish studies at Fordham University. He is editor of The Jewish Metropolis: New York City from the 17th to the 21st Century (Academic Studies Press\, 2021). His other books include The Emerging Metropolis: New York Jews in the Age of Immigration\, 1840-1920 (NYU\, 2012)\, which he wrote with Annie Polland\, and which won a National Jewish Book Award\, and Jewish Immigrant Associations and American Identity in New York\, 1880-1939 (Harvard\, 1997)\, winner of the Saul Viener Award of the American Jewish Historical Society. He is co-editor of the journal American Jewish History. Keep an eye out for his forthcoming book\, Left in the Center: The Liberal Party of New York and the Rise and Fall of American Social Democracy\, due out in January from Cornell University Press. \nBrinn is an American Jewish historian with expertise in gender and popular culture. She received her Ph.D. in history from the University of Pennsylvania in 2019\, and is currently an associate fellow at Fordham University and a scholar in residence at the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute. She is working on a book about the role of gender politics in the development of the American Yiddish press. \nDixon is an associate professor of history at the College of Staten Island and is affiliated with the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. A historian of colonial New York and the Atlantic world\, and a former fellow of the Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History at New York University\, he is currently completing a history of Jews in the early modern Americas. \nLinden is a historian of American art. Her book\, Ben Shahn’s New Deal Murals: Jewish Identity in the American Scene (Wayne State University Press\, 2015)\, was a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award. She was part of the team behind the award-winning City of Promises: A History of the Jews of New York (NYU Press\, 2012). In 2019\, the journal Smithsonian Studies in American Art awarded her the Frost Prize for excellence in scholarship.

SUMMARY:Jewish Studies and Black Studies in Dialogue Series: Creole Ambivalence—The Politics of Jewishness in Caribbean Suriname\, 1890-1959
DESCRIPTION:Suriname\, a small Caribbean country on the northeast coast of South America\, is home to one of the oldest Jewish communities in the Western Hemisphere\, having been established in the mid-1600s by settlers of Iberian Jewish origin and the scores of African people they enslaved. By the turn of the 20th century\, the colony’s Jewish community had transformed in two fundamental ways: The Jews had long shifted their geographic center from a series of interior plantations to the coastal capital of Paramaribo\, and native-born\, Creole (Eurafrican) Jews of mixed Iberian\, Ashkenazic\, and African origin now dominated communal and synagogue life as free people of color. \nThis presentation\, featuring Eli Rosenblatt\, Northwestern University\, in conversation with Belinda Edmondson\, Rutgers University\, will illuminate their lives by examining how the Surinamese-Jewish press interpreted and represented Jewish cultural autonomy in a climate of rising Christian\, anti-colonial sentiment supported by the growth of the colonial mission. Beginning in 1890 with the advent of anti-Jewish violence in Paramaribo and concluding at the beginning stages of independence in the 1950s\, this presentation will trace the politics of being Jewish in Paramaribo while giving special attention to how racial and religious antagonism came to bear on individuals forced by regimes of colonial and Christian power to distinguish between their Jewish and Creole selves. \nAbout the Speakers \nRosenblatt received his Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley and is currently affiliated with Northwestern University. His fellowship at Fordham is grounded in the Working Group on Jewish Studies and Black Studies in Dialogue. Rosenblatt is a scholar of Yiddish culture and Ashkenazic Jews\, with a current interest in the communities of the Atlantic world in the 19th and 20th centuries. \nEdmondson is a professor of English and African American and African studies at Rutgers University\, Newark. She is an elected member of the Johns Hopkins University Society of Scholars and has been the recipient of several fellowships. Her most recent book\, Creole Noise: Early Caribbean Dialect Literature and Performance\, is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.

SUMMARY:The Future of Human Expertise in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: An Interfaith Conversation
DESCRIPTION:How far should artificial intelligence be entrusted to assume tasks once performed by humans? What is gained and lost when it does? What is the optimal mix of robotic and human interaction? We invite you to a conversation with Frank Pasquale\, professor\, Brooklyn Law School; Zahra Takhshid\, assistant professor\, University of Denver Sturm College of Law; and Rabbi Ariel Evan Mayse\, assistant professor\, Stanford University. \nPasquale’s book\, New Laws of Robotics: Defending Human Expertise in the Age of AI\, makes the case that policymakers must not allow corporations or engineers to answer these questions alone. \nThis webinar will explore his vision of technological progress\, in which human expertise is the irreplaceable center of an inclusive economy through interfaith lenses.

SUMMARY:"The Russia Question" Hosts Emerson\, Poole\, and Pattison
DESCRIPTION:“The Russia Question” is a book talk series devoted to all things Russia\, hosted by professor Michael Ossorgin\, Russian program director at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus\, with generous support from the Orthodox Christian Studies Center. Join us for a book talk with Caryl Emerson\, Randall Poole\, and George Pattison for their Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought (Oxford University Press\, 2019). \nThe Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought is an authoritative reference and interpretive volume detailing the origins\, development\, and influence of one of the richest aspects of Russian cultural and intellectual life: its religious ideas. After setting the historical background and context\, the book follows the leading figures and movements in modern Russian religious thought through a period of immense historical upheavals\, including 70 years of officially atheist communist rule and the growth of an exiled diaspora with (e.g.\, its journal The Way). Therefore\, the shape of Russian religious thought cannot be separated from long-running debates with nihilism and atheism. Important thinkers\, such as Losev and Bakhtin\, had to guard their words in an environment of religious persecution\, whilst some views were shaped by prison experiences. \nBefore the Soviet period\, Russian national identity was closely linked with religion—linkages that again are being forged in the new Russia. Relevant in this connection are complex relationships with Judaism. In addition to such religious thinkers as Philaret\, Chaadaev\, Khomiakov\, Kireevsky\, Soloviev\, Florensky\, Bulgakov\, Berdyaev\, Shestov\, Frank\, Karsavin\, and Alexander Men\, the Handbook also looks at the role of religion in aesthetics\, music\, poetry\, art\, film\, and the novelists Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Ideas\, institutions\, and movements discussed include the church academies\, Slavophilism and Westernism\, theosis\, the name-glorifying (imiaslavie) controversy\, the God-seekers and God-builders\, Russian religious idealism and liberalism\, and the neopatristic school. Occultism is considered\, as is the role of tradition and the influence of Russian religious thought in the west. The collection includes two responses from contemporary Russian academic and church life. \nAbout the Speakers\nCaryl Emerson is the A. Watson Armour III University Professor Emeritus of Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton University. Her work has focused on the Russian classics (Pushkin\, Tolstoy\, Dostoevskii); Mikhail Bakhtin; and Russian music\, opera\, and theater. Recent projects include the Russian modernist Sigizmund Krzhizhanovskii (1887 to 1950)\, the allegorical-historical novelist Vladimir Sharov (1952 to 2018)\, and the co-editing\, with George Pattison and Randall A. Poole\, of The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought. \nRandall A. Poole is a professor of intellectual history at the College of St. Scholastica and a fellow of the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University. He is the translator and editor of Problems of Idealism: Essays in Russian Social Philosophy (2003) and co-editor of five other volumes: A History of Russian Philosophy\, 1830–1930: Faith\, Reason\, and the Defense of Human Dignity (2010\, 2013)\, Religious Freedom in Modern Russia (2018)\, The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought (2021)\, Evgenii Trubetskoi: Icon and Philosophy (2021)\, and Law and the Christian Tradition in Modern Russia (2022). He is also the author of many articles and book chapters on Russian intellectual history\, philosophy\, and religion. \nGeorge Pattison is a retired Anglican priest and scholar. His primary research area has been the post-Hegelian philosophy of religion\, with emphasis on Kierkegaard\, Russian religious thought\, Heidegger\, and visual art. He has recently completed a three-part philosophy of Christian life\, pub listed by Oxford University Press (2018\, 2019\, 2021).

SUMMARY:WWII & NYC: The Big Apple Goes to War
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Veteran’s Day for a virtual presentation with the New-York Historical Society\, titled WWII & NYC: The Big Apple Goes to War. \nNew Yorkers did not suffer the devastation experienced by citizens of London\, Moscow\, Berlin\, or Tokyo during World War II. But New York City was a center of activity and contributed disproportionately to the final victory. New York produced everything from battleships and brassieres to periscopes and penicillin\, and more than 3 million troops and more than 63 million tons of supplies passed through New York Harbor en route to the battlefield. In this interactive\, virtual presentation\, hear little-known stories\, such as how a group of German saboteurs landed on Long Island only to take the LIRR in the wrong direction\, and why a portion of the FDR Drive is built atop rubble from Bristol\, England. \nThe cost of this event is $10 per person. Space is limited for this unique experience.

SUMMARY:GSS 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 are not often provided in a timely manner\, if at all. Additionally\, the health care wishes of patients are often 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 the 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 (4) continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:The Weight of Air: A Conversation with Addiction Expert David Poses
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a night of conversation between critically acclaimed author\, speaker\, activist\, and addiction expert David Poses and Graduate School of Social Service Assistant Professor Sameena Azhar\, Ph.D. \nTopics of Discussion \n\nIncreasing overdose rates through the pandemic\nAvailability of buprenorphine vs. methadone\nDecriminalization of substance use\nRole of Big Pharma in perpetuating opioid addiction\n\nThere will be time at the end for a Q&A session with the audience. \nAbout the Speaker\nPoses is focused on evidence-based addiction treatment\, drug policy\, and harm reduction. His writing has been published by the Washington Post\, the Los Angeles Times\, and New York Daily News (among others)\, and he’s appeared on various TV and radio shows and podcasts. He is the author of The Weight of Air: A Story of the Lies about Addiction and the Truth about Recovery. It is a memoir of a double life\, fueled by addiction and mental illness. \nDepression was Poses’ gateway to heroin/opioid addiction. He started using at 16 and kept his struggle hidden long after he got sober with buprenorphine at age 32. Ten years later\, in 2018\, he realized his silence was working against the changes he wanted to see in the world. How could he expect anyone else to talk openly about their addiction or mental health issues if he denied his? Poses set out on a mission to share his experiences with the world through his books\, public speaking\, and bylined articles for major media. Poses lives in New York with his wife\, kids\, and many instruments he can’t really play.
