SUMMARY:Sustainable Self-Care for Social Workers
DESCRIPTION: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 into a sustainable and effective self-care plan. It will start with an overview of Ayurveda\, a holistic medical system premised on balancing our nervous systems\, minds\, bodies\, and spirits via simple\, daily lifestyle habits. This workshop provides an overview of some of Ayurveda’s core daily habits and how they can help social workers manage burnout symptoms. Practiced regularly\, these habits balance our circadian rhythms\, lead to deeper states of restoration and rest\, and achieve a shift from feeling overwhelmed toward ease in mind and body. Ayurvedic tools like rhythmic eating practices for healthy digestion\, self-massage for grounding the nervous system\, and meditation for mental and emotional stability are central to this workshop. We will also discuss methods for effectively integrating new self-care habits. The importance of workplace culture\, leadership buy-in and modeling of self-care\, and collective self-care will also be discussed. The workshop will conclude with a solution-focused group exercise for creating a simple self-care action plan. \nTwo continuing education hours will be offered upon completion of the course.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Care in Context – Advance Care Planning and the Role of Social Work
DESCRIPTION: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 and especially important for those who are seriously ill. Social workers have the clinical background to provide nuanced\, advance-care planning conversations and are often well-positioned to offer leadership in developing advance care planning programs within their organizations. This interactive workshop will explore best practices in advance care planning with a focus on the social work role. Advance care planning tools and resources will be provided. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 3 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Julia Ng\, Daoism\, and Capitalism: Modern German Jewish Philosophy’s Encounter with China
DESCRIPTION: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 1910s and ’20s\, translations of philosophical and literary classics and socio-political analyses enabled by a circuit of missionaries\, diplomats\, and scholar-enthusiasts had inspired Germanophone writers at large to adapt Chinese ideas in their works. Yet the German-Jewish reception was singular and pivotal to the emergence of what would later come to be known as the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. Building on her recent work\, Julia Ng’s lecture focuses on one concept\, in particular\, that was broadly associated with Daoism—wu wei or ’non-action’—and its transformation by Martin Buber\, Franz Kafka\, Franz Rozenzweig\, and Walter Benjamin into variations of non-participation in the capitalist ethic\, non-conformity with the Christian-colonial project\, and non-absorption into the racialization of work prevalent in theories of political and economic activity to this day. \nDespite burgeoning interest in Daoism’s global reception and critical theory’s continuing relevance for analyzing transnational sociopolitical phenomena\, the historical-conceptual links between the two have received no critical attention. Using extensive new archival work to reconstruct early critical theory’s shared network of texts\, translators\, visitors\, and ideas concerning Daoism that issued from a China at the intersection of colonialism\, capitalism\, and revolution\, Ng proposes ways to begin investigating the impact of a concept from the global south on the development of this major movement within modern European philosophy. In doing so\, she calls attention to the possibility of reconfiguring critical theory’s resources for a world not organized solely around European paradigms of action and knowledge. Indeed\, she believes that the re-instantiation of the questions that Daoist ideas permitted early critical theory to pose speaks with urgency to our current predicaments involving infrastructure-based politics\, ecology\, and a globalized political economy organized increasingly around an “Asiatic mode of production.” \nMembers of the Fordham community may attend the event in person at the Lincoln Center campus\, in McMahon Hall room 109. \nAbout the Speaker\nJulia Ng is a senior lecturer in critical theory and co-director of the Centre for Philosophy and Critical Thought at Goldsmiths\, University of London. She is the co-editor and translator of the new critical edition of Walter Benjamin’s Toward the Critique of Violence (2021)\, as well as of Werner Hamacher’s Two Studies of Friedrich Hölderlin (2020)\, both of which appeared with Stanford University Press. Besides writing extensively on the links between modern mathematics\, political thought\, and theories of history and language particularly in the work of Benjamin and Scholem—including a co-edited Modern Language Notes Special Issue on “Walter Benjamin\, Gershom Scholem\, and the Marburg School” (2012) and articles on Cohen\, Meyerson\, and Reinach—she is also the author of essays on critical theory more broadly\, including on Agamben\, Derrida\, Descartes\, Hölderlin\, Kraus\, Marx\, Nelson\, Baudelaire\, and Sappho. She is currently working on a project on Daoism and capitalism while a research fellow at the Center for Jewish History and Fordham University.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Meaning-Centered Supervision – A Structured\, Self-Reflective Model for Healthcare Social Workers
DESCRIPTION:Completion of this class will result in the receipt of three (3) continuing education hours. \nRebecca 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. MCS includes seven structured sessions in which social workers craft narratives around themes of professional attitude\, living and creating work life\, and connections with the social work profession. In this workshop\, participants will be trained in the full MCS series concepts and themes and utilize the experiential exercises in a personal self-reflective meaning-making process. MCS curriculum materials will be provided for participants to utilize with their mentees in their own supervision practice. Application of the course material to additional staff support settings will also be discussed. \nAbout the Instructor\nRebecca “Becky” Cammy is the manager of social work for the oncology service line at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. She was a 2021 Cambia Health Foundation Sojourns scholar and 2017 leadership fellow in the New York University Zelda Foster Studies program. Cammy is passionate about health care disparities and engaged in research to highlight best practices and link patient outcomes with psychosocial support services. She co-authored two chapters in the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Social Work\, 2nd edition (2022). Cammy has a small private practice specializing in serious illnesses\, including cancer diagnoses and chronic medical issues\, as well as grief\, loss\, and bereavement. She also runs a clinical supervision group for medical social workers. She earned her master’s in social work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 and is currently pursuing her doctorate in palliative care at the University of Maryland Baltimore.

SUMMARY:Women Scholars: Divine Inspiration in Byzantium: A Conversation with Karin Krause
DESCRIPTION:The Orthodox Christian Studies Center 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. 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. This episode features a conversation with Karin Krause and Ashley Purpura. \nAbout the Speakers\nKarin Krause\, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Munich\, is an associate professor of Byzantine art and religious culture at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago. Before arriving in Chicago\, she taught in the Department of Art History at the University of Basel. She specializes in the Christian visual cultures of Byzantium and the premodern Mediterranean region. Professor Krause’s research interests include visual hermeneutics\, Byzantine manuscript culture\, the interrelation of texts and images\, the cult of relics\, the theology of the icon\, and phenomena of cultural exchange between Byzantium and the West. In her most recent book\, Divine Inspiration in Byzantium: Notions of Authenticity in Art and Theology (Cambridge University Press\, 2022)\, she examines the intersecting conceptions of divine inspiration and authenticity in the literature and visual arts of Byzantium. Krause traces how ancient ideas about the divine origin of texts and material artifacts were reinterpreted in Byzantine literature and art to promulgate claims to religious truth and authority. \nAshley Purpura is an associate professor of religious studies at the School of Interdisciplinary Studies\, a faculty fellow of the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Program\, and the director of the Women’s\, Gender\, & Sexuality Studies program at Purdue University. She is the author of God\, Hierarchy\, and Power: Orthodox Theologies of Authority from Byzantium (Fordham University Press\, 2018)\, and co-editor of Orthodox Tradition and Human Sexuality (Fordham University Press\, 2022). Purpura’s current research projects focus on rethinking assumptions about women\, gender\, and otherness in light of Orthodox sources\, traditions\, and theology.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Tools for Effective Supervision
DESCRIPTION: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 skills and student awareness\, and increase student self-efficacy. We will also review techniques on how to provide constructive feedback on these role-plays and client interactions. \nSupervision not only provides professional development\, but it also provides an opportunity to help students develop reflective practice skills and healthy boundaries. By helping students develop a reflective practice\, we can foster self-awareness\, build critical thinking skills\, facilitate personal growth\, and empower students to proactively address life/work challenges during supervision sessions. In this seminar\, we will discuss the use of self in practice\, along with the challenges new social workers face trying to balance their personal and professional selves. We will also review debriefing strategies to assist in building this reflective practice. \nCompletion of this class will result in the receipt of 2 continuing education hours.

SUMMARY:Exploring Christian Space: A Dialogue Between Professors Dina Boero and Mary Farag
DESCRIPTION:How did Christians view and use space in late antiquity? Since the beginning of the academic study of religion\, the notion of sacred space has been central to a definition of the ways in which humans bind themselves to the divine. In this discussion\, two experts will discuss the role constructions of space played in Christian worship\, asceticism\, pilgrimage\, and other practices. \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 the Speakers\nDina Boero\, Ph.D.\, is associate professor of ancient Mediterranean history at The College of New Jersey. Boero is a historian of late antiquity. Her research elucidates the making of saints\, the anthropology of pilgrimage\, and the development of monasticism in late-antique Syria. Whereas most scholars who address these topics focus only on the literary evidence\, Boero integrates the archaeological record with Syriac and Greek sources to highlight saints and the institutions that supported them (churches\, pilgrimage complexes\, monasteries) as sites for negotiating competing meanings and practices. Her current book project\, The Anatomy of a Cult\, traces the history of Symeon the Stylite the Elder’s (d. 459) cult in the fifth to seventh centuries. Boero received her B.A. in religion from the University of California: San Diego and her M.A. and Ph.D. in classics from the University of Southern California. Before joining the faculty at TCNJ\, she held a postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University in 2016-2017 and served as a visiting researcher position at the University of Waterloo in 2013-2014. \nMary K. Farag is a historian of Christianity in late antiquity. Her book What Makes a Church Sacred? Legal and Ritual Perspectives from Late Antiquity was published in 2021 as both a paperback edition and an open-access downloadable book. In general\, Farag’s research focuses on Christian liturgical practices in late antiquity and their role in the wider Greco-Roman\, Byzantine\, and Islamic worlds. Her geographic specialty in Egypt often leads her abroad to study Coptic and Arabic manuscripts and participate in archaeological projects. Farag is active in educational work in Coptic Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox parishes. \nEmanuel Fiano is an assistant professor of Syriac studies in the theology department at Fordham University. He researches the intellectual history of late ancient Christianity\, with a particular focus on Syriac and Coptic literature\, religious controversies\, Christian-Jewish relations\, and canonical production. His first monograph\, Three Powers in Heaven: The Emergence of Theology and the Parting of the Ways (Yale University Press\, June 2023)\, examines the relevance of the fourth-century debates about Christ’s relationship to the father—also known as Trinitarian controversies—for the so-called “parting of ways” between Christianity and Judaism. The project on which he is currently at work centers on the interplay between law and theology as domains of discursive production in early Christianity and aims at redescribing their role in the establishment of an orthodoxy-based public order in the late Roman empire (with forays beyond the lines).

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Decentering Power in Clinical Supervision
DESCRIPTION:Completion of this class will result in the receipt of two (2) continuing education hours. \nTraditional supervision is rooted in oppressive practices that assume the superiority of one over the other. In addition\, because mental health professionals are predominantly white\, clinicians of color in community practice or in an internship are more likely to have white supervisors—adding societal-level power dynamics into the supervisory relationship. In this class\, Norissa Williams\, Ph.D.\, will discuss anti-oppressive supervision practices that address power dynamics. Rooted in an anti-blackness framework that considers the experiences of all BIPOC individuals\, this discussion will explore restructuring hierarchies in supervisory practices\, white supremacy culture and how it may manifest in supervision\, internalized oppression and its manifestation in internalized superiority or internalized inferiority\, and conclude with best practices for supervisors and supervisees in enacting their liberation. \nAbout the Instructor\nNorissa Williams holds a doctorate in psychology\, a master’s in social work\, and is the CEO of Liberation Research and Practice Institute (RPI). Liberation RPI partners with organizations to achieve the aims of liberation by developing their capacity to be anti-racist and anti-oppressive\, and develop cultural competence. She accomplishes this through the provision of trainings\, needs assessment\, strategic action planning\, program implementation\, facilitation\, and moderation. Williams has previously served as clinical faculty and program director of the master’s in counseling program at NYU. In addition\, she has had other county-level leadership positions with the aim of helping organizations operate more equitably. Her scholarship relates to culturally embedded processes of coping socialization\, cross-cultural differences in mental health help-seeking behaviors\, critical consciousness development\, decolonizing and liberating pedagogical and clinical practices\, as well as anti-racist/anti-oppressive practices in organizational contexts.

SUMMARY:James McAuley on His Book The House of Fragile Things: Jewish Art Collectors and the Fall of France
DESCRIPTION:During the French Third Republic\, which emerged in 1870 and ended in 1940\, French Jews\, according to James McAuley\, “enjoyed a greater level of civic engagement and public visibility … than at any other point in modern French history.” They saw their Frenchness and Jewishness as symbiotic\, not contradictory. Those most affluent invested their fortunes in France’s cultural artifacts\, built museums\, and sacrificed their sons to the country’s army. But their commitment to France was rejected\, their collections ultimately plundered\, and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps. \nIn his talk and in his book The House of Fragile Things\, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the identity of French Jews in the fin-de-siècle. Weaving together narratives of various figures\, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust —the Camondos\, the Rothschilds\, the Ephrussis\, the Cahens d’Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: They were often accused of “invading” France’s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were a response to tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them. \nJames McAuley is the Paris correspondent for the Washington Post and a contributor to the New York Review of Books. He recently received his doctorate in French history at Oxford.

SUMMARY:The Jewish Female Body in Argentine Cinema: Modernization\, Desire\, and Difference in the Late 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:The second half of the 20th century marks shifts in the representation of Jewish women in Argentine cinema. During the first half of the 1960s\, a time when Argentina´s film culture was transformed by the decisive influence of European film modernism but also a time of rarified political climate in which the Eichmann affaire catalyzed a growing wave of antisemitism\, Argentine cinema produced an image of the Jewish woman as a modernizing figure. Along with the Jewish young man—shown as the modernist intellectual\, the progressive political militant— the Jewish young woman\, the sister\, the daughter was a transgressive and sexualized character\, shown as desirous of and desired by non-Jewish men. In the post-dictatorial 1980s\, the Jewish female appears again as a transgressive element in popular culture. At the times of the so-called destape\, the cultural disinhibition that followed decades of political and cultural repression\, the “Russian girl”\, the “Polish girl”\, the “girl from the Zwi Migdal” emerged as part of a constellation of disruptive elements in the convulsed Argentine democracy. This presentation will explore these two figurations of the Jewish woman in the specific context of Argentine cinema while aiming to trace similarities and resonances in other film cultures and specifically in American film. \nDébora Kantor has a degree in political science\, an M.A. in cultural sociology and is a Ph.D. candidate at the Social Sciences Faculty of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). Her doctoral research\, focused on the representation of Jewish characters and Jewishness in Argentine modern and contemporary film\, is funded by the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) of Argentina.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
DESCRIPTION:Completion of this class will result in the receipt of three (3) continuing education hours. \nApproximately 2.7 million grandparents in the United States are raising their grandchildren without a parent present\, with the majority raised only by the grandmother. The proportions of these grandparents are highest among Black\, Hispanic\, and Native-American families. Data from New York State show 122\,000 grandparents are raising their grandchildren\, and they are doing so informally\, outside of the foster care system. Factors contributing to grandparents’ caregiving include parental substance abuse\, incarceration\, child abuse/maltreatment\, mental illness\, and death. In addition\, when parents are unable to care for their child\, federal child placement laws specify a preference for placement with relatives\, and in most instances\, this is the grandparent. These families face many challenges including financial strain\, psychological and emotional stress\, and transitioning to their new roles. The COVID-19 pandemic further intensified these challenges as it impacted both generations. This workshop\, taught by Carole Cox\, Ph.D.\, will discuss the issues that confront these families and the social work interventions that can assist them. \nAbout the Instructor\nCarole Cox is a professor at the Graduate School of Social Service at Fordham University. She is a Fulbright Scholar and representative of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGGO) to the United Nations. She is the author of eight books and more than 60 chapters and journal articles\, with the majority focusing on older adults. For many years\, she worked specifically with grandparents raising grandchildren\, having developed and facilitated with the NYC Department for the Aging an empowerment training program for these caregivers. The recent COVID-19 pandemic put an extra strain on these families and the empowerment program was offered virtually. The program continues to be offered as it specifically addresses the needs of these families.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Can We Talk About Racism?
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Linda McClain about her book Who’s the Bigot? Learning from Conflicts over Marriage and Civil Rights Law. Talking productively about race is a central problem in our divided nation. While some celebrate diversity and inclusion\, others feel excluded and fear being tarred as bigots. The hope spawned by Barack Obama’s election was followed by the angry resentments of Trump’s MAGA followers. \nMcClain’s book traces the themes and rhetoric of prejudice\, bigotry\, ignorance\, and animus in the law and public debate over civil rights\, marriage\, and recognition of the rights of gays and lesbians. The Robert Kent Professor of Law at Boston University and a graduate of the University of Chicago Divinity School\, McClain’s careful history pays close attention to the participation of religious advocates in the developing law. \nMcClain will be joined in conversation by two writers who have reflected on the problems of bias among American Catholics and Latino Americans. LaSalle University Professor of Christian Ethics Maureen O’Connell plumbs her own family’s history in Undoing the Knots Five Generations of American Catholic Anti-Blackness. Tanya Kateri Hernandez too looks inward in her newly published Racial Innocence Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias and the Struggle for Equality. The Archibald R. Murray Professor of Law at Fordham\, she is also the author of Multiracials and Civil Rights. \nGeorge Conk\, a senior fellow at Fordham Law\, will moderate.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Helping Individuals with an Intellectual or Developmental Disability Cope with Serious Illness
DESCRIPTION:There is a hidden population of people who require inclusive\, affirmative care throughout the United States. Historically\, they have been underserved\, ignored\, and forgotten. They live at home\, in group settings\, in nursing homes\, and on the street. In 2020\, there were 36.5 million people living at home in the U.S. with intellectual disability (ID) and developmental delay (DD). Their providers require a specialized lens to offer holistic individualized\, biopsychosocial-spiritual care. The special protections established to prevent medical disenfranchisement\, neglect\, and abuse can seem esoteric. Clinicians may view those necessary protections as barriers to care. \nThis class offers guidance to provide inclusive\, patient- and family-centered care for people and families living with ID/DD. Clinicians will understand the nuances of working with people and their families living with ID/DD throughout the life course\, such as assessing capacity in the context of ID/DD. Special attention will be paid to the palliative management of serious illness and end-of-life care to navigate advance directives\, goals of care discussions\, and life-sustaining treatment in the context of complex capacity and competency conversations. \nUsing lecture\, breakout groups\, and discussion\, we will examine case studies of persons with ID/DD who develop a life-limiting illness\, when the person living with ID/DD is in a caregiver role\, and best practices for additional support for people with ID/DD through bereavement. \nContinuing Education Hours Offered: 2

SUMMARY:New York Jews and New York Social Democracy
DESCRIPTION:A conversation between Daniel Soyer and Robert W. Snyder about Daniel Soyer’s new book\, Left in the Center: The Liberal Party of New York and the Rise and Fall of American Social Democracy (Cornell\, 2022). \nBetween the 1930s and the 1970s\, New Yorkers benefited from a kind of social-democracy-in-one-city unusual in the United States. Also unusual were the strong minor parties that played an important role in New York’s politics and helped formulate its social policy. Chief among these was the Liberal Party\, which drew support especially from the garment unions and the city’s working- and middle-class Jewish community. In its heyday\, the party could mobilize tens of thousands of people\, many of them union members\, and sway elections. By the end of the 20th century\, New York’s social democracy was in tatters\, and many charged that the Liberal Party had degenerated into a cynical patronage machine. Daniel Soyer discusses the roots of the Liberal Party and New York’s brand of social liberalism in the Jewish immigrant labor and Socialist movements\, their infusion into mainstream politics\, their influence on the city and state\, and their decline — along with their Jewish ethnic base — toward the end of the century. While the Liberal Party no longer exists\, small parties like the Working Families and Conservative Parties still play a significant role in local politics\, and so lessons drawn from the Liberal Party’s history are still relevant today. \nYou can get a 30% discount with code 09BCARD from Cornell University Press when you order the book from Cornell University Press. \nDaniel Soyer is a professor of history and Jewish studies at Fordham University and editor of The Jewish Metropolis: New York City from the 17th to the 21st Century (Academic Studies Press\, 2021).

He also is co-editor of the journal American Jewish History. \nRobert W. Snyder has devoted his career to writing and teaching about the history of New York City.

SUMMARY:Continuing Education: The Family Meeting in Health Care—Social Work in a Leadership Role
DESCRIPTION:Family caregivers play a significant role in caring for people with chronic and serious illnesses. In the context of palliative and end-of-life care\, caregivers play a vital role in providing assistance with daily living\, critical medical decision-making\, and adherence to treatment recommendations. Social workers are uniquely qualified to work with family caregivers from the person-in-situation perspective and to take the lead in the family meeting. This class will highlight the theoretical framework for the family meeting in health care\, including palliative care\, best practices in caregiver assessment\, and treatment\, using real-life case scenarios to illustrate complex clinical issues and social work best practices. The training will focus on reinforcement of theory\, practice skills\, reflective exercises\, and strategies for increasing professional visibility within the family meeting. Topics will include caregiver burden\, biopsychosocial screening\, multidimensional intervention\, communication techniques\, and existential and cultural differences in response to serious illness. \nContinuing Education Hours Offered: 2
