From the Chief Research Officer

The Office of Research (OR) is thrilled with the

good news we would like to share. The Fordham

research enterprise is strong and growing in a

very positive direction. The commitment of our

faculty towards more complex and inter-

disciplinary research is very exciting. We ap-

plaud your commitment to the work you do, and

we wish you continued success in your chosen

fields of research.

We have added two new items of this newsletter

in an effort to disseminate research findings

effectively:

External Awards Spotlight – we profile

faculty’s recent external grants and awards

Research News Highlights – we provide links

to published online stories

In addition, we would like to call to your

attention to two other very significant events —

one from last summer and the other that will be

taking place in summer 2020:

Faculty Research Abroad Program (FRAP) in

London -- June 2019

Strategic Consortia Kick-off Event

Fordham has established two new Strategic Research Consortia: Global Studies and Disability. The Office of Research organized the kick-off event, September 18, 2019, to celebrate their “birthday.” Dr. Oswaldo Benavides, director of the Global Studies Consortium, and Dr. Sophie Mitra, director of the Consortium on Disability each introduced their mission, infrastructure, and plan for the Consortia. In addition, a third already established consortium on Digital Scholarship reported on the planning for their first three-day conference entitled the “Mapping (In)Justice Symposium.”

The NEH Conducts a Workshop at Fordham

On October 23, 2019, the Office of Sponsored Programs hosted a workshop led by Dr. Claudia Kinkela and Dr. Judith Adkins, senior officers of the National Endowment for the Humanities's (NEH) Division of Research. The morning workshop, held in Flom Auditorium, began with an overview of NEH programs and included a segment on strategies for writing successful proposals. A mock panel followed in which four Fordham faculty members--Dr. John Bugg, Dr. Sarit Kattan-Gribetz, Dr. Barbara Mundy, and Dr. W. David Myers--discussed the pros and cons of three proposals funded by the NEH. The audience of 25 included Fordham faculty and faculty from NYU and Lehman College, who participated fully in the final question and answer session. Ms. Beth Torres, Grants Officer, organized and facilitated the workshop.

Faculty Research Abroad Program (FRAP)

FRAP, London – June 2019

Twenty-three Fordham faculty, staff, students and administrators participated in the Faculty Research Abroad Program in London from June 2 to 6, 2019. They have devel-oped research collaborations with Birkbeck, University of London and other British universities through presenting research papers at the International Symposium on Digital Scholarship, research field trip, and one-on-one research discussion. They are planning to develop joint digital projects, research papers, conference presentations, and grant proposals.

At the reunion and research forum held on the Rose Hill campus on October 29, 2019, those attending heard research progress reports from the teams many of whom continue to work closely with their research partners in the UK.

Faculty Research Abroad Program (FRAP)

The next FRAP (Faculty Research Abroad Programs) will take place in Rio de Janiero June 14 – 21, 2020. Jesuit partner Pontificia Universidade Catholica – Rio (PUC-Rio) will host this conference and research collaboration with a focus on Global Studies.

We continue to select varied research foci on each FRAP. For example, in 2018 we con-ducted comparative urban studies between NYC and Tokyo at Sophia University, a Jesu-it University in Japan. Just this past summer the focus was on digital scholarship at Uni-versity of London. We are very excited to explore global studies as the focus in Rio this summer.

Listed below are the faculty participants in the summer of 2020. They are recruiting five student participants now.

External Awards Spotlight

Daniel Alexander Jones

Multi-Disciplinary Artist Wins a Guggenheim

Daniel Alexander Jones is a Fordham Associate Professor, and an artist who expresses his creativity via multiple art forms, including theatre, the visual arts, and music. Among his many awards, this year he received a Guggenheim. Here he discusses his reactions to receiving it, and his vision as an inter-disciplinary artist.

You won a Guggenheim Award. Why were you awarded, and why is it important? I am thrilled to be in such prestigious company as one of this year's recipients. I experience it as an affirmation of the circuitous journey I have been on as a professional artist for the last 25 years. The Guggenheim Fellowship supports scholarship and/or creative practice through its generous awards – and Fordham made it possible for me to devote significant time this year to my upcoming project. I was awarded specifically to undertake a new large-scale performance piece. I am currently deep in research mode and I just had the first set of explorations with my core collaborators. What is the impulse behind your very varied artistic pursuits? The variety in my creative projects springs from my desire to experience and communicate beyond the bounds of my current knowledge, and the limitations of my habits. Live performance can be created as a temporary site for intentional public practice of vulnerable presence. These performances can also engage our capacities as co-imaginers and co-creators of generative space for transformative civic conversation. What drives my work is my commitment to using this capacity to engage the charged subject matter of our times, and to do so in inti-mate collaboration with others. What recent work inspires you the most? In terms of someone else’s work? The resurgence of visual artist Betye Saar! Long a personal inspiration, it is a thrill to see her in her 90s finally receive the depth of recognition she has long deserved through major exhibitions in NYC and LA. She once wrote, “It may not be possible to convey to someone else that mysterious, transforming gift by which dreams, memory, and experience become art… But I like to think I try.” In terms of my work, my performance piece Black Light which had two runs in NY last year, and toured this year, came the closest yet in my work to achieving that gift Saar describes.

Editor's Note: In this new section of the OR Newsletter, we interview some of the Fordham

faculty who have won outstanding external grants. We are particularly interested in putting

our spotlight on these faculty members' research purposes, plans, and expected outcomes.

Taking Responsibility

Jesuit Educational Institutions Confront The Causes and Legacy of Sexual Abuse

An Initiative of Fordham University

Recently, the Fordham Theology Department and Curran Center for American Catholic Studies received external foundation support for a two-year project on one of the most important issues facing the Catholic Church and Jesuit institutions of higher learning, the implications of the clergy sexual abuse crises. We asked the Fordham research team the following questions, and received these responses: What is the main purpose of this project?

The purpose of the Fordham Initiative is to explore the relationship between the struc-tures of Roman Catholic and Jesuit institutions of secondary and higher education and the phenomena of clergy sexual abuse and its systematic concealment. Our goal is to help Jesuit institutions become recognized leaders in research and practice concerning child and youth protection. Through research and partnerships, we hope to contribute to creating conditions for institutional transparency and mutual accountability. The Initiative’s work aims to serve and strengthen Jesuit institutions’ efforts to develop not only policies, but also cultures, relationships and structures, which will ensure that past harms are faced and addressed, and that responsibilities for the protection and well-being of children and vulnerable persons are collectively embraced and vigorously fulfilled. How will you achieve your objectives, and what are the expected outcomes?

The Initiative involves two interrelated efforts. First, a team of Fordham researchers will compile, analyze, evaluate and synthesize existing knowledge about clergy sex abuse; carry out original, interdisciplinary research; and make the fruits of this work widely available to institutional leaders and practitioners, scholars, and the public. Second, Fordham will invite partnerships with and award subgrants to other U.S. Jesuit institutions for projects addressing the sexual abuse crises in their particular contexts. With these partners, and in consultation with representatives of relevant constituencies including victim-survivors, we will build a learning, impact-enhancing network with other sibling Jesuit institutions, and national and international Jesuit educational associations.

How will you go about telling the Fordham community and the world about this important research as it progresses and at its conclusion?

The insight gained from this original research and from networking with partner institu-tions will enable the initiative to identify and to recommend methods and strategies, in-cluding changes in culture and policy. The objective is that Jesuit educational institutions will address the harms caused by sexual abuse and its concealment, and will ensure the safety and wellbeing of young people. Researchers will marshal existing and new studies into formats accessible to institutional leaders, as well as disseminate pertinent know-ledge and best practices. Through regular meetings and public events, partner institu-tions will undertake and share results of their own projects and research. A publicly accessible website will communicate and memorialize the work of the initiative over the longer term.

Most experiments are designed, conducted, and interpreted by

humans. Researching how failed or “marginally successful” research

results can help build machine learning models that may discover new

experiments that are not subject to human biases.
