This special event featured music and art that evokes American historical and cultural themes. Patricia Garcia Gil, postdoctoral associate and artist in residence at the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards, discussed and performed music by lesser-known American women composers on the Center’s Hazleton Brothers square piano, made in New York circa 1850. These compositions commemorate events including the War of 1812, the Marquis de Lafayette’s visit to the United States in 1824, the 1853 New York World’s Exhibition, and the American Civil War, as well as sentimental subjects and the American landscape. Andrew C. Weislogel, the Seymour R. Askin, Jr. ’47 Curator of Earlier European and American Art at the Museum, offered context for the musical selections with popular American prints by Winslow Homer and other artists. Cosponsored by the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards.

The symposium was made possible through the generous support of the Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation.The first session, “Framing the Divine: Visualizing Devotion in the Spanish Americas,” was moderated by Ananda Cohen-Aponte (Cornell University).Presentations at the first session were: “Trent as Compass: Directions, Circuits, and Crossings of the Visual and Canonical in Spanish America,” Cristina Cruz González (Oklahoma State University); “Invisible Soldiers and Constant Servants: The Pre-Hispanic Roots of the Andean Cult of Angels,” Maya Stanfield-Mazzi (University of Florida); and “Framing Miracles for a New World: The Oval,” Jennifer Baez (University of Washington).
In this conversation, Nigerian American artist and poet Precious Okoyomon discusses their work, on view in the Johnson Museum exhibition “Precious Okoyomon: The Sky Measures Little,” with Stacey A. Langwick (Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology) and Antonio DiTommaso (Professor, School of Integrative Plant Science, Soil and Crop Sciences Section and Associate Director, Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station). The exhibition was inspired in part by Okoyomon’s extended research and teaching engagements with Cornell students, faculty, and staff as the Johnson Museum’s first Migrations Visiting Artist in 2022. This program and the exhibition were developed in conjunction with the Migrations Global Grand Challenge, part of Global Cornell, with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s Just Futures Initiative.
Master calligrapher and contemporary artist Hakim Karimzada discussed his work in conversation with Dr. Seema Golestaneh, associate professor in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University. Born in Afghanistan in 1972, Karimzada is known for bold and daring pieces that express his own experience of migration. For him, calligraphy celebrates his beloved hometown of Herat and through it he introduces the ancient culture and civilization of its people. The exhibition “Hakim Karimzada: Herat and Me” was on view at the Johnson Museum of Art June 6–September 15, 2024. Dr. Golestaneh’s research is situated at the nexus of anthropology and religious studies. Her current project investigates the dreams and aspirations of Afghan intellectuals in the late 1980s and ’90s for forms of government and collectivity that did not come to pass. Support for this program was provided by the Stoikov Asian Art Lecture Fund.
This special event was held in celebration of “Colonial Crossings: Art, Identity, and Belief in the Spanish America” (July 20–December 15, 2024), the first exhibition of colonial Latin American art at Cornell. The works of art and student research from the Spring 2024 course that developed the exhibition recognize the creative agency and resilience of Indigenous, Black, and mixed-race artists during a tumultuous historical period bookended by conquest and revolution, and consider the profound impact of colonization, evangelization, and the transatlantic slave trade in the visual culture of the Spanish empire. Andrew Weislogel, the Seymour R. Askin, Jr. ’47 Curator of Earlier European and American Art at the Johnson Museum, and Juliana Fagua Arias, PhD student in the History of Art, provide a brief overview of the exhibition’s conception, development, and resulting research.
The Smith Family Business Initiative celebrates a decade of service in September, 2024. This video provides a brief but comprehensive introduction to the people behind the SFBI and the generations who continue to learn and build on their families' work.
Suzanne Shu’s research often focuses on decumulation, and the work discussed here is specifically interested in the strategies and thinking behind the spending of retirement resources. For example, the age at which a person begins claiming Social Security benefits can have a profound effect on their lifetime income (the younger you are when you claim, the less you receive). In this video, Shu discusses her paper, “What Motivates Social Security Claiming Age Intentions?” which is featured in the latest edition of Research with Impact. “How do we get people to think about this decision and choose what’s best for them in their retirement? We found that the interventions that had the greatest impact on intended claiming age…were those that suggested that delaying claiming might be a good choice in terms of a norm that other people would recommend.” Read more about SC Johnson College of Business faculty and research here.
“Strategy can serve as a foundation to rigorously answer important questions in a changing business landscape,” says Sarah Wolfolds, but strategic management scholars have been limited in the data available to them. In this video, Wolfolds discusses research done with Daniela Scur on the use of the World Management Survey, an abundant source of robust, verified data. The WMS is free and accessible, and offers data of “incredible breadth and scale,” allowing for replication exercises, which are key to refining and reinforcing the theories that are most supported in practice.

The Farm-to-School (FTS) movement in the United States began in the 1990s, in response to student health concerns and growing interest in local food policies. FTS projects have been widely supported by policy makers at state and federal levels, yet many of the outcomes of this inflow of policy and funding remain unclear, often due to insufficient data. With detailed food purchasing numbers from Buffalo City Schools (the second largest district in the state and the largest to qualify for enhanced reimbursement), Schmit et al estimate the gross and net economic impacts of the policy through a customized input–output model, and they observe clear shifts in food spending categories that suggest changes in what and where foods were purchased.

“How do we put ethics into economics? You might think that it’s already there, but it isn’t. Ethics is conspicuously absent in economic models, and this is not an oversight. It draws on a tradition in economics that markets work best when rational agents all act in their own self-interest.” Noting that ethics can be seen as a last resort, O’Hara and her co-author David Easley explore this issue in their 2023 paper “Financial Market Ethics,” which is featured in the latest edition of Research with Impact.

Andrew Karolyi, Charles Field Knight Dean of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, delivered this keynote address to the 2024 Eighth Annual Shanghai Green Finance Conference. In this talk, Andrew Karolyi discusses global biodiversity loss risk. Providing data on species decline and sources measuring the dependency of GDP on nature and its services, Karolyi provides figures on the funding needed to prevent biodiversity loss, as well on the funding currently being employed. There’s a significant gap between the two. Karolyi points to specific targets and commitments that have been set mobilizing public and private capital. In 2024, Karolyi and colleague John Tobin-de la Puente published the paper A Call for Biodiversity Finance, showing the accelerating loss of biodiversity on earth and the growing need for financial flows to be directed toward arresting these losses. They document the financing gap and then provide a framework and open research questions for financial economists to pursue in supporting sustainable biodiversity management.Read more about SC Johnson College of Business faculty and research here.
Andrew Karolyi, Charles Field Knight Dean of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, delivered this special address to the 2024 Eighth Annual Shanghai Green Finance Conference. Concerns about ESG investing reveal that ESG is subjective, and ESG performance is difficult to substantiate through measurement and comparison. In this talk, Andrew Karolyi discusses accelerating growth in assets related to sustainability, and shares the results of a survey on the impact of sustainable investing. Overall, he and his colleagues find wide variation and confusion about best practices in the integration of ESG into valuation. New regulations are on the horizon, however, and Karolyi et al. stress the need for a “better valuation framework to integrate ESG that emphasizes modeling and forecasting cash flows over discount rates.” Read more about SC Johnson College of Business faculty and research here.
Suzanne Shu, Professor and Dean of Faculty and Research at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, introduces the latest group of faculty research videos. Shu says these videos “represent the curiosity and discovery that our faculty are out in the world doing, and that our research crosses boundaries way beyond what a typical business school includes.”Read more about SC Johnson College of Business faculty and research here.
“Banks are exposed to financial and reputation risks when lending to polluting borrowers,” says Emma Wang, introducing her recent paper Public environmental enforcement and private lender monitoring: Evidence from environmental covenants. Joint efforts between public and private sectors to reduce corporate pollution are active, but results remain unclear. The authors study the importance of sustainable finance in achieving green environment goals, and whether and how public environmental enforcement affects private lenders’ monitoring efforts and their effectiveness.Read more about SC Johnson College of Business faculty and research here.
