SUMMARY:Why Is Nonprofit Leadership So White?
DESCRIPTION:An enduring reality in New York City’s nonprofit human services sector is that the top executive positions at the majority of human services organizations are held by people who identify as white. However\, in most cases\, these agencies predominantly serve people and communities of color. \nThe visibility of leaders of color within nonprofit organizations is significant to those organizations’ client communities and staff members\, as well as aspiring social work leaders. And while people of color have steadily risen to positions of responsibility within these organizations\, CEO\, president\, and executive director titles seem to elude black\, indigenous\, and people of color (BIPOC) professionals. \nIn this panel discussion\, a diverse group of nonprofit leaders will explore the factors impacting who holds these positions and identify ways in which agencies must adapt in order to address racial disparities in leadership. Additionally\, the discussion will provide the information and next steps needed by schools of social work to inform educational curriculum\, and will prepare students to advocate and organize around diversity and representation in nonprofit leadership. \nPanelists \nCristina Contreras\, M.S.W.\, M.P.A.\, executive director\, NYC Health + Hospitals/North Central Bronx \nJess Dannhauser\, M.S.W.\, president and CEO\, Graham Windham \nDamyn Kelly\, J.D.\, Ph.D.\, president and CEO\, Lutheran Social Services of NY \nMaria Lizardo\, L.M.S.W.\, executive director\, Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation \nCurrent Fordham Graduate School of Social Service M.S.W. students Shadequa Hampton and Jolisa Beavers will moderate.

SUMMARY:Physics & Engineering Physics
DESCRIPTION:Juin Zhou\, FCRH ’16\, Stony Brook University\, will present “Effective Debye relaxation models for binary solutions of polar liquids in the terahertz frequencies.” \nThere are many effective media models that accurately describe the dielectric properties of mixtures. However\, these models assume that the components are non-interacting. This assumption is not valid for solutions of polar liquids\, resulting in significant deviations between the measured and theoretically predicted complex index of refraction of the mixtures. We present three effective media theories by expanding the well-known Debye relaxation model for solutions of polar liquids in the terahertz (THz) regime. The new effective media models proposed in this paper predict the individual relaxation Debye parameters based on the cooperative motion dynamics and self-associative properties of each mixture\, and therefore explain the deviation of the dielectric functions of the solutions from the traditional effective media models. These models are verified through reflection measurements of four alcohol-water solutions acquired through THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Compared to the current mixed media models\, the new effective Debye theorem predicts the dielectric properties of polar solutions more accurately\, and has the potential to explain inter-species mixing schemes and interactions.

SUMMARY:Centennial Speaker Series: Kevin R. Mirabile on Exotic Alternative Investments
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Kevin R. Mirabile\, author of Exotic Alternative Investments: Standalone Characteristics\, Unique Risks and Portfolio Effects (Anthem Press\, 2021). In the book\, Mirabile evaluates exotic alternative investment opportunities\, such as life settlements\, litigation funding\, farmlands\, royalties\, weather derivatives\, collectibles\, and other unique asset classes\, providing an in-depth analysis of the returns\, risks\, opportunities\, and portfolio effects for anyone who wants to expand their investment horizons. \nThis book—written for individual investors\, financial advisors\, and academics who desire knowledge about investment products beyond just stocks and bonds or vanilla hedge funds\, private equity\, and real estate investments—provides a critical link to industry data and original research that supports the case for adding exotic alternative investments to traditional portfolios. \nAn excellent tool for practitioners wishing to understand the rationale and impact of allocating capital to these exotic and less-understood investment opportunities\, the book includes an analysis of returns and risk from a wide range of direct investments in individual exotic asset classes\, as well as from investing in public shares and exchange-traded funds. It also includes a section on how these exotic investments performed relative to both traditional and alternative investments\, such as hedge funds\, both before and after the spring 2020 market crash. \nDigital copies of Exotic Alternative Investments will be raffled off to attendees and have been donated by Alex Wright\, GABELLI ’00. \nAgenda\n12 p.m.: Welcome Remarks and Speaker Introduction: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n12:08 p.m.: Fireside Chat: Kevin R. Mirabile\, moderated by Dean Rapaccioli and Professor Sris Chatterjee \n12:45 p.m.: Audience Q&A \n1 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Dean Rapaccioli \nAbout the Speaker\nMirabile is a clinical associate professor of finance at Fordham University. He teaches courses on the principles of finance\, investment analysis\, derivatives\, and alternative investing. Prior to becoming an academic\, he held several senior executive positions at Morgan Stanley\, Barclays Capital\, and Larch Lane Advisors in banking\, sales and trading\, and asset management. His responsibilities included securities operations and financing\, electronic trading\, derivatives\, and hedge fund investing. Mirabile received his B.S. in accounting from S.U.N.Y Albany in 1983\, an M.S. in banking and finance from Boston University in 2008\, and Ph.D. in finance and economics from PACE University in 2013. He is an author of several articles and books on alternative investments and hedge funds.

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:Multiple-Identity Politics: The Passing Narratives of Dahn Ben-Amotz
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Salo Baron New Voices in Jewish Studies Award Lecture in partnership with Columbia University’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies. The lecture will feature Roy Holler\, an assistant professor of Israel Studies in the Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Florida\, and Gibel Mevorach\, a professor of anthropology and American studies at Grinnell College. \nIn 1938\, Mussia Thilimzogger’s parents put their 13-year-old son on a boat from Poland to Palestine. Three years later\, they perished in the Holocaust. Alone\, rejected\, and failing to fit in\, the young Jewish Polish immigrant adopted a new biography\, changed his birthplace from Rivne to Tel-Aviv\, and Hebracized his foreign-sounding name into Dahn Ben-Amotz (1924-1989). Ben-Amotz was one of many immigrants forced to change their identities and conform to the Zionist vision of the Hebrew: heroic and rough idealist\, with a shared hatred of the Jewish diaspora. With his new persona\, Ben-Amotz became a cultural icon for generations. But this author who shaped Israeli culture was haunted by little Mussia to his very last day\, and the central trauma in his 1968 autobiographical novel\, Lizkor veliskoakh (To Remember\, to Forget)\, was not the Holocaust\, but his own act of passing. \nFor the purposes of this talk\, passing describes the turning away from the Jewish past to belong to a new Hebrew identity in Israel. Focusing on the integrationist demands of the Zionist narrative and the transformations of Jewish identities\, this talk will introduce the concept of passing to Ben-Amotz’s novel\, arguing that the resettlement of the Jewish diaspora in Palestine did more than move physical bodies in and out of the land: It also called for the erasure and restructuring of one’s identity in an effort to create a new Israeli culture and an improved Jewish race. Ben-Amotz’s fiction is obsessed with lost identities\, showing that when a Jew wished to pass as a Hebrew\, all prior ethnicities\, memories\, languages\, and cultural heritage had to be erased. \nAbout the Speakers \nHoller received his M.A. and Ph.D. in comparative literature from Indiana University\, Bloomington\, and his B.A. in English from the City University of New York. His current book project\, Passing and the Politics of Identity in Israeli and African American Literatures\, explores the phenomenon of passing in a comparative context. A part of a chapter from this project is forthcoming in Prooftexts: A Journal of Jewish Literary History. \nGibel Mevorach received her B.A. and M.A. in African Studies from Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. She is the author of Black\, Jewish and Interracial: It’s Not the Color of Your Skin but the Race of Your Kin\, and Other Myths of Identity (1997)\, and her articles\, review essays\, and position papers have appeared in journals including American Anthropologist\, American Ethnologist\, Biography\, Developing World Bioethics\, Identities\, Cultural Studies\, Research in African Literatures\, נוגה (Noga: Israeli Feminist Journal)\, עתון אחר (Iton Aher)\, and The Jerusalem Post (Israel).

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.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Crown and the Courts: Separation of Powers in the Early Jewish Imagination
DESCRIPTION:A scholar of law and religion uncovers a surprising origin story behind the idea of the separation of powers.\nThe separation of powers is a bedrock of modern constitutionalism\, but striking antecedents were developed centuries earlier\, by Jewish scholars and rabbis of antiquity. Attending carefully to their seminal works and the historical milieu\, David Flatto shows how a foundation of democratic rule was contemplated and justified long before liberal democracy was born. \nWe invite you for a conversation with David C. Flatto\, professor of law and of Jewish philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, and a scholar of Jewish law and comparative constitutional law and jurisprudence; Ethan J. Leib\, John D. Calamari Distinguished Professor of Law at Fordham Law School; Michael A. Helfand\, professor of law and vice dean for faculty and research at Pepperdine Caruso School of Law; and Elana Stein Hain\, director of faculty and a senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America. \nComplimentary CLE available; CLE credit for the program is pending (or approved) in accordance with the requirements of the New York state and New Jersey CLE Boards for a maximum of 1.0 transitional and non-transitional professional practice credits.

SUMMARY:Jews and Crime in Medieval Europe
DESCRIPTION:Jews and crime in medieval Europe is a topic laced by prejudice on one hand and apologetics on the other. Beginning in the Middle Ages\, Jews were often portrayed as criminals driven by greed. While these accusations were often unfounded\, at times criminal accusations against Jews were not altogether baseless. Drawing on a variety of legal\, liturgical\, literary\, and archival sources\, Ephraim Shoham-Steiner examines the reasons for the involvement in crime\, the social profile of Jews who performed crimes\, and the ways and mechanisms employed by the legal and communal body to deal with Jewish criminals and with crimes committed by Jews. A society’s attitude toward individuals identified as criminals—by others or themselves—can serve as a window into that society’s mores and provide insight into how transgressors understood themselves and society’s attitudes toward them. \nThis talk will also feature Nicholas Paul\, an associate professor of history at Fordham University\, and Magda Teter\, history professor and the Shvilder Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham. \nAbout the Speakers \nShoham-Steiner is a professor of medieval Jewish history at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Be’ersheva Israel\, where he is the director of the Center for the Study of Conversion and Inter-Religious Encounters (CSOC). 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 the editor of Intricate Interfaith Networks in the Middle Ages: Quotidian Jewish-Christian Contacts. \nPaul is the author of To Follow in Their Footsteps: The Crusades and Family Memory in the High Middle Ages (Ithaca: Cornell University Press\, 2012)\, and the co-editor of numerous volumes\, including Remembering the Crusades: Myth\, Image\, and Identity (2012)\, The French of Outremer: Communities and Communications in the Crusading Mediterranean (2018)\, Whose Middle Ages? Teachable Moments for an Ill-Used Past (2019). He is currently working on a project that concerns the place of the Crusades within aristocratic performance culture\, which was supported by a Fulbright-University of Birmingham Award in 2019-2020. \nTeter is the author of Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland (2005)\, Sinners on Trial (2011)\, and Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic Myth (2020). Her work has been supported by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, YIVO Institute\, and the Yad Ha-Nadiv Foundation. This year she is the NEH Senior Scholar at the Center for Jewish History in New York City. \nThis event is a joint initiative with the New York Public Library and is a part of the Fordham-NYPL Joint Research Fellowship Program in Jewish Studies.

Explore how we’re forging competitive differentiation and inspiring positive\, global change through business leadership. \nPlease note this event will take place at 6 pm PST and 9 pm EST. \nAgenda\n6 p.m.: Welcome Remarks: Donna Rapaccioli\, dean of the Gabelli School of Business \n6:15 p.m.: Presentation: Responsible Business Coalition\, Dean Rapaccioli \n6:20 p.m.: Fireside Chat: Cara Smyth\, fellow and founder\, RBC; and Frank Zambrelli\, executive director\, RBC \n6:35 p.m.: Presentation: Noor Kaur\, GABELLI\, ’21 \n6:40 p.m.: Audience Q&A: Dean Rapaccioli and Lerzan Aksoy\, associate dean of the Gabelli School \n6:50 p.m.: Networking and Breakout Rooms \n7:05 p.m.: Closing Remarks: Dean Rapaccioli \nAbout the Speakers\nSmyth is a Gabelli fellow and the founder of the Responsible Business Coalition. She also serves as the chair of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors: Fashion Makes Change. Smyth is the global managing director at Accenture for Resilient Responsible Retail/Sustainability. She joined Fordham University and Accenture from her post as the founding director of the Fair Fashion Center and vice president of Glasgow Caledonian New York College (GCNYC). As global lead of Accenture’s Resilient Responsible Retail practice\, Smyth is applying a data-driven environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) lens to build new opportunities that capitalize on the demand for end-to-end responsible business transformation—reducing impact\, optimizing supply chains\, leveraging consumer interest\, utilizing smart technology\, and innovating Accenture’s services in this emerging sector. As COVID-19 exposed business and process vulnerabilities to investors and consumers\, the materiality of ESG is driving it to be the new management approach to future-proof business. \nThe Fair Fashion Center was formed to incubate scalable business solutions that address the social and environmental impacts of fashion and became home to the industry’s only CEO coalition. Focused on transforming business through collective action\, Smyth built a new protocol that leverages the intersection of profitability and sustainability\, helping brands and retailers restructure their processes while identifying operating efficiencies and innovations that turn complex global issues into scalable industry opportunities. Working privately and collectively with 41 CEOs\, the group represented 250 brands and nearly 15% of the global industry. \nNow housed within Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors\, FMC is a triple-impact solution that catalyzes collective action\, builds resilient communities\, and reverses the climate crisis. Recognizing we all have a role to play\, FMC aligns industry\, nonprofits\, investors\, and customers in the transition to a sustainable world. A former global fashion industry veteran\, Smyth held senior executive positions at Jil Sander\, Burberry\, and other venerable companies. In her role bridging the industry\, academia\, and a sustainable future\, she served as a board member for Glasgow Caledonian University and Sing for Hope\, is an RSA fellow\, a Tribeca Disrupter\, and on the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Global Sector Advisory Council. She has delivered keynote presentations at conferences including Textile Exchange\, Bluesign\, Vogue/Condé Nast Greece\, Alcantara/Venice International University Climate HOW\, and Bloomberg Vanity Fair Climate Exchange. \nZambrelli is executive director of the newly formed Responsible Business Coalition (RBC) at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business\, supporting the cross-sector collaboration of industry and education to reduce environmental and social impacts—driving toward a future that considers people\, planet and profit. A design and branding chief executive\, educator\, and sustainability expert\, his extensive professional experience spans fashion\, retail\, and the environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) implications therein. After more than a decade working for world-class brands\, he began the award-winning studio Design Quadrant and\, more recently\, launched the NYC-based\, sustainable luxury brand 1 Atelier. His extension into academia nearly a decade ago was inspired by a desire to better knit the changing demands of industry to curricula. \nHis broad-spectrum experience has followed the pulse of change in the fashion industry\, where his work has been instrumental in the success of companies for more than 15 years\, at a roster including Chanel\, Calvin Klein\, Coach\, and many others. He’s a culture creator—whether shaping start-ups for long-term growth or short-term sale—or leveraging his experience to redirect global brands toward more sustainable and regenerative futures. In his latest venture\, Zambrelli joins his former colleagues from the Fair Fashion Center in the formation of an ESG retail practice within Accenture\, the multinational professional services company\, shaping strategy\, digital technology\, and operations through the lens of sustainability and a more responsible future. \nA regular face in digital\, broadcast\, and print media\, and on panels discussing responsible business and the acceleration of ESG\, his latest work focuses on guiding industries in disruption toward a more data-driven\, equitable\, and regenerative future. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from FIT\, and a Master of Science degree from Glasgow Caledonian.

SUMMARY:Race Issues and Education in America
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic\, the murder of George Floyd\, and the current politically charged climate have shed light on the impact of systemic racism in our society’s structures. Massive uprisings reveal the urgency for centering racial equity in America’s civic life. We want to invite you to the first webinar of the series Racial Equity and Interfaith Cooperation\, which will discuss policies around education\, health care\, and more. \nDuring the civil rights era\, faith-led demonstrations and interfaith leaders came together to advocate against racial segregation and oppression. Today\, access to technology\, textbooks\, and other essential materials needed for teaching and learning still seems to be a constant challenge for most minority families and communities. The Institute on Religion\, Law and Lawyer’s Work at Fordham Law School\, with the support of Interfaith Youth Core\, invite you to a webinar event themed on race issues and education in America.

SUMMARY:Maurice Sendak in Queer Jewish Context
DESCRIPTION:The late Jewish American artist Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) changed the face of children’s literature and paved the way for the reconsiderations of monstrosity and otherness that pervade contemporary media\, from Sesame Street to Stranger Things. His emotionally isolated\, unruly\, and ethnically particular protagonists use fantasy to resist social coercion and self-erasure. In Wild Visionary: Maurice Sendak in Queer Jewish Context (Stanford University Press\, 2020)\, Golan Moskowitz investigates the evolution of Sendak’s artistic vision and its appeal for American\, Jewish\, and queer audiences. \nIn the present talk\, Moskowitz and Naomi Seidman will offer a pointed discussion of Wild Visionary\, illuminating how Sendak’s multiple perspectives as a gay\, Holocaust-conscious\, American-born son of Yiddish-speaking Polish immigrants informed his life and work. It will also explore how the artist’s work interacted dynamically with his cultural surroundings\, offering insights into experiences of marginality and emotional resilience that remain relevant and visionary to this day. \nAbout the Speakers \nMoskowitz is an assistant professor of Jewish studies and the Catherine and Henry J. Gaisman Faculty Fellow at Tulane University\, where he teaches courses on Jewish gender and sexuality\, Holocaust studies\, and Jewish comics and graphic novels. He is the author of several publications on intergenerational memory in post-Holocaust family narratives. Moskowitz’s work has been supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation\, the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute\, and the Tauber Institute for the Study of European Jewry. \nNaomi Seidman is the Chancellor Jackman Professor of the Arts in the Department for the Study of Religion and the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies at the University of Toronto\, and a 2016 Guggenheim fellow. Her publications include Faithful Renderings: Jewish—Christian Difference and the Politics of Difference (Chicago\, 2006)\, The Marriage Plot\, Or\, How Jews Fell in Love with Love\, and with Literature (Stanford\, 2016)\, and Sarah Schenirer and the Bais Yaakov Movement: A Revolution in the Name of Tradition (Littman\, 2019)\, which won a National Jewish Book Award in women’s studies. She is presently working on a study of Freud in Hebrew and Yiddish translation.

DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to present the 13th episode of its webinar series highlighting the scholarly insights and academic careers of female scholars whose research and writing explore some facet of the history\, thought\, or culture of Orthodox Christianity. The broadcast will be livestreamed and open to all who have pre-registered. The event will include some time for live audience questions. For those who miss the live event\, the Center will archive each episode on its website and YouTube channel. \nThis episode features an interview with Tamara Grdzelidze\, Ph.D. Grdzelidze was born into a family of the Soviet intelligentsia (the Soviet equivalent of the middle class)\, practicing Christians who regularly attended church. She entered university with a plan to study classics but soon took an interest in Old Georgian literature. At 25\, she defended a thesis on symbolism in Georgian hagiography. Subsequently\, she held a research position at the Institute of Georgian Literature while teaching Georgian language and literature at school. \nAfter the fall of the Iron Curtain and the rise of the Georgian national movement\, she decided to leave Georgia to assist with a course on Georgian culture at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. After meeting Metropolitan Kallistos Ware at St. Vladimir’s Seminary\, she decided to pursue further study at Oxford\, where Kallistos supervised her thesis on St. Maximus the Confessor. Following a brief return to Georgia\, she applied for a job at the World Council of Churches and worked as an Orthodox theologian\, the first ex-Soviet staff member\, as well as the first Georgian and first orthodox woman in the Secretariat of the Faith and Order Commission. After 13 years working in Geneva\, she was appointed a diplomat of Georgia to the Holy See. \nNow back in Georgia\, she works at the Ilia State University teaching courses on Christian unity\, religion and politics\, and Christian civilization. She has written on various issues in orthodox theology and the history of the Orthodox Church of Georgia. Her books include One\, Holy\, Catholic and Apostolic: Ecumenical Reflections on the Church and\, as co-editor\, Witness through Troubled Times: A History of the Orthodox Church of Georgia\, 1811 to the Present.
