SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Sexuality in Serious Illness Care
DESCRIPTION:The provision of whole-person care requires us to recognize the multidimensional impact that living with a serious illness has on each aspect of a patient’s quality of life: physically\, socially\, psychologically\, spiritually\, and culturally. Conducting a comprehensive biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment lays the groundwork for the sensitive exploration of how serious illness and its treatment influences our patient’s sexuality and sexual expression. This interactive workshop will use the PLISSIT model as a foundation to address these concerns. Strategies to support the historically\, politically\, and socially marginalized with these complex and interconnected issues will be explored\, with tools and resources provided. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 2.5 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:How Did We Get Here? A Deep Dive into the History of Israel and Palestine\, Part III: 1967–2023
DESCRIPTION:The Hamas-engineered massacre of October 7\, 2023\, stunned and shocked Israel and the Jewish world to the core. It triggered a massive Israeli response that has reduced large parts of northern Gaza to rubble. Supporters of Israel and the Palestinians are more bitterly divided than ever\, around the world and especially on college campuses. What are the roots of today’s conflict? And what does it portend for the future of the region? \nTo gain insight into this latest stage in a brutal and divisive conflict that has ebbed and flowed for more than a century\, Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies is sponsoring a four-part series on the history of the conflict with Hussein Ibish\, Ph.D.\, and professor David Myers. During the 2017-2018 academic year\, Ibish and Myers came to campus to deliver a three-part series on the history of this conflict. Five years later\, they return to Fordham to offer an in-depth perspective on the history of Israel-Palestine in light of the current moment. \nThis is the third in a four-part series. For more information about the series\, please visit https://jewishstudies.ace.fordham.edu/how-did-we-get-here-a-deep-dive-into-the-history-of-israel-and-palestine/. \nAbout the Speakers\nHussein Ibish is a senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington. He is a weekly columnist for The National and previously served as a senior fellow at the American Task Force on Palestine. \nDavid N. Myers is a distinguished professor and the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair of Jewish History at UCLA. The author and editor of many books\, he directs the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy and the UCLA Initiative to Study Hate.

SUMMARY:Historian Jules Isaac: From the Teaching of Contempt to the Teaching of Esteem
DESCRIPTION:Few people were more influential in changing the relations between the Catholic Church and Jews than the historian Jules Isaac. In his life\, Jules Isaac lived through and played a role in some of the most pivotal moments in European history. Born in 1877\, he closely followed the Dreyfus affair\, which put a spotlight on modern antisemitism in France\, and joined the Drefussard camp. \nAs a historian and a man deeply committed to the French ideal of secularism\, he co-authored with Albert Malet a famous history textbook\, which shaped the way French children studied and understood history. Before focusing his attention on Catholic teachings about Jews and Judaism\, Isaac worked toward Franco-German reconciliation. When\, during World War II\, he was subjected to anti-Jewish laws by the Vichy regime and removed from his job as a teacher\, he turned his attention to the study of the roots of antisemitism. Then\, after the war\, despite the deportation and murder of his wife Laure and his daughter Juliette in Auschwitz\, he found the courage to open a dialogue with the Christian world and work toward reconciliation. \nIn 1948\, Isaac published his influential book Jesus and Israel\, in which he discussed the Jewishness of Jesus\, and founded the French organization called Judeo-Christian Friendship of France. His meeting with Pope Pius XII and his visit to Pope John XXIII on June 13\, 1960\, were both decisive in helping change the Church’s view of Judaism\, leading to the Nostra Aetate declaration of the Second Vatican Council in 1965. \nIsaac\, who died in 1963\, did not see the fruit of his labor: the promulgation of the Declaration “Nostra Aetate.” Emmanuel Chouraqui’s documentary explores the life of Jules Isaac and how he was able to help transform Catholic anti-Jewish teachings “of contempt” into a teaching of esteem. \nWe will view an early version of the film by Emmanuel Chouraqui and hear him discuss the film with Matthieu Langlois and Norman C. Tobias\, the author of Jewish Conscience of the Church: Jules Isaac and the Second Vatican Council.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Connecting Personal and Professional—The Power of Narratives in Clinical Practice
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, stories and narratives are utilized in education and clinical experiences. Research suggests that a  clinician’s own experiences of loss and death may be connected to professional practices in these areas. Critical reflection is a core aspect of narrative practice\, providing the narrative competence to “recognize\, absorb\, interpret\, and honor” the stories of self and others. In this class\, participants will be exposed to literature and theory on narrative practices and will consider how they relate to various practice settings. Participants will learn narrative techniques and engage through interactive exercises and personal reflection. Additionally\, participants will have the opportunity to connect to\, interpret\, and honor the stories of other participants as a practical example of how narrative practice may enrich communication with clients\, families\, and interprofessional teams. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 3 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:The O’Shea Center for Credit Analysis and Investment Presents: The Truth About Mike Milken
DESCRIPTION:In the 21st century\, no financier has faced as much public scrutiny as Mike Milken\, yet to many\, he remains a mystery—until now. \nIn 1986\, the investigation into Milken\, the innovative financier and head of Drexel Burnham Lambert’s High Yield and Convertible Securities Department\, shocked the world. Yet the media told Milken’s story with no firsthand knowledge of the man himself or his business\, the government investigative methods\, the emotional toll his imprisonment took on him and his family members\, and ultimately\, his remarkable triumph over it all—even in the face of a terminal cancer diagnosis. \nWe will have the unique opportunity to hear the untold side of Milken’s story during a virtual fireside chat with Richard Sandler\, a close confidant\, childhood friend\, and personal lawyer who has been with Milken and his family every step of the way. This frank and personal conversation will focus on Sandler’s recently released book: Witness to the Prosecution: The Myth of Michael Milken. \nIt also will explore what we can learn about the criminal justice system from the Milken story\, and what insights that can provide on potential prosecution and defense strategies in the Sam Bankman-Fried trial. \nPlease join us in what is sure to be a fascinating discussion with Sandler about Milken as a person\, the criminal investigation\, Milken’s strength in the face of adversity\, and his amazing comeback.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Grief—Ours and Theirs
DESCRIPTION:This interactive workshop will explore the impact that our cumulative experiences of grief have on our personal and professional lives. Using the framework of the National Consensus Project Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care\, we’ll explore how our cultural backgrounds and past losses influence our understanding and expression of grief. Although caring for those who are seriously ill exposes us to a multitude of losses\, few healthcare settings offer a safe place to process these powerful feelings—and few clinicians have had training in grief and bereavement. Social workers may find that they are expected to provide comfort to both families and colleagues without access to care for themselves. Strategies to address these complex and interconnected issues will be explored\, with tools and resources provided. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 2.5 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Black Studies and Jewish Studies in Conversation:  ‘Memory\, Heritage\, and Material Remains’
DESCRIPTION:Both the transatlantic slave trade and the Holocaust have left indelible imprints on societies\, public landscapes\, and the collective and public memory of the affected regions. In Europe\, towns and cities\, some of which were predominantly Jewish\, were emptied of the population that had lived there for centuries\, after their Jewish residents had been murdered. Yet\, because they lived there for centuries\, their presence is indelibly etched on the towns’ material remains and memory—however suppressed it may have been. Similarly\, slavery has left a lasting mark on societies that were involved in the slave trade on both sides of the Atlantic\, including in material remains and landscape. \nAna Lucia Araujo\, a leading scholar on material culture and memory of transatlantic slavery\, and Yechiel Weizman\, a scholar of history and memory of the Holocaust\, will discuss the memory\, heritage\, material remains\, and spatial legacy of the transatlantic slave trade\, slavery\, and the Holocaust. \nAbout the Speakers\nAna Lucia Araujo is a social and cultural historian\, an art historian\, and a professor of history at the historically black Howard University in Washington\, D.C. Professor Araujo’s work explores the history of slavery and the Atlantic slave trade and their present-day legacies\, as well as the memory\, heritage\, and visual culture of slavery. Araujo writes\, speaks\, and publishes in English\, Portuguese\, French\, and Spanish\, and her work has been translated into German and Dutch. She is the author of many books\, including Shadows of the Slave Past: Memory\, Heritage\, and Slavery (2014)\, Slavery in the Age of Memory: Engaging the Past (2020)\, and the forthcoming The Gift: How Objects of Prestige Shaped the Atlantic Slave Trade and Colonialism (2024). In 2023\, she was a Getty Residential Senior Scholar at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. \nYechiel Weizman is a scholar of history and memory of the Holocaust and the material history of its aftermath. Weizman teaches at the Israel and Golda Koschitzky Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry at Bar-Ilan University. Prior to joining Bar-Ilan\, Weizman was a research fellow at the Leibniz Institute for Jewish History and Culture and a co-investigator in the research group “Mapping the Archipelago of Lost Towns: Post-Holocaust Urban Lacunae in the Polish-Belarusian- Ukrainian Borderlands” at the Centre for Anthropological Research on Museums and Heritage at Humboldt University\, Berlin. He is the author of Unsettled Heritage: Living Next to Poland’s Material Jewish Traces After the Holocaust\, which was published by Cornell University Press in 2022.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: George Athanassakos on Value vs. Growth Investing and the Future of Stock Prices
DESCRIPTION:George Athanassakos\, Ph.D.\, founder and managing director of The Ben Graham Centre for Value Investing and the Ben Graham Chair in Value Investing at the Ivey Business School\, will argue that the hefty average nominal and real stock returns experienced over the last 30 years are not going to be repeated in the next 30 years. Profit margins will be eroded going forward. Inflation will also be higher than what prevailed in the past 30 years and so are nominal interest rates—due to both higher inflation and higher real interest rates. \nAdvance registration is required. Registered guests will receive the link prior to the program.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: All Oppression Shall Cease
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Christopher Kellerman\, S.J.\, about his thought-provoking work. In All Oppression Shall Cease\, he provides a rigorously researched\, era-by-era history of the Catholic Church’s teachings and actions related to slavery. By telling stories of enslaved Catholics and Catholic slaveholders\, analyzing arguments of theologians who either defended or condemned slaveholding\, and examining documents of popes and councils\, Kellerman’s book reveals disturbing answers to contemporary questions about the Church’s role in the history of slavery and especially in the Atlantic slave trade. \nFather Kellerman concludes with theological reflections on history\, reconciliation\, and restitution. \nTania Tetlow\, president of Fordham University\, will deliver the welcome address and introductory remarks.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Joseph Calandro Jr. on 'The Credit Cycle and Corporate Strategy: Challenges and Solutions'
DESCRIPTION:Joe Calandro will profile the United States credit cycle and the challenges it poses\, and he will share his perspective on where we seem to be in the cycle today. He will show the prior credit cycle wave of progressively lower inflation and interest rates began in 1982—following a historic inflationary trend—and ended in the year 2020. Calandro’s analysis suggests that the current (as of mid-2023) credit cycle of waves of progressively higher inflation and interest rates will present strategic risks and opportunities that will need to be addressed. To help facilitate this\, he will provide practical suggestions that can be addressed by executives\, investors\, and employees both today and in the years to come. \nAbout the Speaker\nJoseph Calandro Jr. is a managing director of a global consulting firm with more than 35 years of broad industry\, consulting\, teaching\, and research experience in the United States and internationally\, focusing on strategy/mergers and acquisitions\, business intelligence/analytics\, and performance/risk management. He is also a fellow of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis at Fordham University\, a contributing editor of Strategy & Leadership\, and a member of the nonprofit Progress Through Business. \nAdvance registration is required.

SUMMARY:Susan Chevlowe on 'Missing Generations: Photographs by Jill Freedman'
DESCRIPTION:Susan Chevlowe\, Ph.D.\, will speak about the exhibition she organized at the Derfner Judaica Museum in Riverdale\, New York\, on view through July 16. The exhibition includes 36 black-and-white images by noted street photographer Jill Freedman (1939–2019)\, documenting sites of destruction and the resurgence of Jewish life after the Holocaust in Hungary\, Poland\, and the Czech Republic. Dating from 1993 to 1994\, they feature survivors at commemorative events at Auschwitz-Birkenau and the Warsaw Ghetto Memorial in Poland\, images from Terezín (Theresienstadt) in former Czechoslovakia\, and the Jewish quarters in Prague and Kraków\, as well as portraits of survivors in Florida and New York. Chevlowe will also discuss Freedman’s project in the context of work by other photographers in the decades after the Shoah who sought to represent the aftermath of this traumatic history in their images. \nJill Freedman gained acclaim for her photographs of Resurrection City—a six-week encampment organized by the Poor People’s Campaign on the Mall in Washington\, D.C.\, that took place after Martin Luther King’s death in 1968. She is also known for the work she did when she embedded with New York City firefighters in the Bronx and in Harlem in the 1970s\, and the NYPD from 1978 to 1981. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, International Center of Photography\, George Eastman House\, Smithsonian American Art Museum\, New York Public Library\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, Bibliothèque Nationale\, Paris\, and more. \nAbout the Speaker\nSusan Chevlowe is chief curator and museum director of Derfner Judaica Museum and the Art Collection at Hebrew Home at Riverdale\, where she has organized numerous exhibitions since 2009\, including the museum’s ongoing exhibition\, “Tradition and Remembrance: Treasures of the Derfner Judaica Museum”\, and solo exhibitions of Leonard Freed\, Archie Rand\, and Jill Nathanson\, and many others. A former curator at the Jewish Museum in New York\, she organized such exhibitions as “Painting a Place in America: Jewish Artists in New York” (with Norman L. Kleeblatt)\, “Common Man”\, “Mythic Vision: The Paintings of Ben Shahn\, 1936-1962”\, and “The Jewish Identity Project: New American Photography.” She has also written or co-written accompanying catalog essays. An advisor to the Jewish Art Salon\, she is the author and contributor to numerous books and exhibition catalogs on Jewish visual culture. Chevlowe received her Ph.D. in art history from the Graduate Center\, CUNY.

SUMMARY:Trauma Spectrum Disorders: Reintegrating America's Returning Warriors
DESCRIPTION:Much attention is given to returning veterans with war-induced syndromes\, such as PTSD. An estimated 10% to 20% of returning soldiers have PTSD. The experiences of the other 80% to 90% are not as well understood\, including whether or not their experiences are clinically significant or indicative of psychosocial problems. There is a growing body of literature on subthreshold posttraumatic stress disorder\, but little empirical evidence on subthreshold PTSD and its implications. Reliance on diagnostic models of psychiatric disorders has led to a lack of investigation of the posttraumatic sequelae that do not meet the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis and has limited the way clinicians interact with returning veterans. \nThis class will discuss the subtle aspects of coming home from a war zone\, the nature of the subclinical presentation of PTSD\, and what social workers should be attuned to with respect to returning warriors. Intimate stories from real cases\, and Colonel Jeffrey S. Yarvis\, Ph.D.\, will use his own wartime experiences to explore the challenges associated with caring for warriors and their families when the warrior comes home with so-called war-induced trauma spectrum disorders\, military sexual trauma\, moral injuries\, substance use disorders\, intimacy and communication concerns\, and readjustment issues to the family\, the workplace\, and campus. Issues particular to female veterans and the role of social workers also will be addressed. Finally\, social justice and social impact issues will be considered\, as well. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 3 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Financial Issues Forum: Edward Chancellor on The Price of Time: The Real Story of Interest
DESCRIPTION:In the beginning\, there was the loan\, and the loan carried interest. For at least five millennia\, people have been borrowing and lending at interest. The practice wasn’t always popular: In the ancient world\, usury was generally viewed as exploitative\, a potential path to debt bondage and slavery. Yet as capitalism became established from the late Middle Ages onward\, denunciations of interest were tempered because interest was a necessary reward for lenders who parted with their capital. And interest performs many other vital functions: It encourages people to save; enables them to place a value on precious assets\, such as houses and other financial securities; and allows us to price risk. \nOver the first two decades of the 21st century\, interest rates have sunk lower than ever before. Easy money after the global financial crisis in 2007–2008 has produced several ill effects\, including multiple asset price bubbles\, a reduction in productivity growth\, discouraging savings and exacerbated inequality\, and forcing yield-starved investors to take on excessive risk. The financial world now finds itself caught between a rock and a hard place\, and Edward Chancellor is here to tell us why. In The Price of Time\, he explores the history of interest and its essential function in determining how capital is allocated and priced. \nAbout the Speaker\nEdward Chancellor is the author of The Price of Time and Devil Take the Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation\, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. He also writes the specialist report Crunch-Time for Credit?\, a prescient analysis of the credit boom in the U.S. and the U.K. In addition\, Chancellor has edited two investment books\, Capital Account and Capital Returns. An award-winning financial journalist\, he is currently a columnist for Reuters Breakingviews and has contributed to many other publications\, including the Wall Street Journal\, MoneyWeek\, New York Review of Books\, and Financial Times.

SUMMARY:Professional Boundaries: Ethical Obligations of Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:Can mental health professionals work with clients that they know from outside of the job? Can you barter with clients for your services? Mental health professionals are charged with the legal and ethical responsibility to maintain professional boundaries\, but the obligation isn’t always so easy to discern. This class brings real-world context to ethical concerns often experienced by professionals in practice in maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. This class will provide a framework to contemplate ethical dilemmas and make informed decisions that insulate professionals from legal liability while protecting clients from harm. \nRegister for May 4 \nRegister for June 1 \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of three continuing education hours. \n\nThis class is designed to meet the New York state requirement that mental health professionals receive three hours of training on maintaining appropriate professional boundaries (effective April 2023). This class is not specific to New York state and can satisfy ethics and boundaries training requirements for any state.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Healthcare Social Work Documentation to Mitigate Bias
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare social workers engage in discipline-specific\, skilled interventions informed by training\, best practices\, and attunement to social justice. Documenting assessments and interventions clearly communicates the value of the social work perspective\, skills\, and contributions and influences outcomes while also contributing to the learning of those who read our work. This class will review the literature on bias in documentation in the medical record\, a focus driven by the advent of “open notes” as of April 2021. Sample patient notes and narratives will be used to illustrate how social work documentation communicates best practices and has the potential to mitigate bias while integrating the impacts of social determinants. \nNo matter the setting\, word choice is foundational to communication and documentation and significantly impacts patient family experiences\, decisional outcomes\, bereavement\, and legacy. We will explore attributed meanings underlying words and phrases used in health care and unintended consequences. Our spoken words are often reflected in the written words and phrases used in documentation in a medical record\, which is a permanent record influencing care. This class will expand on language and word choice and highlight the ethical responsibility in documenting authentically and with the awareness that documentation is permanent\, creates opportunities to mitigate bias\, and can maximize the impact of the social work lens of “person in environment.” \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of two continuing education hours.

SUMMARY: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 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 healthcare 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. Special attention will be given to the impact of the pandemic on moral distress. Strategies for recognizing and dealing with the experience of moral distress in individuals\, teams\, and within health systems will be considered. \nThree continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Stories Between Christianity and Islam: A Conversation with Reyhan Durmaz
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University is delighted to present the next 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. This episode will feature Reyhan Durmaz and Ashley Purpura. \nThe 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. \nAbout Reyhan Durmaz\nIn this talk\, Reyhan Durmaz will reflect on her recently published book and her current research projects. In Stories between Christianity and Islam (UCP 2022)\, Durmaz investigates the dynamics underlying the transmissions of saints’ stories between Christianity and Islam. By analyzing a broad group of Greek\, Syriac\, and Arabic texts from the fourth to the 14th century\, she revisits the lively scholarly conversations about orality\, authorship\, authority\, and memory in late antiquity and the Middle Ages. Through the lens of saints’ stories\, their narrators\, and their audiences\, she argues against literary taxonomies\, such as “Christian” and “Islamic” texts. \nShe demonstrates that Christian saints’ stories facilitated ongoing conversations between Christians and Muslims about the shared divine past\, conceptualizations of sanctity\, and communal identities. As the faculty fellow at the Orthodox Christian Studies Center for the 2022-2023 academic year\, she is working on a new monograph that reconstructs the various forms and expressions of Christianities in the medieval Middle Eastern countryside. The history of Christianity in the Middle East is often studied in light of theological developments and in relation to the presumed dominance of Islam. The book highlights that in rural regions\, far from the centers of clerical authority and Islamic influence\, Christianity manifested in diverse ways\, displaying complex dynamics of religious authority\, communal belonging\, and ritual practice. In the talk\, Durmaz will give examples of material culture and literary sources she uses in her project in order to study Middle Eastern Christianity. \nDurmaz is working on two other related projects. In one\, she investigates forms of religious skepticism beyond philosophical writings of the elite in the medieval Middle East\, with an eye to destabilizing the Eurocentric narratives of secularization and the implied European roots of modernity. For the other\, she studies the role Orthodox Christians have played in the making of publics in the U.S. Her analysis of the first Arabic newspaper in North America\, Kawkab Amrika\, founded by Christians from Lebanon\, is forthcoming in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion. The talk will address these intertwined projects on Middle Eastern Christians at home and in diaspora.

SUMMARY:The Russia Question Hosts Serhii Plokhy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk with Serhii Plokhy on his recent book\, The Russo-Ukrainian War. \nDespite repeated warnings from the White House\, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war—and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military. The West has united\, and Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy\, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War\, offers a definitive account of this conflict\, its origins\, course\, and both the already-apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault—on February 27\, 2014\, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament—the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier\, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the 19th and 20th centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia’s ideas and cultures\, as well as domestic and international politics\, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable\, it was predictable. \nUkraine\, Plokhy argues\, has remained central to Russia’s idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons\, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order\, and a resurgence of populist nationalism\, Ukraine is more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe. \nThe Russia Question is a book talk series devoted to all things Russia\, hosted by professor Michael Ossorgin\, Russian program director at Fordham College at Lincoln Center.
