SUMMARY:Is it Time to Decolonize the Terms Byzantine & Byzantium?
DESCRIPTION:The people we call “Byzantine” self-defined as “Romans.” The terms “Byzantium” and “Byzantine” were first employed by Western scholars more than a century after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in an effort to differentiate what they perceived to be the authentic Roman empire from its later\, eastern\, and Christian derivation. For centuries\, these terms circulated within Western scholarship with a not-so-subtle sense of derogatory critique (e.g.\, Edward Gibbon). Perhaps ironically\, “Byzantine” and “Byzantium” were subsequently embraced among Orthodox Christian populations who tend to view the period as a golden age of Orthodox civilization. This expert panel\, moderated by George Demacopoulos\, Fordham University\, will explore these issues and debate the viability/suitability of revising the terminology for the field. \nPanelists\nElizabeth Bolman\, Case Western Reserve University\nAnthony Kaldelis\, Ohio State University\nLeonora Neville\, University of Wisconsin\nAlexander Tudorie\, St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary

SUMMARY:Jewish Studies and Black Studies in Conversation Series: Black and Jewish in Early America
DESCRIPTION:Even as recently as the early 2000s\, when a large range of scholarship was dedicated to Black-Jewish relations\, nearly all of these discussions were framed by a Black-Jewish binary\, with Jews on one side and Blacks on the other. Such a history\, however\, ignores not only the experiences of Jews of color in the U.S. today\, but also in the past. In this conversation between Fordham’s Westenley Alcenat and Laura Leibman\, professor\, Reed College\, the latter draws from her new book about a multiracial Jewish family in the early Atlantic world to illustrate how emphasizing the long history of Jews of color forces us to reshape and reconsider what we know about Jews in the Americas. \nAbout the Speakers\nLeibman is a professor of English and humanities at Reed College in Portland\, Oregon\, and author of The Art of the Jewish Family: A History of Women in Early New York in Five Objects (Bard Graduate Center\, 2020)\, which won three National Jewish Book Awards. Her earlier book\, Messianism\, Secrecy and Mysticism: A New Interpretation of Early American Jewish Life (2012)\, won a Jordan Schnitzer Book Award and a National Jewish Book Award. Her work focuses on religion and the daily lives of women and children in early America\, and uses everyday objects to help bring their stories back to life. She has been a visiting fellow at Oxford University\, a Fulbright scholar at the University of Utrecht and the University of Panama\, and the Leon Levy Foundation Professor of Jewish Material Culture at Bard Graduate Center. \nAlcenat is a 19th-century historian of the U.S and Caribbean who teaches at Fordham. His scholarship covers the shared histories of African Americans and Afro-Caribbean people in connection with the wider African diaspora in the Atlantic world. His manuscript in revision\, “Children of Africa\, Shall Be Haytians: Prince Saunders and the Foundations of Black Emigration to Haiti\, 1775-1865\,” is a study of the radicalism and ideologies of African American settlers who emigrated to Haiti in the antebellum era. Alcenat is a past recipient of the Richard Hofstadter Fellowship from Columbia University. He has been awarded fellowships from the Library Company of Philadelphia\, the Massachusetts Historical Society\, the Hoover Institute’s Library and Archives\, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation\, the Social Science Research Council-Mellon Mays Graduate Initiative Grants\, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History\, and the Schomburg Center for Research in African-American Culture. \nFrom 2015 to 2016\, he was a visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a visiting associate fellow at the Weatherhead Initiative on Global History at Harvard University. Before arriving to Princeton\, he was a residential postdoctoral research associate at the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Resistance\, and Abolition at Yale University’s MacMillan Center. Alcenat has written or provided commentary for The Jacobin Magazine\, Theroot.com\, and The Immanent Frame. He is also a contributing guest writer for the Black Perspectives Blog\, the official publication of the African American Intellectual History Society.

SUMMARY:The 17th Annual Rita Cassella Jones Lecture: “The Juncture of Worlds: Scholarship As a Way of Life\, and Living As a Scholarly Practice”
DESCRIPTION:Universities began in the Middle Ages as an extension of Catholic monasticism\, an intellectual world separate from the practice of everyday life. In many ways\, advanced scholarship retains something of its original monastic flavor. Academics are taught to keep a respectable distance from their subjects\, to aim for objectivity\, to cultivate detachment. But what are we missing when we constrain scholarship within these normative dimensions? \nIn dialogue with her most recent work on Catholic narratives of sickness and disability in early modern French North America\, Mary Corey Dunn\, Ph.D.\, University of St. Louis\, articulates a vision for a more humane kind of scholarship beyond the ivory tower: one that sits at the juncture of the personal and the professional\, lived experience and archival record\, scholarly practice and everyday life. \nThis will be an in-person presentation streamed live and recorded. In-person attendance is restricted to vaccinated Fordham community members; registration is required for all attendees.

SUMMARY:The Juncture of Worlds: Scholarship As a Way of Life and Living As a Scholarly Practice
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 17th annual Rita Cassella Jones Lecture on Women and Catholicism. The university began in the Middle Ages as an extension of Catholic monasticism\, an intellectual world separate and apart from the practice of everyday life. In many ways\, advanced scholarship retains something of its original monastic flavor. Academics are taught to keep a respectable distance from their subjects\, to aim for objectivity\, to cultivate detachment. But what are we missing when we constrain scholarship within these normative dimensions? What else might we learn—about the past\, about others\, about even ourselves—if we let down our guard and sidle up close to and alongside our subjects of study? \nIn dialogue with her most recent work on Catholic narratives of sickness and disability in early modern French North America\, Mary Corley Dunn\, Ph.D.\, University of St. Louis\, articulates a vision for a more humane kind of scholarship beyond the ivory tower—a kind of scholarship that sits at the juncture of the personal and the professional\, lived experience and archival record\, scholarly practice and everyday life. \nVisit the website to learn more about the Curran Center.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Yacine Ali-Haimoud\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor\, Department of Physics\, New York University\, will present\, “Hunting for Dark Matter in the Early Universe.” \nIt is now well-established that a large part of the matter in the universe is some substance that appears to be oblivious to any force but gravity. The nature of this “dark matter” remains a mystery—and is one of the most important questions in modern physics. Could it be a new particle\, as light as an electron\, or might it be made of black holes as massive as many suns? \nIn this talk\, Ali-Haimoud will start by giving a brief overview of modern cosmology\, focusing on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). He will then explain how cosmologists can be so sure about the presence and amount of dark matter\, and illustrate how precise measurements of the frequency spectrum and angular fluctuations of the CMB can help shed light on the nature and properties of dark matter. Ali-Haimoud will discuss CMB tests of feeble dark matter interactions with photons\, electrons\, and nuclei\, as well as the signatures of accreting primordial black holes as a potential dark matter candidate.

SUMMARY:A Bronx Tale: Building a Career in the Credit Markets\, Fireside Chat with Bob O’Shea\, Moderated by Michael Gatto
DESCRIPTION:Bob O’Shea was the quintessential Fordham student. A scrappy kid from New Jersey\, his grandmother worked as a maid at the Waldorf Astoria in midtown Manhattan\, his father was a New York City cop\, and he himself was accepted to Fordham on a track and field scholarship. O’Shea’s success on Wall Street is the epitome of the American dream. Michael Gatto\, an adjunct professor at Fordham\, will be interviewing O’Shea about his meteoric rise on Wall Street. O’Shea was offered partnership at Goldman Sachs at age 29\, making him the second-youngest partner in the firm’s history. Then\, as a second act\, O’Shea co-founded Silver Point Capital\, a credit and special situations hedge fund\, in 2002. He subsequently grew the firm from $120 million in assets under management to $15 billion. \nProfessor Gatto will ask O’Shea to speak about several topics\, including his career and the things that made him so successful\, his views of the current credit markets\, and his advice for students and young professionals on how to build a successful career in credit. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean\, Gabelli School of Business \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introductions: Father Joseph M. McShane\, S.J. \n12:10 p.m.: Discussion: Bob O’Shea and Michael Gatto \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli \nAbout the Speakers\nO’Shea is co-founder and chairman of Silver Point Capital\, a private investment firm\, founded in 2002 and focused on credit and special situation investing throughout credit cycles.

SUMMARY:2021 Anastasi Lecture: “(Predicting) Replication Outcomes”
DESCRIPTION:Professor Anna Dreber\, Stockholm School on Economics\, will deliver the 2021 Anastasi Lecture\, titled “(Predicting) Replication Outcomes.” \nhttps://fordham.zoom.us/j/88605480413?pwd=M3Y1R3I2TmNSZmViQnRqWTFsTDliQT09 \nWhich results can we “trust?” What share of results are replicated in different kinds of literature in the experimental social sciences? I will discuss several recent\, large replication projects\, mainly in psychology and economics\, in which my coauthors and I have redone experiments published in high-impact journals with new and larger samples to see whether the main result replicates. I will also discuss our studies on “wisdom-of-crowds” mechanisms\, such as prediction markets and forecasting surveys in which researchers attempt to predict these replication outcomes\, as well as new outcomes. While the replications are mainly on experiments\, there are reasons to believe that the problems are worse in nonexperimental work. I will also discuss ways to increase the reliability of scientific results.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Ted Seides on Capital Allocators: How the World's Elite Money Managers Lead and Invest
DESCRIPTION:The chief endowment officers at foundations\, family offices\, pension funds\, and sovereign wealth funds are the leaders in the world of finance. They marshal trillions of dollars on behalf of their institutions and influence how capital flows throughout the world. But these elite investors live outside of the public eye. Across the entire investment industry\, few participants understand how these holders of the keys to the kingdom allocate their time and their capital. What’s more\, there is no formal training for how to do their work. \nSo\, how do these influential leaders practice their craft? What skills do they require? What frameworks do they employ? How do they make investment decisions on everything from hiring managers to portfolio construction? \nJoin us for an afternoon webinar between author Ted Seides as he discusses his new book\, Capital Allocators\, with Jonathan Brolin\, founder and managing partner of Edenbrook Capital LLC\, on this opaque corner of the investment landscape. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Paul Johnson\, finance professor\, founding partner and investment manager\, Nicusa Capital Partners \n12:05 p.m.: Speaker Introduction: Jonathan Brolin\, founder and managing partner of Edenbrook Capital LLC \n12:08 p.m.: Discussion: Ted Seides \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Paul Johnson \nAbout the Speakers\nTed Seides created Capital Allocators LLC to explore best practices in the asset management industry. He launched the Capital Allocators podcast in 2017\, and the show reached 6 million downloads in June 2021. Brunswick Group named it the top institutional investing podcast\, and Barron’s\, Business Insider\, Forbes\, and ValueWalk each named it among the top investing podcasts. Alongside the podcast\, Seides advises both managers and allocators\, compounding his knowledge and relationships to help them make more money. In March\, he published his second book\, Capital Allocators: How the World’s Elite Money Managers Lead and Invest\, which distills key lessons from the first 150 episodes of the podcast. \nJonathan Brolin is the founder and managing partner of Edenbrook Capital LLC\, which he founded in 2011. Edenbrook takes a private equity approach to public markets\, principally through concentrated\, long-term investments in small- and mid-cap companies. This approach involves identifying equities that are undervalued on a fundamental basis\, performing intensive research on companies and industries\, understanding existing and potential levers for creating value\, and collaborating with management teams and/or other constituents to unlock shareholder value over a multiyear period. Brolin currently serves on the board of directors of Frequency Electronics Inc. and CXO Nexus Inc. \nBrolin has 25 years of experience in public and private equity investing and investment banking. In addition\, he serves as a fellow at the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis and taught Advanced Topics in Value Investing for seven years as an adjunct professor of finance at the Gabelli School of Business. He earned his M.B.A. from Columbia Business School\, where he was a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma honor society. Brolin earned his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania\, where he was a Benjamin Franklin scholar and general honors student. When he’s not searching for value\, he can be found watching\, coaching\, playing\, or thinking about baseball. \nCopies of Capital Allocators 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:Physics & Engineering Physics Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Javad Shabani\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor of physics at New York University\, will present “Towards Topological Superconductivity in Epitaxial Superconductor-Semiconductor Materials System.” \nA central goal in condensed matter physics is to understand and control the order parameter characterizing the collective state of electrons in quantum heterostructures. For example\, new physical behaviors can emerge that are absent in the isolated constituent materials. With regards to superconductivity\, this has opened a whole new area of investigation in the form of topological superconductivity. This type of superconductivity is expected to host exotic\, quasi-particle excitations\, including Majorana bound states that hold promise for fault-tolerant quantum computing. \nIn this talk\, we first discuss the important role of epitaxial superconductor-semiconductor hybrid systems as an enabling materials platform. We present unprecedented values of transparency and induced gap that could allow us to reach into previously unexplored parameter regimes. In wide Josephson junctions exposed to a magnetic field\, we observe a minimum of critical current accompanied with a phase jump in the superconducting phase. We discuss this observation as a signature of a transition between trivial and topological superconductivity. These findings\, in addition to new directions in approximating edge modes\, reveal a versatile two-dimensional platform to explore mesoscopic and topological superconductivity.

SUMMARY:Jewish Studies and Black Studies in Dialogue Series: Searching for Zion—Black Emigration to Haiti and the Elusive Quest for American Citizenship
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, as the enslavement of African Americans was expanding on the North American mainland\, many free African Americans left the United States and sailed for Haiti\, the first Black republic in the Atlantic world created in the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804)\, where slavery was abolished. This transnational migration from the center of the white Herrenvolk (Jacksonian) democracy to the so-called Black republic offered a chance to redefine the boundaries of citizenship and equality in the Atlantic order. \nDuring this lecture\, Westenley Alcenat\, Fordham University\, and Derek Penslar\, Harvard University\, examine how Black nationalists of this period operated between transnational politics and trans-Atlantic Black liberation movements to reimagine the act of exodus and that of return as a continuous search for redefining nationhood and citizenship. Black emigration to Haiti exposed comparative tensions and conflicting ideals of race and citizenship in the Age of Revolutions (1776-1848). The lecture spotlights the ideology of one of these emigrants in particular: Black abolitionist Prince Saunders\, who strategically deployed Black emigration as one of the earliest transatlantic efforts on behalf of African American citizenship before the Civil War era. \nAbout the Speakers\nAlcenat is a 19th-century historian of the U.S and Caribbean who teaches at Fordham. His scholarship covers the shared histories of African Americans and Afro-Caribbean people in connection with the wider African diaspora in the Atlantic world. His manuscript in revision\, “Children of Africa\, Shall Be Haytians: Prince Saunders and the Foundations of Black Emigration to Haiti\, 1775-1865\,” is a study of the radicalism and ideologies of African American settlers who emigrated to Haiti in the antebellum era. Alcenat is a past recipient of the Richard Hofstadter Fellowship from Columbia University. He has been awarded fellowships from the Library Company of Philadelphia\, the Massachusetts Historical Society\, the Hoover Institute’s Library and Archives\, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation\, the Social Science Research Council-Mellon Mays Graduate Initiative Grants\, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History\, and the Schomburg Center for Research in African-American Culture. \nFrom 2015 to 2016\, he was a visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a visiting associate fellow at the Weatherhead Initiative on Global History at Harvard University. Before arriving to Princeton\, he was a residential postdoctoral research associate at the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Resistance\, and Abolition at Yale University’s MacMillan Center. Alcenat has written or provided commentary for The Jacobin Magazine\, Theroot.com\, and The Immanent Frame. He is also a contributing guest writer for the Black Perspectives Blog\, the official publication of the African American Intellectual History Society. \nPenslar is the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History at Harvard University. He previously taught at Indiana University\, the University of Toronto\, and Oxford University\, where he was the inaugural holder of the Stanley Lewis Chair in Modern Israel Studies. Penslar takes a comparative and transnational approach to Jewish history\, which he studies within the contexts of modern capitalism\, nationalism\, and colonialism. Penslar’s books include Shylock’s Children: Economics and Modern Identity in Modern Europe (2001)\, Israel in History: The Jewish State in Comparative Perspective (2006)\, The Origins of the State of Israel: A Documentary History (with Eran Kaplan\, 2011)\, Jews and the Military: A History (2013)\, and Theodor Herzl: The Charismatic Leader (2020). He is currently completing a book titled Zionism: An Emotional State\, and is beginning work on a global history of the 1948 Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Penslar is president of the American Academy for Jewish Research\, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and an honorary fellow of St. Anne’s College\, Oxford.
