SUMMARY:Paige Alexander
DESCRIPTION:Paige Alexander serves as chief executive officer of The Carter Center\, a nonprofit organization founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter to advance peace and health worldwide. She joins the Chautauqua Lecture Series in a week exploring “The Global Rise of Authoritarianism” to discuss evolving threats to democracy worldwide\, and how The Carter Center works to address those threats.  \nAlexander joined the Center in 2020 at a pivotal time for the organization and the country. In her first year\, Alexander led the organization through the COVID-19 pandemic and a period of national social upheaval\, while envisioning a path forward for The Carter Center as it transitioned from an organization that was founder-led to one that is guided by its founders’ principles. Since that time\, Alexander has strengthened the Center’s core peace and health programs and led the organization in new directions\, including adding programs to address: the global mental health crisis; political polarization in the United States; and the impact of climate change on global peace and public health.  \nBefore joining The Carter Center\, Alexander had a distinguished global development career\, with more than two decades of experience in the government and nonprofit sectors. She held Senate-confirmed senior leadership positions at two regional bureaus of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)\, covering missions and development programs in 25 countries.  \nAlexander currently serves on the boards of the Romanian American Foundation\, the World Affairs Council of Atlanta\, and the Free Russia Foundation\, and as an advisory board member of several human rights organizations.  \nThis Chautauqua Lecture Series program is presented in collaboration with the African American Heritage House at Chautauqua.

SUMMARY:Brendan Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Brendan Murphy is the founding director of the Bearing Witness Institute for Interreligious and Ecumenical Dialogue at Marist School. \nHe has taught history at Marist since 1994 and is actively involved in developing educational initiatives and created a compelling “History and the Holocaust” seminar at Marist that is complemented by cocurricular international field trips to sites in Europe that were significant during the Holocaust. Over the years\, high demand for Murphy’s thought-provoking antisemitism presentations at churches and synagogues in Atlanta\, Georgia and across the country spurred the creation of the Bearing Witness Institute. \nMurphy has received numerous awards\, including the Outstanding Educator Award from the Anne Frank Center in New York\, the ADL’s Abe Goldstein Human Relations and Unsung Hero Awards. His dedication to excellence in teaching has been acknowledged at Marist School and on the state level\, with the Distinguished Service Award from the Georgia Independent School Association and twice with the Georgia Outstanding Educator of the Year Award from the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust. He also has been recognized as Teacher of the Year by the University of Notre Dame. Additionally\, Murphy has participated in prestigious programs such as the Museum Teacher Fellowship at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington\, D.C. and the Lerner Fellowship at the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous in New York City. Recently\, he was selected to participate in Leadership Atlanta’s Class of 2025. \nIn addition to serving as director of the Bearing Witness Institute and teaching his Holocaust seminar\, Murphy moderates a Peace by Piece group\, which brings students from Christian\, Jewish\, and Muslim communities together to foster friendship and understanding. In the coming years\, he will replicate this Peace by Piece model in communities and schools across the nation.  \nA native of Atlanta\, Georgia\, Murphy earned a bachelor’s degree in education and history from the University of Notre Dame and holds a master’s degree in theology from Spring Hill College.

SUMMARY:Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle Presentation — Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah  \nLoretta Thurwar and Hamara “Hurricane Staxxx” Stacker are the stars of the Chain-Gang All-Stars\, the cornerstone of CAPE\, or Criminal Action Penal Entertainment\, a highly popular\, highly controversial profit-raising program in America’s increasingly dominant private prison industry. It’s the return of the gladiators\, and prisoners are com­peting for the ultimate prize: their freedom.  \nIn CAPE\, prisoners travel as Links in Chain-Gangs\, competing in death matches before packed arenas with righteous protestors at the gates. As fan favorites\, teammates\, and lovers\, Thurwar and Staxxx fight for their lives and consider how they might help preserve their humanity\, in defiance of these so-called games. But CAPE’s corporate own­ers will stop at nothing to protect their status quo\, and the obstacles they devise have devastating consequences.  \nIn his debut novel\, Chain-Gang All-Stars\, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah examines an America in which systemic racism\, wanton capitalism\, and mass incarceration combine to create a new privatized and monetized gladiator production in the United States\, on which the kaleidoscopic lives of his main characters take center stage as they fight to survive and pursue their freedom — by any means necessary. A work longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal of Excellence and named a finalist for the 2024 Chautauqua Prize\, among other accolades\, Chain-Gang All-Stars combines prose that is both provocative and forthright in its critique of the American incarceration system.  \nNana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah was raised in Spring Valley\, New York\, and now lives in the Bronx. His debut collection\, Friday Black\, was a New York Times bestseller\, won the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award and the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing\, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Award and the Dylan Thomas Prize. His first novel Chain-Gang All-Stars was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction\, shortlisted for the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize and the Books Are My Bag Awards\, and selected as a New York Times Top Ten Books of the Year. Adjei-Brenyah is a National Book Foundation’s ‘5 Under 35’ honoree.
