October 10 | 5-6:30 pm | Flom Auditorium, Walsh Library (Rose Hill) Join Sophie Loidolt (TU Darmstadt) and Dan Zahavi (University of Copenhagen) in a discussion about Edmund Husserl, the principal founder of phenomenology. While he is neither known as a political philosopher nor as an intellectual who publicly expressed his political views, this should not lead us to think that Husserl himself or his thoughts were completely “unpolitical.” This talk will explore two distinctive aspects of Husserl’s approach to politics. Black Studies and Jewish Studies in Conversation: ‘Memory, Heritage, and Material Remains’ October 11 | 1-1-:30 pm | Zoom 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. Ana 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.

While an academic talk, we are very lucky to hear from Chapnin's perspective as a Russian journalist who has spoken out against the policies of the Russian Orthodox Church. The conversation will be followed by a Q&A session and food will be available. Presented by Fordham’s Orthodox Christian Fellowship and Fordham's Ukrainian Society. All are invited to attend! Please register in advance. Voices Up!

Book Talk: All Oppression Shall Cease
October 12 | 12:30-1:45 p.m. | Zoom 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. Father Kellerman concludes with theological reflections on history, reconciliation, and restitution. The 272: The Families who were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church October 12 | 5:30 pm | Tognino Hall, Duane Library (Rose Hill) Rachel Swarns will discuss her new book, The 272, which follows one family through nearly two centuries of indentured servitude and enslavement to illuminate the harrowing origin story of Georgetown University and the Catholic Church in the United States. Through the saga of the Mahoney family, Swarns illustrates how the Church relied on slave labor and slave sales in Maryland to sustain its operations and to help finance its expansion. Torn apart by a Jesuit slave sale in 1838 and reunited by Swarns’ reporting in 2016, the Mahoney descendants have joined other GU272 descendants who have pressed Georgetown and the Catholic Church to make amends, prodding the institutions to break new ground in the movement for reparations and reconciliation in America. Free, but registration is required. Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice October 28-30 | Washington, DC Applications OPEN NOW at this link. The Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ) is an annual gathering for members of the Ignatian family (Jesuit institutions and larger church) to come together in the context of social justice and solidarity to learn, reflect, pray, network, and advocate together. It is a place where people are empowered, re-energized, inspired, challenged, and supported by a community that sees faith and justice integrally linked. Now in its 28th year, the IFTJ has a rich history rooted in honoring the Jesuits and their companions who were martyred in El Salvador in 1989.

October 5 | 7:30 pm Considered "a musician of extreme caliber and pure expression" by the Daily Star UK, the adventurous Lebanese pianist Rami Khalifé presents work that is as eclectic as it is bold, ranging from improvised concerts, original film soundtracks, reimagined electronic club music with his AUFGANG project, and live tours with his father, the famed composer and oud player Marcel Khalifé. Rami's musical perambulations have led him to classical training at Juilliard; solos with Globalis Orchestra, the Qatar Philharmonic, the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia; live performances at the Kennedy Center, the Sydney Opera House, and Queen Elizabeth Hall; and over a half dozen albums. As part of the Festival of Firsts, Khalifé will premiere his latest work, LOST, Return to Beirut, at the David Rubenstein Atrium. J Noa October 6 | 7:30 pm As the title of the Dominican Hip-Hop artist J Noa's 2023 major label debut EP attests, the Latin GRAMMY nominee has always been a self-starter. Autodidactica is a blazing-hot introduction to the San Cristobal rapper's considerable gifts: tongue-tying rhymes, nonstop bars, and the skills to switch up her flow from heartbeat to heartbeat. Spanish-speakers will be equally impressed by J Noa's intricate lyricism and poignantly relevant social and political statements on drug addiction, bucking racism and homophobia, and clap backs at local government mismanagement. Don't miss the Lincoln Center premiere of the international star Rolling Stone is calling "a juggernaut." North Star: Conversations on Boundlessness Brooklyn native and visual artist Kambui Olujimi invites you to a two-day symposium inciting provocations at the boundaries of science and art. Over the last four years, Olujimi has worked on a transmedia project entitled North Star that recontextualizes sites of blackness and Black bodies within history, science, and contemporary art. North Star subverts notions of a Black body constructed from the "inescapable" gravity of oppression and instead explores the innate state of Black Rhapsody and asks; “What does the Black body look like in zero gravity?” This two-day symposium is an artist convening that will create discourse intersecting with concepts and theories of the North Star Project. The symposium includes panel discussions with leading artists, scientists, and scholars; performances by poets, musicians, and dancers; and the world premiere screening of Olujimi's North of Never film. Saturday, October 7, 2023
Symposium: 12:30–6:30 pm Film screening: 8:00 pm Sunday, October 8, 2023 Symposium: 12:30–6:30 pm Live DJ dance party: 8:00 pm Latinx Heritage Month events

Schwarzman Building, 42nd Street & 5th Avenue New York, NY 10018 In his new book, Héctor Tobar writes that the feeling of being ni de aqui ni de alla—from neither here nor there—is the fundamental paradox of latinidad. The son of Guatemalan immigrants, he uses the details of his own life and the broader past of Latinos in America to examine the impacts of colonialism, public policy, immigration, and pop culture as they relate to arguably the most open-ended and loosely defined of the major race categories in the United States. Tobar discusses the long, complicated story of the historical and social forces that define Latino identity. In-person admission is free and you can register online. The event will also be livestreamed.
