The first webinar will feature Fordham alumna Samantha Slattery. \nThe 21st century is one that will be defined by the cascading effects of interdependent crises. Humanitarian needs are skyrocketing\, while the international community reckons with its own shortcomings. It will be the work of the rising generation to meet this human suffering in a variety of ways\, introducing skillful means that reflect their diverse experiences and passions. \nWe want any student at Fordham who is interested in the series to attend. The idea here is to highlight a path for anyone\, with any background\, to get into the work\, knowing very well the collaboration of disciplines is a strength and requirement of the sector.

This year our Passover will be different from all other Passovers—with more questions to share at real and virtual Seder tables. \nThat’s why we’re pleased to announce that the discussion between Magda Teter\, Ph.D.\, of Fordham University and Sara Lipton of SUNY Stony Brook about Teter’s new book\, Blood Libel: On the Trail of Antisemitic Myth\, will happen online via Zoom\, right before Passover on April 7 at 4 p.m. \nThe book explores the medieval myth that Jews murder Christian children to use their blood—and its surprising persistence over centuries\, cultures\, and continents. The invention and development of printed media contributed to widespread dissemination of the myth\, turning it into a “persistent template of hate”: from mid-12th-century monastic manuscripts to a Facebook group titled\, “Jewish Ritual Murder\,” shut down in 2014\, and beyond. \nTeter is the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies and a professor of history at Fordham. Her work focuses on early modern religious and cultural history\, with emphasis on Jewish-Christian relations\, the politics of religion\, and transmission of culture among Jews and Christians across Europe in the early modern period. She published numerous articles and books in English\, Polish\, Italian\, and Hebrew. Teter was recently appointed the 2020-2021 National Endowment for the Humanities Senior Fellow at the Center for Jewish History\, and she will be working on her current research project\, “The Dissemination and Uses of the Jewish Past: The Role of The Present in The Production and Politics of History.” \nLipton is a professor of history at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Her work focuses on religious identity and experience\, Jewish-Christian relations\, and art and culture in the high and later Middle Ages 11th–15th centuries. Her book\, Dark Mirror: The Medieval Origins of Anti-Semitic Iconography examines how changes in Christian devotion and politics affected the visual representation of the Jew. It explains the emergence of the iconographically identifiable Jew around the year 1080 and brings theoretical coherence to the dizzying proliferation of images of Jews in subsequent centuries. Lipton’s current project\, “The Vulgate of Experience: Art and Preaching in the High Middle Ages (1180–1300)\,” explores why and to what effect Christendom invested so much in worshiping the ineffable Word through the material thing.
