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:David Myers and Nomi Stolzenberg on American Shtetl: The Making of Kiryas Joel\, a Hasidic Village in Upstate New York
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid book talk in conversation with Abner Green. \nPublic attention in recent months has focused on the large Hasidic community in the New York area and the interplay of politics\, state funding\, and educational standards. This talk will focus on one of the largest and most interesting examples\, Kiryas Joel\, a legally recognized municipality in suburban New York made up exclusively of Satmar Hasidic Jews. How did the community come into being? How\, and why\, did it secure recognition as a municipality? What part has education played in its history? And where is this rapidly growing community heading? \nAbout the Speakers\nNomi M. Stolzenberg holds the Nathan and Lilly Shapell Chair at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law. She is a legal scholar whose research spans a range of interdisciplinary interests\, including law and religion\, law and liberalism\, law and feminism\, law and psychoanalysis\, and law and literature.

SUMMARY:Welcoming the Stranger: Abrahamic Hospitality and Contemporary Implications
DESCRIPTION:One of the signal moments in the narrative of Abraham is his insistent and enthusiastic reception of three strangers. That moment is a beginning point of inspiration for all three Abrahamic traditions as they evolve and develop the details of their respective teachings. Such notions have been seriously challenged on many occasions throughout history. \nThe purpose of this conference is to explore these issues from a theoretical and theological perspective\, and a perspective that examines concrete historical and contemporary instances within the past 120 years in which aspects of these issues have played out\, most recently during the ongoing Ukrainian refugee crisis. \nSpeakers \n\nOri Z. Soltes\, Georgetown University\nThomas Massaro\, S.J.\, Fordham University\nZeki Saritoprak\, John Carroll University\nRachel Stern\, founding and executive director\, Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted\, Ostracized\, and Banned Art\nMimi Tsankov\, immigration judge\, U.S. Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review\nMohsin Mohi Ud Di\, founder\, #MeWe International Inc.\, a global nonprofit\nCarol Prendergast\, senior advisor\, Alfanar Venture Philanthropy

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:Whose Law? Christians and Jews Rethink the Pharisees
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the centuries\, in Christian writings and homilies\, the Pharisees have been called legalistic\, money-loving\, self-righteous hypocrites. That definition has become a label applied to Jews in general\, as well as any persons or groups the speaker or writer despised. For Jews\, however\, the Pharisees are respected teachers of the past who are in some way the predecessors of all forms of modern Judaism.\nWho were the Pharisees\, really? And why does this question matter today? \nJoin this conversation about The Pharisees\, an interdisciplinary and multifaith volume that seeks to contribute to finding the elusive truth\, overcome untruths\, and investigate approaches to the Pharisees. \nModerator: Rabbi Burton L. Visotzky\, professor of Midrash and Interreligious studies \nWelcome Remarks: Endy Moraes\, IRLLW director\, and Rabbi Noam Marans\, AJC director of interreligious and intergroup relations \nSpeakers \nAmy-Jill Levine\, professor\, Vanderbilt University Divinity School \nJoseph Sievers\, Pontifical Biblical Institute \nShaye J. D. Cohen\, professor\, Harvard University \nAngela Harkins\, associate professor\, Boston College. \nThis joint event of Fordham’s Institute on Religion\, Law\, and Lawyer’s Work and Jewish Theological Seminary is also supported by AJC – American Jewish Committee. It will be held in person and livestreamed.

SUMMARY:Common Good Constitutionalism
DESCRIPTION:Americans’ understanding of their Constitution and legal tradition has been dominated in recent decades by two contested themes: the “originalism” of conservatives and the “living constitutionalism” of progressives. Is it time to look for an alternative? Harvard Law School’s Adrian Vermeule says the alternative underlies the American legal tradition. He calls for “common good constitutionalism\,” which draws on “the classical synthesis of Roman law\, canon law\, and local civil law.” \nJoin us for a conversation with Eric J. Segall\, professor of law at Georgia State University; Fordham philosophy and law professor Michael Baur; and James E. Fleming\, professor of law at Boston University. The panel will be moderated by George Conk\, senior fellow at Fordham’s Stein Center for Law and Ethics.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Social\, Economic\, and Sustainable Practices to Foster Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:The impending doom of climate change has dominated global discourse in recent times. It revolves around finding a sustainable solution to the equitable dispensation of scarce natural resources. The injustice gap is visible in current flawed social and political system trends that celebrate division instead of togetherness. COVID-19 exacerbated the situation and painted a clearer picture of these terrible issues. \nTo search for solutions\, we will host a conversation with experts to explore novel strategies to cure the irreversible\, imminent\, and global disaster. \nSpeakers \n\nRabbi Daniel Swartz\, executive director at the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life\nShabd Singh\, political organizer and advocate from Washington\, D.C.\nRaya Salter\, adjunct professor of law at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law\, clean energy law and policy expert

SUMMARY:Catholic Discordance: Dialogue or Division
DESCRIPTION:Massimo Borghesi\, a moral philosopher at the University of Perugia\, has published Catholic Discordance: Neoconservatism vs. the Field Hospital Church of Pope Francis. The book is a history of the rise to prominence of conservatism in the U.S. Catholic Church. How will the U.S. church respond to Francis’ call for “synodality”—dialog of renewal and discernment among the whole of the people of God? Can the spirit of Vatican II be rekindled here? Can the social justice mission of the church be protected and renewed? Is the U.S. church\, like the polity\, headed for soft schism? \nWe invite you for a conversation with the author and theologian professor Massimo Faggioli (Villanova University)\, professor Michael Baur (Fordham University)\, and moral theologian Thomas Massaro\, S.J.\, (Fordham University). The panel will be moderated by George Conk\, senior fellow at Fordham’s Stein Center for Law and Ethics.

SUMMARY:Freeing Agunot in Practice: Aspects of the New York Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Agunah panel discussion will concentrate on the problem of Jewish women whose husbands refuse to grant them a bill of divorce (Get)\, and who are\, therefore\, unable to remarry under Jewish law. The discussion aims to highlight the scope of the problem and to raise awareness of current practices available for its amelioration. \nPanelists include a representative from a leading New York Agunah relief agency and from a New York family support organization. A Rabbinic responder will facilitate the discussion.

SUMMARY:The Future of Human Expertise in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: An Interfaith Conversation
DESCRIPTION:How far should artificial intelligence be entrusted to assume tasks once performed by humans? What is gained and lost when it does? What is the optimal mix of robotic and human interaction? We invite you to a conversation with Frank Pasquale\, professor\, Brooklyn Law School; Zahra Takhshid\, assistant professor\, University of Denver Sturm College of Law; and Rabbi Ariel Evan Mayse\, assistant professor\, Stanford University. \nPasquale’s book\, New Laws of Robotics: Defending Human Expertise in the Age of AI\, makes the case that policymakers must not allow corporations or engineers to answer these questions alone. \nThis webinar will explore his vision of technological progress\, in which human expertise is the irreplaceable center of an inclusive economy through interfaith lenses.

SUMMARY:The Economy of Communion As Stakeholder Capitalism: Exploring Religion's Evolving Influence on Business—Session 4
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.

SUMMARY:The Economy of Communion As Stakeholder Capitalism: Exploring Religion’s Evolving Influence on Business—Session 3
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 III: The Nuts and Bolts—EoC Business Operations and Governance \nOn How Such Businesses Function Like Businesses: Making Money and Codifying Social Purpose in Articles of Organization\, Bylaws\, and Other Governance Structures \nSpeakers \n\nKent Greenfield is an internationally recognized scholar of constitutional law and corporate governance and a law professor and Dean’s Distinguished Scholar at Boston College Law School.

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: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:James Whitman on Hitler's American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law
DESCRIPTION:We invite you for a conversation with James Q. Whitman\, Ford Foundation Professor of Comparative and Foreign Law at Yale Law School; Jed Shugerman\, professor of law at Fordham University; and Magda Teter\, Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies\, about Whitman’s book Hitler’s American Model: The United States and the Making of Nazi Race Law. \nWhitman’s timely book explores how American race law provided a blueprint for Nazi Germany. Nazism triumphed in Germany during the high era of Jim Crow laws in the United States. In Hitler’s American Model\, Whitman demonstrates the impact race laws in the United States\, such as Jim Crow\, anti-miscgenation laws\, and laws concerning American citizenship\, had on the notorious Nuremberg Laws\, the centerpiece anti-Jewish legislation of the Nazi regime. Linking American race laws to the shaping of Nazi policies in Germany\, Hitler’s American Model\, as Brent Staples noted in The New York Times\, “illustrates how German propagandists sought to normalize the Nazi agenda domestically by putting forth the United States as a model.” \nHarvard’s Lawrence Tribe praised the book as “a profound testament to what the past can teach us about the present.” Foreign Affairs called Hitler’s American Model one of the “Best Books of 2017.” According to Tulane’s Lawrence Powell\, Whitman’s book “is one of the most engrossing and disturbing pieces of legal history.” \nThis is a joint event of Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies; Fordham Law’s Institute of Religion\, Law\, and Lawyer’s Work; and the Center for Jewish Studies at CUNY-Graduate Center\, in collaboration with the New York Public Library and the Leo Baeck Institute.

SUMMARY:Rabbinic Law As Culture: How the Talmudic Rabbis Transformed Everything Into a Legal Question and Jewish Law into a Way of Talking About Everything
DESCRIPTION:Professor Chaim Saiman’s book\, “Halakhah: The Rabbinic Idea of Law\,” is a fascinating and original exposition of the unique nature of halakhah as a legal system. “Jewish Law\,” as it is usually translated\, is not only a guide to life\, but also an ongoing encounter with the divine; it is not just a body of regulations\, but a way of thinking\, being\, and knowing. \nProfessor Saiman will show how\, when pored over and studied\, even laws that can seem to provide no practical purpose can provide surprising insights into timeless questions about the very nature of human existence: What does it mean for legal analysis to connect humans to God? Can spiritual teachings remain meaningful even when rigorously codified? Can a modern state be governed by such law? \nSpeaker: Chaim N. Saiman\, professor of law\, Villanova University\, Pennsylvania\nResponses by: Saul Berman\, associate professor\, Yeshiva University\, and adjunct professor\, Columbia University Law School\nSarit Kattan Gribet\, assistant professor\, theology department\, Fordham University

SUMMARY:What Happened? Why? What Now?: Clergy Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church
DESCRIPTION:A distinguished panel of speakers will reflect on the ongoing Catholic clergy sexual abuse crises from their particular scholarly and professional vantage points—psychology\, law\, theology\, religious journalism\, and ethics. This conversation is especially timely in light of the recently released Pennsylvania Grand Jury report and a wider spate of revelations in the United States and around the world about clergy abuse and its concealment. By asking three fundamental questions—”What?” “Why?” and “What now?”—this event seeks to contribute to well-informed and effective responses by and from Catholics\, citizens\, and all who are impacted by this reality.
