Quamrul Haider, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics, will present, "Can We Keep Our Planet Inhabitable Until 2050?" It is a very dicey time for our planet. In the last 100 years or so, because of our unrestrained use of fossil fuels and systematic over-exploitation of natural resources, we have pushed
Informatics has quietly become a tool that underpins nearly every aspect of our lives. In the realm of energy markets, it helps answer questions ranging from how best to frack a well to how we keep our lights (and heat) on. And in the film industry, which is recovering from a true "black swan" event
Social work interns often have their first client interactions in the field. Integrating their coursework into these clinical interactions can be challenging. Having the emotional and technical support of their field supervisors can turn those challenges into accomplishments. In this seminar, we will discuss the benefits of integrating role-play simulations in supervision to build clinical
As society continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and other world events, it is beneficial to take a closer look at the new challenges that women and girls face during these times, and how interventions have been altered to fit the present moment. Join us for a discussion during which a panel of experts will
Stephen Holler, Ph.D., professor and chair in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics, will present “Characterization and Classification of Aerosol Particles.” Light scattering is a useful tool for characterizing airborne particulate matter. For spherical particles, the characterization and classification are trivial, but this is not so for nonspherical particles. The vast majority of airborne
Are purpose and profit mutually exclusive, or are they complementary? What are the technological, societal, and market forces that reshape this relationship, and what can we—as entrepreneurs, managers, consumers, employees, and investors—do to reshape it? Backed by cutting-edge research, Purpose and Profit provides answers to these fundamental questions, which are increasingly defining the competitiveness of

Completion of this class will result in the receipt of three (3) continuing education hours. Rebecca Cammy will introduce participants to the novel meaning-centered supervision (MCS) curriculum (an adaptation of meaning-centered psychotherapy) which guides healthcare social workers in connecting a sense of meaning and purpose in work as they develop personal and professional identities.

In the early decades of the 20th century, major figures of modern German-Jewish thought converged upon Daoism as a source of capital-critical alternatives to state power. Ideas from China had been circulating in German-speaking lands since the 18th century of Leibniz and Kant, largely facilitated by German and Dutch Jesuit and colonial networks. By the
Our current healthcare system is fragmented and in need of transformation. Care is inequitably delivered and too often incongruent with patient preferences. Advance care planning conversations lay the foundation for person-centered, family-focused, culturally congruent, goal-concordant quality care. Although ideally occurring over a lifetime, advance care planning conversations are an essential element of primary palliative care
Join us for a book launch and public lecture, co-sponsored with the Center for Jewish History. Over the last 50 years, Jewish-Christian dialogue has made enormous strides. We now read each other’s scriptures and openly discuss differences, as well as contiguities. Yet, many such encounters have become somewhat rote and predictable. Holy Envy: Writing in
While most social workers are well aware of the importance of self-care, this knowledge doesn’t necessarily translate into robust self-care practices. Today’s social workers are more in need than ever of accessible methods for contending with the threats posed by burnout. This class draws on a variety of Ayurvedic practices that social workers can incorporate

When outsiders think of religion in China, they tend to focus on persecution; for example, Muslims in Xinjiang or Christians in many big Chinese cities. While that is true for some faiths, China is in the midst of a religious boom, one that the government is trying to use to further its grip on power.
Fordham University and the Under-Told Stories Project of the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, in partnership with the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, invite you to a special observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Recent surveys have shown steadily diminishing public awareness of the Holocaust amid a rise in disinformation and revisionism.
Trauma-informed care is more than just the newest catchphrase: It’s a paradigmatic shift away from delineating the traumas themselves and aids the clinician in focusing on a person having traumatic responses. In health care, where long-term trauma therapy is not often the focus of work, it's necessary to help clinicians better understand how trauma-informed care
Join us for a special event featuring Paul Johnson and Paul Sonkin on their new book, The Enduring Value of Roger Murray (Columbia Business School Press). The event will feature a fireside chat-style conversation between the book authors, noted investor and hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman (joining virtually), and Fordham's own Mario Gabelli, GABELLI '65,
We learned from Thomas Merton's private journals—published 25 years after his death—of an affair Merton had in the summer of 1966 with a nurse ("M") who cared for him after a medical procedure. If we take seriously Merton's status and contributions as a Catholic thinker, then Merton's description of his relationship with "M" needs to
