SUMMARY:Making Freedom Dreams Reality: Black Activism\, Constitutional Rights\, and the Ongoing Struggle for Liberation
DESCRIPTION:Fordham first celebrated Juneteenth\, also known as Freedom Day\, Jubilee Day\, Liberation Day\, and Emancipation Day\, in June 2020. Juneteenth commemorates June 19\, 1865\, when the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army General Gordon Granger proclaimed African Americans’ freedom from slavery in the state of Texas\, roughly two months after the official end of the Civil War.\nAccording to our featured guest\, historian Allison Dorsey\, Ph.D.\, the true value of Juneteenth lies not in the idea of the “celebration” of freedom\, but in the way the story of Juneteenth captures the tension between Black freedom dreams and the violent actions by white citizens\, bolstered by the state\, to deny those dreams. The Juneteenth holiday also offers everyone an opportunity to learn about Black hopes and aspirations—and equally important—Black actions to secure liberty during Reconstruction\, and throughout the 160 years since President Abraham Lincoln first issued the Emancipation Proclamation.\nJoin the lecture via Zoom.\nAbout the Speaker\nDorsey is professor emerita of history at Swarthmore College\, where her research and teaching interests include the history of African Americans\, the 20th-century Civil Rights Movement\, African American film\, and food history. She is the author of numerous publications\, including To Build Our Lives Together: Community Formation in Black Atlanta\, 1875-1906 (University of Georgia Press\, 2007)\, “The great cry of our people is land! Black Settlement and Community Development on Ossabaw Island\, Georgia\, 1865-1900\,” published in African American Life in the Georgia Lowcountry: The Atlantic World and the Gullah Geechee (University of Georgia Press\,2010)\, and “We’ve Taken Old Gods and Given Them New Names’: The Spirit of Sankofa in Daughters of the Dust\,” published in Writing History with Lightening: Cinematic Representations of Nineteenth Century America (Louisiana State University Press\, 2019).\nDorsey was also founding director of the Swarthmore Summer Scholars Program (S3P) from 2014 to 2017\, and has returned to research on black freedmen along the Georgia seacoast.

SUMMARY:International Conference on Social and Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:This conference seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas regarding social and environmental justice. Many complex challenges faced in local\, regional\, and international contexts and potential solutions will be presented during two days of keynote speeches and panel discussions. Many of us are aware of the problems; however\, there are rarely efforts to integrate different perspectives on justice issues in a way that can promote a deep\, societal shift in mindset and practices.

SUMMARY:Remembering: Talking About the Holocaust in the 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Fordham University and the Under-Told Stories Project of the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota\, in partnership with the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York\, invite you to a special observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. \nRecent surveys have shown steadily diminishing public awareness of the Holocaust amid a rise in disinformation and revisionism. This panel of leading thinkers will discuss how media\, educators\, religious institutions\, and governments can fight Holocaust denial and deepen understanding of the genocide. What is the role of allies? \nThe discussion will begin with a screening of Fred de Sam Lazaro’s 2022 PBS NewsHour segment on the children’s book Nicky & Vera: A Quiet Hero of the Holocaust and the Children He Rescued. Written and illustrated by Peter Sís\, it tells the story of Nicholas Winton\, the “British Schindler\,” who helped 669 children escape Czechoslovakia just before Nazi occupation. \nThe panelists will delve into the conditions that allowed the ripening and spread of antisemitism in the years leading up to the Holocaust\, and they will bring home the relevance of those circumstances today. \nModerators \n\nFred de Sam Lazaro\, correspondent/director\, The Under-Told Stories Project\nPeter Osnos\, founder\, PublicAffairs Books\n\nPanelists \n\nJudy Woodruff\, anchor\, PBS NewsHour\nMagda Teter\, Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies\, Fordham University\nJames Loeffler\, Jay Berkowitz Professor of Jewish History\, University of Virginia\nLinda Kinstler\, author\, Come to This Court and Cry: How the Holocaust Ends\n\nSpecial Guest: Eva Paddock\, Educator and One of “Winton’s Children” Rescued from Czechoslovakia on the Eve of World War II \nA reception will follow the discussion at 7 p.m.

SUMMARY:Academic Discourse and Freedom of Expression on Campus
DESCRIPTION:This is the eighth and final event in Speech Acts\, a series of talks at Fordham University focusing on questions related to free speech\, political polarization\, the place of truth in an age of social media\, and related topics. \nFree speech on university campuses is a matter that is\, in some sense quite simple\, but in many ways complex. This panel will consider a variety of issues involving student and faculty speech\, including the questions below. Please join us for this important panel! \nMany universities regulate student hateful or offensive speech\, but in what way? What associational rights should students have on campus\, such as the formation of student groups with university recognition\, and physical spaces on campus for group members to meet without having to be open to non-members? What limits\, if any\, should there be on student groups inviting outside speakers? May universities insist that faculty speak (or not speak) in certain ways in the classroom? That faculty include (or not include) certain materials in the curriculum? How should and may universities respond to faculty who speak to a public audience outside of their official campus teaching duties (say\, on Twitter) but to another audience on campus\, particularly when teaching? Specifically: May universities discipline faculty for egregious speech on social media when the faculty member is not repeating such speech with students? \nFeatured Speakers \n\nSigal Ben-Porath\, University of Pennsylvania\nRadhika Sainath\, Palestine Legal\nDennis Tyler\, Fordham University\nRafael Zapata\, Fordham University\nModerator: Abner Greene\, professor\, Fordham Law

SUMMARY:The Quality of Mercy: Justice\, Forgiveness\, and Public Discourse—Debating Repentance and Redemption in an Era of “Cancel Culture”
DESCRIPTION:Critics across the political spectrum are decrying a new wave of censoriousness and intolerance in American society: a “cancel culture” that they say inhibits public discourse and development. But is the heart of the problem also spiritual and religious? Are we witnessing a kind of “neo-Puritanism” that has deep roots in U.S. culture? And can religious traditions point a way toward a solution? Can we recover the practices of repentance\, forgiveness\, and redemption that are central to the great spiritual teachings? \nThis panel of distinguished writers and scholars examines the state of America’s soul and remedies for our current predicament. \nPanelists \n\nThe Rev. Charles Howard is the University Chaplain at the University of Pennsylvania and a widely published writer who sees his vocation as working for “a communal increase in joy\, peace\, justice\, and love.”\nRabbi Danya Ruttenberg\, of the National Council of Jewish Women\, is an award-winning author whose latest book\, to be published in fall 2022\, is titled On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World.\nStephen Pope is a professor of theology at Boston College and a popular speaker who teaches and writes regularly on issues of mercy and forgiveness.\n\nDavid Gibson\, director of Fordham’s Center on Religion and Culture\, will moderate the discussion\, including questions from the online audience

SUMMARY:The Promise and Limits of Our First Amendment
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next panel event in Fordham University’s Speech Acts series. The First Amendment limits “state action”—what the government may and may not do—but not private action. In the context of increasing concentration of private speech power\, such as powerful social media platforms that are not governed by the First Amendment\, this panel discussion will consider defenses for and critiques of the state action doctrine\, along with comparative approaches. The discussion will also consider whether our robust constitutional free speech protections go too far in some instances\, failing to properly consider certain harms caused by speech. \nFeatured Speakers\nMary Anne Franks\, University of Miami\nGenevieve Lakier\, University of Chicago\nJulie Suk\, Fordham University\nNelson Tebbe\, Cornell University \nModerator\nAbner Greene\, Fordham University
