SUMMARY:Immigration and Identity\, Borders and Bridges: Francisco Cantú Discusses His Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Francisco Cantú\, a Mexican-American raised in the scrublands of the Southwest\, joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 2008. He spent the next four years hauling in the bodies of dead immigrants and delivering to detention centers those he found alive. Cantú left the Border Patrol in 2012 and began a journey of his own\, culminating in his highly acclaimed 2018 memoir\, The Line Becomes a River: Dispatches from the Border. \nDisputes over immigration have only intensified as the presidential election approaches\, and issues of racism and national identity are playing out around the country. More than ever\, the personal is political\, and Cantú’s memoir is a powerful testimony to understanding this national moment. During this event\, Cantú will discuss his own story\, the process of writing a memoir\, and his take on the ongoing immigration debate. \nGlenn Hendler\, a professor of English and American studies at Fordham\, will moderate the conversation\, and Cantú will take questions from the students in a class Hendler is co-teaching with Fordham’s Writer at Risk in Residence\, Félix Kaputu\, titled “Creating Dangerously: Writing from Conflict Zones.” Other Fordham students and our online audience will also be able to pose questions using the chat feature. David Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will open and close the event\, as well as help field audience questions.

SUMMARY:The Shaker Moment: Why an 18th-Century Utopian Sect Appeals to Our Modern Age
DESCRIPTION:For most people\, the Shakers are more of a brand than a faith. If someone knows anything about them\, it is their simple lifestyle and carefully crafted furniture. Shaker-inspired chairs and cabinets appear in home design magazines\, and 19th-century Shaker furniture can be found in art museums and in private collections. Yet the Shakers were much more than their furniture\, and their legacy informs our modern longings far more than we may realize. \nThe United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing\, as the Shakers called themselves\, was one of the most successful and long-lived utopian societies in America. They believed in radical gender and racial equality long before those movements gained popular appeal and their spiritual practices included ecstatic dance and spirit drawings alongside quiet reflection and somber prayer. As one of the last living Shakers quipped a few years ago: “I don’t want to be remembered as a chair.” \nHow should we remember the Shakers? What does their religious and communal vision have to offer the world today? For the past two years\, a group of religion scholars and art historians\, practicing artists\, and museum professionals considered the legacy of the Shakers in the present day. The project was generously funded by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation to the Fordham theology department and was co-directed by Kathryn Reklis and Lacy Schutz. This webinar convenes some of the “Shaker Fellows” from this project to talk about what they learned and how the Shaker witness can inspire our own moment. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will open and close the event\, and he will assist in fielding questions from the online audience. \nPanelists \n\nKathryn Reklis\, an associate professor of theology at Fordham\, writes on a range of topics\, from modern Protestant theology to religion and pop culture. Her most recent book is Protestant Aesthetics and the Arts\, co-edited with Sarah Covington.\nLacy Schutz is the executive director of the Shaker Museum\, which stewards the most comprehensive collection of Shaker material culture and archives\, as well as the historic Shaker site in New Lebanon\, New York. The museum’s permanent new facility\, in Chatham\, New York\, is slated for completion in 2023.\nCourtney Bender\, a professor of religion at Columbia University\, specializes in contemporary American religion. She is completing a book on modernist visions of the future of religion that developed in 20th-century architectural and planning projects.\nMaggie Taft is an art historian specializing in modern design and the curator of the Shaker Museum exhibit that was installed in downtown Chatham\, New York.\nAshon T. Crawley is a professor of religious studies and African-American studies at the University of Virginia and author of Blackpentecostal Breath: The Aesthetics of Possibility. He is also a practicing artist.
