SUMMARY:Orthodox Christianity and Islam
DESCRIPTION:Orthodox Christianity and Islam have a long history of interaction that spans nearly 14 centuries. This webinar will begin a conversation on how to understand the dynamics of this complex relationship. Orthodox Christians and Muslims not only share cultural and historical space\, but also common challenges in the present day as they navigate a world created by Western hegemony. Our panel will explore key issues in the Orthodox Christian and Muslim experience of modernity and will shed light on these experiences by putting into productive conversation the insights of contemporary Islamic studies and the insights of the comparative study of Orthodox Christianity and Islam.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Dove Flyer (Farewell Baghdad)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of The Dove Flyer (Farewell Baghdad)\, followed by a discussion between language instructors Mohamed A. Alsiadi and Hagit Galor Halperin\, and Ahuva Keren. They will discuss the making of the film\, the heritage of Iraqi Jewry\, and the memories that Iraqi Jews brought with them from Iraq to Israel and beyond. \nThe Dove Flyer (Farewell Baghdad) is an Israeli film\, written and directed by Nissim Dayan\, based on a novel by Iraqi-born Jewish author Eli Amir. Ahuva Keren translated the film into the Iraqi dialect of Judeo-Arabic\, which is\, like other Judeo languages (besides Yiddish)\, a dying language\, with the passing of those Jews who moved out of Iraq. To date\, The Dove Flyer is still the first and only Judeo-Arabic-language film. \nThrough the eyes of a 16-year-old Jewish boy\, we follow the last days of the Baghdadi Jewish community of the early 1950s on the eve of the immigration of almost all of that community to Israel during Operation Ezra and Nehemiah. It is set in a period in which the kingdom of Iraq was torn between nationalism and community and was struggling to overcome its defeat in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The Jewish community in Baghdad\, considered the oldest diaspora outside of Israel\, amounted at the time to about a quarter of the population of Baghdad. Its members grappled with their historical and cultural connection to Iraq\, the growing support of their young ones for the communist movement\, and their solidarity with the new State of Israel and Zionism. \nAbout the Speakers \nKeren is a well-respected and veteran TV and film actress in Israel. She graduated from the theater art program at Tel Aviv University and at the Nissan Nativ Acting Studio. She is also a graduate of the personal training course at Tel Aviv University. Since 1973\, Keren has held numerous roles in theaters in Israel\, working with Israeli and foreign directors in Israel’s leading theaters: Habima\, The Cameri\, Beit Lessin\, the Khan\, and Beer Sheva. In 2014\, Keren initiated the production of The Dove Flyer. She translated the script into the Iraqi language\, served as a dialogue coach for the actors who did not speak the language\, and played the role of Naimah. Currently\, in addition to her acting\, Keren teaches acting\, preparing students to be in front of the camera\, coaching\, and working with artists and actors. \nAlsiadi received his B.A. from the Damascus Music Conservatory\, where he specialized in oud performance and conducting orchestras. A regular at international festivals as a soloist and chamber musician\, Alsiadi has performed at the Royal Conservatory in Toronto\, the national auditorium in Madrid\, the historic Nidaros Cathedral in Norway\, GUST University in Kuwait\, and Merkin Hall in New York City. Other highlights include performances with the Malek Jandali Trio at the Vienna Konserthaus\, Carnegie Hall\, the Sydney Opera House\, and the Skoll World Forum. He is also founder of the Aleppo Ensemble\, with whom he has led several concert series and festivals on Arabic music\, including the Richmond Folk Festival. As a music researcher and historian\, he has developed an extensive and exceptionally varied catalog of Arabic music recordings\, which are archived at Rutgers University. He is an expert on song forms central to Middle Eastern music\, namely the Arabic-sung poetry called qasida\, and the Aleppian Wasla\, a song form that is one of the foundations of Syrian songs. \nAlsiadi was born and raised in Aleppo\, Syria\, and he migrated to New York City in 1996\, becoming a professor of Arabic language\, literature\, and culture. He is currently the lead professor and director of the Arabic studies program at Fordham University\, and he is the chair of the U.S.-MidEast program at the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University. He is regularly interviewed on TV and radio for a wide range of media sources\, including PBS\, HuffPost LIVE\, Al Jazeera\, ABC\, CBS\, and Great Decisions in Foreign Policy. \nHalperin holds a master’s degree in Jewish art and visual culture from JTS\, as well as a bachelor’s degree in restoration from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She holds an art teaching certificate from Ha’Midrashah Le’Amanut\, an Israeli college for art education. Currently\, Halperin teaches Hebrew at Fordham University\, Dwight International High School\, and JTS’s Ivry Prozdor program. Halperin has been leading tours in Hebrew at museums around New York\, mainly for Ha-Ulpan students\, since 2006. Halperin’s parents immigrated to Israel from Iraq before she was born.

SUMMARY:GSS Continuing Education: Moral Distress: What It Is and How to Respond
DESCRIPTION:The concept of moral distress refers to a clinical situation in which the patient is perceived to be “suffering” and the clinician knows what they feel to be the best course of action\, but that course conflicts with what is best for the organization\, other providers\, other patients\, the family\, or society as a whole. Moral distress can occur when the professional feels a sense of heightened moral responsibility and also a perception of powerlessness. \nWhile moral distress was first recognized among nurses\, we now know that moral distress affects physicians\, pharmacists\, social workers\, chaplains\, psychologists\, and other health care providers. This class covers the experience of moral distress\, its impact on clinicians of multiple disciplines\, and the specific impact of moral distress among palliative care teams. Strategies for recognizing and dealing with the experience of moral distress on individuals\, teams\, and within health systems will be considered. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three (3) continuing education hours.

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.

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:GSS Continuing Education: Understanding Your Own Death Anxiety for the Death-Adjacent Clinician
DESCRIPTION:Death anxiety is an evolutionary concept relating to the very core of what it means to be human. While death anxiety is often implicit and below conscious awareness\, some theorists and researchers propose it actually underlies much of our motivation in life. A better understanding of the death anxiety implicit within us helps us better tolerate and hold space for the often-unspoken death anxiety of our patients and clients. This workshop seeks to help participants better understand what death anxiety is\, how it manifests\, and how it feels within themselves. The workshop is highly experiential and evocative and requires focused\, active participation and reflection.

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.

SUMMARY:The Economy of Communion As Stakeholder Capitalism: Exploring Religion’s Evolving Influence on Business—Session 1
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the Business Roundtable redefined the purpose of a corporation to promote “an economy that serves all Americans.” In 2020\, the New York Times endorsed this redefinition of corporate purpose fifty years after Milton Friedman’s editorial and amid protests for recognizing and including all. This year the Fordham University School of Law’s Institute on Religion\, Law\, and Lawyer’s Work and Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding invite you to explore how business can accomplish these humanistic goals. The Economy of Communion (EoC) is an economic model created within the Catholic tradition positing that business exists for the benefit of all people who make up a workplace\, workforce\, and marketplace. Religion has long influenced the norms and practices in which business is conducted\, iconically with the Weberian “work ethic” informing capitalism. This conference will explore the continuing evolution of its relationship with business from a religiously diverse lens over four one-hour sessions each Tuesday in October. There will also be two Thursday sessions for reflection and networking. \nSession I: The Business Purpose Question As the Question of Purpose \nSpeakers \n\nJeffrey D. Sachs is a university professor and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He is president of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network and chair of the Lancet COVID-19 Commission.\nLuigino Bruni is an economics professor at Lumsa University in Rome. He is a consultant to the Dicastery for Laity\, Family\, and Life; president of the School of Civil Economy (SEC); editor-in-chief of International Review of Economics (IREC); and director of the Civil Economy Sciences at Lumsa in Rome doctoral program.

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:The Russia Question Hosts Nadieszda Kizenko for a Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:The Russia Question is a book talk series devoted to all things Russia\, hosted by Michael Ossorgin\, professor and 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 Nadieszda Kizenko to discuss her brilliant book\, Good for the Souls: A History of Confession in the Russian Empire (June 2021). \nFrom the moment that Tsars\, as well as hierarchs\, realized that having their subjects go to confession could make them better citizens as well as better Christians\, the sacrament of penance in the Russian empire became a political tool\, a devotional exercise\, a means of education\, and a literary genre. It defined who was Orthodox\, and who was “other.” First encouraging Russian subjects to participate in confession to improve them and to integrate them into a reforming Church and state\, authorities then turned to confession to integrate converts of other nationalities. But the sacrament was not only something that state and religious authorities sought to impose on an unwilling populace. Confession could provide an opportunity for carefully crafted complaints. What state and church authorities initially imagined as a way of controlling an unruly population could be used by the same population as a way of telling their own story—or simply getting time off to attend to their inner lives. \nGood for the Souls brings Russia into the rich scholarly and popular literature on confession\, penance\, discipline\, and gender in the modern world\, and in doing so opens a key window into church\, state\, and society. It draws on state laws\, Synodal decrees\, archives\, manuscript repositories\, clerical guides\, sermons\, saints’ lives\, works of literature\, and visual depictions of the sacrament in those books and on church iconostases. Russia\, Ukraine\, and Orthodox Christianity emerge both as part of the European\, transatlantic religious continuum and\, in crucial ways\, distinct from it. \nAbout the Speakers\nNadieszda Kizenko is a history professor and director of religious studies at the University at Albany. She is the author of the prize-winning book A Prodigal Saint: Father John of Kronstadt and the Russian People\, numerous articles on Orthodox Christianity including “The Feminization of Patriarchy? Women in Contemporary Russian Orthodoxy” (winner of Best Article\, Association for the Study of Eastern Christianity)\, and several translations. \nMichael Ossorgin\, who earned a Ph.D. in Slavic languages and literature from Columbia University\, teaches Russian and comparative literature\, art\, theology\, and language courses at Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus. He has published articles on Dostoevsky’s The Idiot and Notes From the Dead House. He is currently writing a book on the role of vision in Dostoevsky’s poetics. Ossorgin thanks the Orthodox Christian Studies Center for its support not only of The Russia Question\, but also for grants to design and teach OCSC-credited courses\, including\, The Apocalypse: Russian and American Visions\, The Russian Icon in Dialogue with the Arts\, and the first of three summer courses in The Great Russian Minds Series on Mikhail Bakhtin. Ossorgin is the director of Fordham University’s Russian program.

SUMMARY:Things Get Broken: A Jesuit Reflects on Leonard Bernstein’s MASS 50 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:On September 8\, 1971\, the premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s MASS inaugurated the Kennedy Center in Washington\, D.C. Commissioned by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in memory of her late husband\, the work bore the weight of a decade of sorrows: the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy\, his brother Robert\, and Martin Luther King Jr.; racial unrest over civil rights; ongoing losses in the Vietnam War; the recent Kent State shootings; and much more. \nIn this lecture\, Stephen Schloesser\, SJ\, will explore not only Bernstein’s masterpiece—and its incorporation of Jewish and Catholic liturgical elements—but also its resonance for our present moment as we try to emerge from a lethal pandemic in the face of grave threats to our civic order. \nThis event inaugurates the Ignatian year at Fordham\, a global observance by the Society of Jesus to commemorate the moment 500 years ago when a cannonball shattered the leg of Ignatius of Loyola. The wound put an end to his youthful dreams of personal glory but started Ignatius on a journey of conversion. \nLoss was not the last word for Loyola—as it was not for Bernstein\, whose music provides both lament and hope after a broken year. \nSchloesser\, Professor of History at Loyola University Chicago\, specializes in modern European intellectual and cultural life and writes extensively on music\, religion\, mysticism\, Jesuits\, and Catholic thought and culture. \nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the audience.

SUMMARY:“Unearthing Buried Narratives: Reconstructing the Experiences of Enslaved People Through Jesuit Records”
DESCRIPTION:Recalling the Catholic enslaved experience reveals new patterns about enslavement within the Catholic Church and the instrumental ways enslaved people formed community\, resisted their enslavement\, and shaped their faith. Prize-winning scholar Kelly L. Schmidt\, Ph.D.\, invites the audience to engage with records about enslaved people in Jesuit archives\, cross-referencing them and reading against the grain to discover the limitations resulting from enslaved people being prevented from keeping records about their own lives.

SUMMARY:Power and the Cross: The Rise of Agricultural People’s Front of Peru in Peruvian Politics
DESCRIPTION:The participation of the Agricultural People’s Front of Peru or Frente Popular Agricola del Peru (FREPAP) in Peruvian national politics arose from the combination of American expansionism\, the growth of evangelical Christianity\, and the emergence of a strong Israelite movement in South America. \nQuestions and concerns have emerged about the cult-like organization and activities of FREPAP and other Peruvian evangelical groups. Although their mainstream impact is not significant\, their presence\, force\, and participation in Latin American politics cannot be ignored. \nUsing a theological and sociological framework\, Duffy Fellow Carlos Orbegoso Barrios\, FCRH ’21\, will draw conclusions on the future of FREPAP and the impact of similar parties and movements in Latin America. Barrios double majored in theology and economics. \nThis is a Duffy Fellows program event.

SUMMARY:Zoom Reading: Fifth Cup
DESCRIPTION:On Passover each year\, four cups of wine are drunk throughout the Seder. A fifth cup is poured and left at an empty seat for Elijah\, the prophet and herald of the messiah. \nFifth Cup is a play in progress that explores the empty spaces that exist in modern Jewish life. Somewhere\, two people watch as the Weisz family sits down for a Passover dinner and Seder. But the evening sputters to a halt as one question comes to the fore: who gets Elijah’s cup when the night is over? \nTune in for a reading from the first act and stick around after for a Q&A with the playwright\, India Derewetzky\, FCLC ’20. Derewetzky graduated summa cum laude after studying theatre performance. \nThis is a Duffy Fellows program event.

SUMMARY:The Luminous Religion: How was Christianity Translated into Chinese?
DESCRIPTION:China is known for three major faith traditions: Buddhism\, Daoism\, and Confucianism. Did you know that there has also been a Christian presence in China since A.D. 635? Alongside traded goods\, Christianity traveled into East Asia via the Silk Road. Persian monks from what is now Iraq\, Syria\, and Iran gained the support of Emperor Taizong and began an extensive missionary effort centered in China’s ancient capital\, Chang’an. \nThanks to archaeological evidence\, scholars know that this community of Christian believers prospered. Ancient texts discovered in the Dunhuang caves and a massive stone artifice called the Xi’an Stele preserved the rich theological tradition of this Christian community. These archaeological finds also document the methods the Syriac-speaking Persian monks used to translate Christian concepts and ideas into the Chinese language and culture. \nIn this presentation\, Duffy Fellow Anastasia McGrath\, FCRH ’21\, will examine the lexicological meaning behind the translation methods employed in these early Chinese Christian texts and inscriptions. This critical linguistic examination will bring to life the world of medieval China and this unique era of forgotten history. McGrath studied international political economy and Mandarin. \nThis is a Duffy Fellows program event.
