SUMMARY:CHQ Mystic Heart- Sharon Wesoky\, Mahyana Buddhism / Mindfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Sharon R. Wesoky\, Ph.D has been practicing Buddhist meditation for over 15 years.  Born and raised in a Reform Jewish tradition\, she regards Buddhist practice as a way to connect with an open heart as well as to consider how spiritual practice can help address questions of daily meaning as well as social and political belonging across different faith traditions.  She holds a B.A. in Politics from Brandeis University\, a Ph.D. in Government from Cornell University\, and is Professor of Political Science at Allegheny College in Meadville\, Pennsylvania.  Her research and teaching center on Chinese feminism and comparative political philosophy\, and she is the editor and chief translator of Chinese Modernity and Socialist Feminist Theory\, a collection of writings by contemporary Chinese feminist theorist Song Shaopeng.  \nA Dharma student of Lodro Rinzler since 2014\, Sharon has been a long-time member of his Buddhist Community as well as a graduate of his Mindfulness and Lovingkindness Teacher Trainings.  Sharon graduated from Upaya Zen Center’s Buddhist chaplaincy training in March 2025\, a program that combines academic study\, Zen Buddhist practice\, and socially-engaged activity.   She is a volunteer meditation teacher at the Pennsylvania state women’s prison SCI-Cambridge Springs. Sharon looks forward to leading meditation at Chautauqua centered on the teachings and practices of Mahayana Buddhism\, which emphasizes the cultivation of compassion and wisdom both on and off the cushion.

SUMMARY:Joanna Stern
DESCRIPTION:Joanna Stern is an Emmy Award-winning technology journalist. She opens Chautauqua’s week of “Charting a New Media Landscape” with remarks inspired by her new book I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything and the launch of her own new media company. Drawing on a year of real-world experiments with AI tools — and the practical results — she will explore how generative AI is changing reporting\, storytelling\, editing\, audience growth and the business of journalism. Stern will look at what’s gained\, what’s at risk and what new rules and skills media organizations and individual journalists will need as AI blurs the lines between fact and fiction.  \nPreviously\, Stern spent 12 years at The Wall Street Journal\, where her personal technology columns and video series made her one of the most-watched voices in consumer tech. Now running her own new media company\, she produces videos and newsletters that help people navigate the tech reshaping daily life.   \nStern’s 2021 documentary “E-Ternal” won an Emmy for Outstanding Science\, Technology or Environmental Coverage. A two-time Gerald Loeb Award winner and Pulitzer finalist\, she often appears on national television\, radio\, and podcasts such as “The Vergecast.” She previously served as a technology editor at ABC News and The Verge. Stern lives in New Jersey with her wife\, sons\, dog\, and more gadgets than a Best Buy.
