January on CHQ Assembly

See what’s streaming on CHQ Assembly this January!  CHQ Assembly’s January 2024 Lineup  In January, we’re highlighting the 2023 Summer Assembly theme “Infrastructure: Building and Maintaining the Physical, Social and Civic Underpinnings of Society.”   Somewhere along the way, infrastructure becomes boring — the awe and joy with which a child greets the weekly garbage truck and hours spent on felt playmats of city streets give way to the “unsexy” business of routine maintenance and iterative improvements, of taxes and policy. Yet nothing remains more critical to our public lives than the evolution and safety of these systems. Join Chautauqua’s lecturers...

Happy Holidays From Chautauqua

Dear Chautauqua Family,  Lately, I’ve been thinking about the importance of being present and cherishing the special moments that define our lives. As I enter this holiday season, rich with traditions and rituals, I’m inspired to actively embrace the present moment. Let’s all take the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in our communities and families, welcoming the joy that surrounds us. I am particularly reminded of what a privilege it is to do so, with so much of our world struggling with violence and tragedy; those people and situations are also very present in my heart and prayers. In this...

December on CHQ Assembly

See what’s streaming on CHQ Assembly this December!  CHQ Assembly’s December 2023 Lineup  In December, we’re highlighting the 2023 Summer Assembly theme “The State of Believing.”   When we talk about the concept of “belief,” what do we mean? Some of our most deeply held beliefs aren’t just religious ones — they’re philosophical, political, intellectual, emotional. They can take the forms of faith and trust (or lack thereof) in institutions, or in each other. Join Chautauqua’s lecturers Almar Latour, Casper ter Kuile, Kate Bowler, Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi, Brian Greene, Simran Jeet Singh, Rev. Dr. Gary V. Simpson, Setti D. Warren, Tyler...

A Thanksgiving Message from President Michael E. Hill

Dear Chautauquans,  As we prepare to gather with friends and family for Thanksgiving Day, I am filled with gratitude as I reflect on the spirit of our beloved Chautauqua Institution.  In a year that has presented both challenges and triumphs, I am thankful for the resilience and strength our community has demonstrated in tandem with care and support. Chautauqua has always been a place of connection, learning, and inspiration, and in these times, we have leaned on these pillars to navigate the ever-changing landscape of our world.  I am grateful for the unwavering commitment of our patrons, staff, volunteers and...
