Dear FCLC students,

As President Tetlow reminded us in her email celebrating Diwali, we are now in a holiday season when many of the world’s faith traditions encourage us to revel in the “triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.” Holiday lights are ablaze around NYC, and more will be illuminating every corner of the city between now and the end of the year. For a quick guide to some of the most impressive displays in Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Manhattan – many of which can be enjoyed for free – please click here.

Intern Eligibility Requirements

The Bronx Jewish History Project (BJHP)
The Bronx Jewish History Project (BJHP) has received an Arts and Sciences Deans' Faculty Challenge Grant. The BJHP, now directed by Professor Daniel Soyer, is a local history project dedicated to bringing to light the experiences of Jews in the Bronx through oral histories and artifacts. You can read about the origins of the project here and here and watch past events related to the BJHP here on the CJS's YouTube Channel.

The BJHP is organized through the Center for Jewish Studies, and, so far, several dozen oral histories (accessible here) have been recorded and transcribed by Fordham graduate student in education Sophia Maier and undergraduate Reyna Stovall. These interviews provide a wealth of information concerning a variety of issues, from Jewish family and communal life to education to interracial and interethnic relations to why people chose to leave a place that was so formative to them. 

Now, with the help of an Arts and Sciences Deans’ Faculty Challenge Grant, the Project will be able to expand its staff and step up the pace of its work. This year, the project will engage eight undergraduates and two graduate students in the work of gathering and editing oral histories and will offer a workshop for the ten students with an experienced oral historian. 

In addition to attending a two-hour workshop in January, student workers will each conduct up to five interviews, and edit up to five (different) interviews. The total time commitment will be about 32 hours during the spring semester. (This is a maximum estimate. Of course, a lot depends on how each interview goes, which is impossible to predict with precision.) Undergraduates will receive $15/hour, graduate students $21/hour.

Fordham students interested in applying to be a part of the BJHP can submit an application here. If you have any questions about this opportunity, please be in touch with Professor Soyer at soyer@fordham.edu.

Closing the Digital Divide 
November 17 | 5 - 7 pm | Zoom 
When was the last time you left home without your phone? In our world, access to digital technology is critical to everyday activities like work, school, health care, and socializing. However, despite the importance of technology, many across the globe have little or no access, creating a digital divide. 

Today, closing the digital divide is increasingly important, especially for those of us in the social work and health professions. The Fordham Institute of Women and Girls and the International Health Awareness Network have selected global speakers from business, the healthcare industry, schools, libraries, IT, and social work to address this issue and offer some solutions. Join us to hear their ideas and suggest some new ones!

Continuing Education: Grief—Ours and Theirs
November 29 | 5:30-7:30 pm | Zoom
This interactive workshop will explore the impact that our cumulative experiences of grief have on our personal and professional lives. Using the framework of the National Consensus Project Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care, we’ll explore how our cultural backgrounds and past losses influence our understanding and expression of grief. Although caring for those who are seriously ill exposes us to a multitude of losses, few healthcare settings offer a safe place to process these powerful feelings—and few clinicians have had training in grief and bereavement. Social workers may find that they are expected to provide comfort to both families and colleagues without access to care for themselves. Strategies to address these complex and interconnected issues will be explored, with tools and resources provided.

Book Launch: Emanuel Fiano’s Three Powers in Heaven: The Emergence of Theology and the Parting of the Ways
November 30 | 6-8:30 pm | McMahon 109 (Lincoln Center)
How, when, and why did Judaism and Christianity diverge into separate religions? Three Powers in Heaven reinterprets the parting of the ways between Jews and Christians as a split between two intellectual traditions—a split that emerged within the context of ancient debates about Jesus’ relationship to God and the world. The book explores how Christianity moved away from Judaism through the development of new practices for religious inquiry. By demonstrating that the constitution of communal borders coincided with the elaboration of different methods for producing knowledge about the divine, the author shows that theological controversies often thought to teach us nothing beyond the history of dogma can cast light on the broader religious landscape of late antiquity.

Arabic Script Calligraphy Workshop
December 2 | 10am - 4pm | Visual Arts Center Room SL 24E (Lincoln Center) 
Join us for an Arabic Script Calligraphy Workshop in the Visual Arts Center (Room SL 24E) at the Lincoln Center Campus. Registration is required ($90 fee, $25 for materials). Fordham students will receive a 50% discount (during registration use code: FORDHAMSTDT2023).

For his Lincoln Center debut, Freily eL F' will be joined by a full band to celebrate the release of his 2023 album Unplugged Volume 1, featuring the hit single "La Guerra".

Marcus Middleton's Calling Me Home: A Visual Ode to the Low Country
November 18-20
Photographer Marcus Middleton's parents grew up on Wadmalaw Island in Charleston, South Carolina, adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. First settled by the British in the 15th century, the Island has long been a home for tea gardens but otherwise remains relatively unspoiled by progress. "The only way to get to the Island by land is the Esau Jenkins Bridge," says Middleton. "Crossing over it is like going back in time." Calling Me Home: A Visual Ode to the Low Country is Middleton's visual tribute to what he calls his "living museum." His portfolio of photographs, available to view on short-term display at the David Rubenstein Atrium, captures a visual ode to the American South that is turbulent and beautiful, transplanted to the heart of New York City.

La Banda Chuska
November 21 | 7:30 pm
La Banda Chuska merges the sounds of vintage Peruvian cumbia and psychedelic chicha with 1960s Latin American and Middle Eastern surf rock. They then add a dose of the surreal intensity of New York City to amplify their diverse musical and cultural backgrounds: Peru, Argentina, Puerto Rico, and various corners of the U.S. The result is a fireball of post-punk energy and subversive playfulness, a sort of tropical funk meets The B-52s. La Banda Chuska's self-titled EP is a darkly cinematic, musically expansive, and eminently danceable weirdo party on wax that's whipped up the fanbase they attract at regular performances at Brooklyn's Barbés and other NYC music mainstays. For their Lincoln Center debut, they'll play songs from their first EP and introduce new cuts from their forthcoming LP.

MOMI MOVIEHOUSE: THE COMPLETE HEPBURN & GRANT
Through December 16 | Museum of the Moving Image; 36-01 35 Ave, Astoria, NY 11106
Museum of the Moving Image is dedicating much of their fall slate of Moviehouse to the collaborations of screen legends Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant in honor of the 85th anniversary of two of their most beloved films. But there’s simply never a wrong occasion for these timeless screwball comedies. In addition to those two 1938 classics, Howard Hawks’s Bringing Up Baby and George Cukor’s Holiday, they’ll also present their first film and last films together, Sylvia Scarlett and The Philadelphia Story—both directed by Cukor. Somehow, all were completed in the short window between 1935 and 1940. Tickets are available for purchase here.

We Tried to Warn You! Environmental Crisis Posters, 1970–2020
Through February 25 | Poster House; 119 W. 23rd Street New York, NY 10011
Every poster in this exhibition is a failure—not in the sense that they failed in their graphic intent of communicating a message, but rather that they failed to successfully modify behavior. Almost all of the environmental issues showcased in these posters remain or have worsened. Nevertheless, these impactful images have shaped the bounds of public debate on environmental issues, drawing attention to distinct and particular concerns. While these highlighted narratives have increased the visibility of environmental crises, they have historically masked systemic causes of these problems and ignored structural inequalities. They have also relied heavily on a clear visual culture associated with most environmental poster messaging—what one critic labeled “gas masks and honeybees”—creating a graphic sameness regardless of country or issue. This exhibition avoids these tropes, charting a global history of environmental activism through posters, ranging in style from whimsical to apocalyptic. Museum entry is free every Friday and student discounted tickets for other days of the week are $8 and can be purchased here. 

Rirkrit Tiravanija: A LOT OF PEOPLE
Through March 4 | MoMA PS1; 22-25 Jackson Avenue Queens, NY 11101
From the start of his practice, a critical material for Rirkrit Tiravanija (Thai, b. 1961) has been the presence of “a lot of people”—a purposefully broad and expansive term that stands as an open invitation to everyone and anyone, present and future. His largest exhibition to date, Rirkrit Tiravanija: A LOT OF PEOPLE traces four decades of the artist’s career and features over 100 works, from early experimentations with installation and film, to works on paper, photographs, ephemera, sculptures, and newly produced “plays” of key participatory pieces. Extending across our second-floor galleries, lobby, and Courtyard, the exhibition includes rarely seen early works that address his experiences as an immigrant with a palpable sense of “otherness” in a Western-centric art world, alongside more recent series that tackle global politics and the quotidian news cycle. Critical to the evolution of recent art in New York City and worldwide, Tiravanija’s interdisciplinary practice has been transnational in scope, engaging notions of cultural difference, interrogating the parameters of place, and negotiating how people can come together. Tickets to MoMA PS1 are suggested admission. You may book an online ticket at the full suggested admission price, or reserve a “Pay what you wish” ticket online and make a donation onsite or online.

Something Beautiful: Reframing La Colección
Through March 10 | El Museo Del Barrio; 1230 5th Avenue at 104th Street New York, NY 10029
Something Beautiful: Reframing La Colección is El Museo del Barrio’s most ambitious presentation of its unique, complex, and culturally diverse permanent collection in over two decades. Organized by Rodrigo Moura, Chief Curator; Susanna V. Temkin, Curator; and Lee Sessions, Permanent Collection Associate Curator, the exhibition will present approximately 500 artworks, including new acquisitions and artist commissions, through rotating displays over the course of one year. Something Beautiful cuts across traditional chronological, geographic, and media-specific categories, reconsidering the Collection through new interdisciplinary approaches rooted in El Museo del Barrio’s foundational history and legacy. This forward-thinking model focuses on the contribution of Amerindian, African, and European cultures as the basis of visual production in the Americas and the Caribbean. Student discounted tickets are $5 and can be purchased here.
