DESCRIPTION:Join Chautauqua Institution in Washington\, D.C.\, or online\, for a special program hosted at the American Enterprise Institute and moderated by 2024–25 Chautauqua Perry Fellow in Democracy Melody Barnes. As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary\, American democracy faces profound challenges in the form of declining trust in institutions and growing political and cultural divides. While policy solutions and institutional reforms are essential\, they are not enough. The strength of our democracy depends on a civic culture that sustains it. Can we foster a shared set of norms\, values\, and beliefs that empower our institutions and help us navigate our differences? \nPresented in partnership with AEI and the University of Virginia’s Karsh Institute of Democracy\, this program — titled “Is American Civic Culture the Source of Our Challenges” — will be a thought-provoking conversation on what it will take to renew the foundation of American democracy. Joining the panel discussion are E.J. Dionne\, senior fellow and W. Averell Harriman Chair in American Governance at Brookings; William A. Galston\, senior fellow and Ezra K. Zilkha Chair in Governance Studies at Brookings; Hahrie Han\, director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University; Yuval Levin\, director of Social\, Cultural\, and Constitutional Studies at AEI; and Christine Rosen\, senior fellow at AEI. Guiding the conversation will be Barnes\, who serves as executive director of the University of Virginia’s Karsh Institute of Democracy. \nVisit AEI’s website to register (for free) while seats are available\, or register to watch online. \nPanelists Dionne\, Rosen and Barnes are all previous presenters on lecture stages at Chautauqua; AEI and Brookings are Chautauqua’s program partners for the 2025 Week Four Chautauqua Lecture Series exploration of “The Future of the American Experiment.” URL:https://www.chq.org/event/is-american-civic-culture-the-source-of-our-challenges/ LOCATION:Washington\, DC CATEGORIES:Chautauqua Institution Program,Chautauqua Lecture Series,Featured Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chq.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04.23-Levin-Event-Image.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250519T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250525T000000 DTSTAMP:20260403T173042 CREATED:20241016T173018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250625T171542Z UID:88110-1747612800-1748131200@www.chq.org SUMMARY:CHQ Travels: Cannes Film Festival DESCRIPTION:Through special accreditation granted to the Chautauqua Institution by the Cannes Film Festival\, enjoy access to dozens of screenings of some of the most daring\, promising\, and topical films of the year.

Exploding onto the music scene in 1993 with their multi-platinum breakout album\, August and Everything After\, the band has gone on to release seven studio albums\, selling more than 20 million records worldwide\, and is revered as one of the world’s most pre-eminent live touring rock bands. \nIn October 1996\, the band’s double-platinum sophomore studio album\, Recovering the Satellites\, debuted at number one and further solidified their growing reputation as one of the leading American alternative rock bands in the world. A follow-up to their early success\, Counting Crows went on to release This Desert Life (1999)\, Hard Candy (2002)\, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings (2008)\, Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did on Our Summer Vacation) (2012)\, Echoes of the Outlaw Roadshow (2013) and Somewhere Under Wonderland (2014.) In 2004\, Counting Crows recorded the chart-topping “Accidentally in Love” for the animated motion picture Shrek 2. The instant success of the track earned them an Academy Award nomination for “Best Original Song” at the 2005 Academy Awards\, a Golden Globe nomination for “Best Original Song” and a GRAMMY Award nomination for “Best Song Written for a Motion Picture\, Television or Other Visual Media.” \nIn September 2014\, Counting Crows released their critically acclaimed seventh studio album\, Somewhere Under Wonderland\, which debuted at No. 10 on the charts and was heralded by The Daily Telegraph as “… the best collection of songs since their debut.” The album consisted of nine sprawling tracks around rich sonic tapestries\, which yielded some of the most grandiose yet intimate songs Counting Crows had recorded to date. 2018 marked 25 years since the band’s inception and sent Adam Duritz\, Jim Bogios\, David Bryson\, Charlie Gillingham\, David Immergluck\, Millard Powers\, and Dan Vickrey back on the road for the “25 YEARS AND COUNTING” tour. In 2021\, Counting Crows ranked #8 on Billboard’s “Greatest of All Time: Adult Alternative Artists” 25th-anniversary chart. \nAfter seven years\, Adam Duritz and Counting Crows released Butter Miracle: Suite One in May 2021 to rave reviews.

For the better part of two decades\, they’ve cemented their reputation as freethinking songwriters\, road warriors\, and community builders\, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience who’ve grown alongside them through the years. That evolution continues with Heart is the Hero\, the band’s eighth studio album. Recorded analog to 16-track tape\, this latest effort finds its three creators embracing the chemistry of their acclaimed live shows by capturing their performances in real-time direct from the studio floor with nary a computer in sight. An acoustic-driven album that electrifies\, Heart is the Hero is stocked with songs that target not only the heart\, but the head and hips\, too. \n “We love records that come from the era of less tracks and more care\,” explains co-founder Oliver Wood. “When you use a computer during the tracking process\, you have an infinite number of tracks at your disposal\, which implies that nothing is permanent\, and everything can be fixed. Tape gives you limitations that force you to be creative and intentional. You don’t look at the music on a screen; you listen to it\, and you learn to focus on the feeling of the performance.“ \nThroughout Heart Is The Hero\, those performances are matched by the visceral storytelling and songwriting chops that have turned The Wood Brothers into Grammy-nominated leaders of American roots music\, even as their music reaches far beyond the genre’s borders. The stripped-down swagger of “Pilgrim” underscores Oliver’s reminder to slow down and experience each moment as an interactive observer rather than a passive tourist. A similar theme anchors “Between the Beats\,” where Oliver draws upon a meditation technique — maintaining one’s focus on the space between heartbeats — to reach a new level of presence. The gentle sway of country-soul gem “Rollin’ On\,” featuring horns by Matt Glassmeyer and Roy Agee\, expounds on the time-honored tradition of love as the guiding light through darkness\, while ”Mean Man World” finds Chris Wood singing about his responsibilities as a father whose young daughter is poised to inherit an uncertain future. “Line Those Pockets” is a universal call for mercy and understanding over materialism. “Everybody’s just trying to be happy\, so put your money away; line those pockets with grace\,” the band sings in three-part harmony during the song’s chorus\, which emphasizes compassion over cash as the world’s true currency. Together\, these songs offer a snapshot of a spirited\, independent-minded group at the peak of its powers\, always pushing forward and seeking to evolve beyond what’s come before. \nThe Wood Brothers have partnered with American Friends of Canadian Conservation so that $1 per ticket will support The Nature Trust of British Columbia (NTBC) in their efforts to conserve ecologically-rich wetlands and protect irreplaceable land from development. Every $1 donated will be matched by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with $2 so more endangered wetlands can be saved. If you’d like to learn more\, please visit the Discover More Link.

In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world\, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family’s origins as well as MLK’s complex relationships with his wife\, father\, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods\, a citizen hunted by his own government\, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham\, Selma\, and Memphis\, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father—as well as the nation’s most mourned martyr. \nIn this landmark biography\, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker\, a brilliant strategist\, and a committed radical who led one of history’s greatest movements\, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime. \nJonathan Eig is the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author of King: A Life. He’s the author of six books\, four of them New York Times bestsellers. The New York Times hailed King as the “definitive” biography of Martin Luther King Jr. The book was awarded the New-York Historical Society’s 2024 Barbara and David Zalaznick Book Prize\, which is presented annually to the nation’s best work of history or biography. King was also nominated for the National Book Award. \nJonathan began his writing career at age 16\, working for his hometown newspaper\, The Rockland County (N.Y.) Journal News\, studied journalism at Northwestern University\, and went on to work as a reporter for The New Orleans Times-Picayune\, The Dallas Morning News\, Chicago Magazine\, and The Wall Street Journal. He’s appeared on the Today Show\, NPR’s Fresh Air\, and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. But his greatest claim to fame\, according to his parents\, is that his name once appeared in a Jeopardy question (which was solved correctly for $200). He lives in Chicago with his wife and children and shares office space with the laundry machines.

The concert will be led by Chia-Hsuan Lin. \nOscar® and Grammy Award®-winning composer Hans Zimmer and his production team have scored each “Pirates of the Caribbean” adventure for the franchise. The original score raised the bar for thematic complexity with its orchestral swashbuckling flavor accentuated by the use of horns for melody. \n“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” is based on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disney Parks and is the first installment of the film series. Set in the 18th century\, Captain Jack Sparrow is roguish yet charming\, as he sails the Caribbean on his ship the Black Pearl. But Jack’s idyllic life capsizes when his nemesis\, the wily Captain Barbossa\, steals Jack’s ship and later attacks the town of Port Royal\, kidnapping the Governor’s beautiful daughter\, Elizabeth Swann. In a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl\, Elizabeth’s childhood friend\, Will Turner\, joins forces with Jack. Unbeknownst to Will\, whose father once served with the crew of the Black Pearl\, there is a curse that has doomed Barbossa and his men to live forever as the undead.

Black went on to voice the character in both the 2015 film and its 2024 sequel — now the highest grossing animated film of all time; a fan of all things Pixar\, Black has called the opportunity a career-defining role. Now\, the Chautauqua favorite returns to the Amphitheater stage with his “Inside Out” and “Inside Out 2” directors Pete Docter and Kelsey Mann\, respectively\, to discuss the intersection of humor and the heartfelt. Their conversation opens a Chautauqua Lecture Series week co-curated with Black himself\, and in partnership with the National Comedy Center. \nPete Docter is the Oscar-winning director of “Monsters\, Inc.\,” “Up\,” “Inside Out” and “Soul\,” and Chief Creative Officer at Pixar Animation Studios. He has served as a member of the National Comedy Center Advisory Board since 2019. \nStarting at Pixar in 1990 as the studio’s third animator\, Docter collaborated and helped develop the story and characters for “Toy Story\,” Pixar’s first full-length animated feature film\, for which he also was supervising animator. He served as a storyboard artist on “A Bug’s Life\,” and wrote initial story treatments for both “Toy Story 2” and “WALL-E.” Docter also executive produced “Monsters University” and the Academy Award-winning “Brave.” Docter has won three Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature for “Up\,” “Inside Out\,” and “Soul\,” and has received nine Academy Award nominations\, including Best Animated Feature for “Monsters\, Inc.\,” and Best Original Screenplay for “Up\,” “Inside Out” and “WALL-E.” In 2010\, “Up” also was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. \nKelsey Mann first came to Pixar Animation Studios in 2009 and was the story supervisor on the 2013 feature film “Monsters University.” In this capacity\, he oversaw a team of story artists through the process of storyboarding the film. He also contributed ancillary material during the production of the Academy Award-winning feature “Toy Story 3.” Mann was soon tapped to direct the “Monsters University” short film “Party Central\,” and he also worked as the story supervisor on “The Good Dinosaur” and “Onward.” Most recently\, Mann directed Pixar’s feature film “Inside Out 2.” \nMann launched his animation career as an intern at Reelworks\, a small Minneapolis-based commercial studio. From there\, he moved to Los Angeles in 2000 and went on to hold a variety of positions including animation\, storyboarding and directing for companies such as Cartoon Network\, Warner Bros. and Lucasfilm Animation. \nKnown as the “King of the Rant\,” Lewis Black uses his trademark style of comedic yelling and animated finger-pointing to skewer anything and anyone that gets under his skin. He’s made audiences across the world laugh at the absurdities of life\, with topics that include current events\, social media\, politics and anything else that exposes the hypocrisy and madness he sees in the world. \nIn 1996\, Black was tapped to create a weekly segment for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” The segment\, a three-minute rant about whatever was bothering him at the moment\, evolved into “Back in Black\,” becoming one of the most popular and longest-running segments on the show. \nIn his comedic career\, Black has released more than a dozen albums — receiving six Grammy nominations and two wins for his work — and has filmed two specials for HBO\, including “Black On Broadway” and “Red\, White and Screwed.” The latter was nominated for an Emmy in 2007. His most recent stand-up specials are 2020’s “Thanks for Risking Your Life” and 2023’s “Tragically\, I Need You” — his 15th stand-up special.

Through the eyes of those who know it best\, audiences will be given a behind-the-scenes look at “The Daily Show” for the Chautauqua Lecture Series’ week “Comedy Now: A Week Curated with Lewis Black — In Partnership with the National Comedy Center.” Jen Flanz (executive producer\, writer and showrunner)\, Matt O’Brien (writer/producer)\, Max Browning (supervising producer) and Elise Terrell (co-executive producer) will share the show’s history\, how it has evolved and changed\, the highs and the lows along the way\, and an idea of what a day at “The Daily Show” is like. The panel will be led in conversation with Jeff Stilson\, the longtime actor and comedian\, and good friend of the week’s co-curator\, Lewis Black. In this presentation\, audiences will get an understanding of how the team mines the news daily and come up with comic gold — well\, maybe not all the time\, but a lot. \nJen Flanz serves as executive producer\, writer and the showrunner of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” During her 25-plus years on the “Daily Show” team\, Flanz has played a significant role in creating content for the show’s linear and not-so-linear programming\, including both taped and live coverage\, innovative social content\, print books\, original podcasts and on-the-ground activation spaces. Most recently\, Flanz oversaw the return of Jon Stewart to the iconic “news” desk and transformed the format of over 25 years from a solo hosted show to a multi-hosted show\, where Stewart is hosting alongside a rotation of the News Team (Jordan Klepper\, Desi Lydic\, Ronny Chieng and Michael Kosta). This exciting change came after a long stretch of unexpected shifts for the marquee brand from at-home production amid the COVID-19 pandemic to in-studio production at the Paramount headquarters in Times Square\, eventually leading to the show’s successful return to its home studio in Hell’s Kitchen where it welcomed an in-studio audience for the first time in two years. Then came the departure of a permanent host Trevor Noah and\, rounding out the winding road\, a cycle of celebrity guest hosts at the “Daily Show” desk. Flanz is no stranger to the ever-evolving “Daily Show” landscape\, as she was an instrumental figure during the 2015 transition of hosts from Stewart to Noah and the subsequent rebranding of the show. She has also executive produced multiple specials under the “Daily Show” umbrella\, and her producing roles have won her nine Primetime Emmy Awards\, three Peabody Awards\, a Gracie Awards and a Television Academy Honors Award. \nMax Browning is an Emmy Award-winning supervising producer on “The Daily Show.” There\, Browning co-runs the Topical Assignments Group\, which leads the show’s coverage of current events\, breaking news and deep dives. He and his team use the foundations of journalism and comedy to research and produce the show’s headlines and think pieces. \nMatt O’Brien is an Emmy Award-winning writer and producer for “The Daily Show.” Prior to joining “TDS\,” he worked as the head writer on “Conan” for six seasons\, before successfully getting that show canceled. \nElise Terrell is an Emmy Award-winning co-executive producer for “The Daily Show.” As an integral part of “The Daily Show” team for nearly 20 years\, Terrell has held various production and creative roles throughout her tenure. Her longevity at the show has allowed her to explore the various satirical aspects of changing political\, social\, and media landscapes over the course of four presidential administrations. Currently\, she jointly manages the team responsible for producing all scripted and unscripted packages on the program\, bringing the vision and voice of the show to life through these segments. \nJeff Stilson is a standup comedian\, writer and TV producer\, having begun his standup career in Seattle in the mid-1980s. As a standup\, he has appeared on “Late Night with David Letterman\,” “The Tonight Show\,” Comedy Central and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” Stilson was one of five comedians to appear on the 14th Annual Young Comedians Special for HBO in 1991. He worked as a writer for “The Late Show with David Letterman\,” and as a producer and writer for “The Chris Rock Show\,” “Da Ali G Show\,” “Last Comic Standing” and “The Daily Show.” He has won two Emmy Awards and received 14 nominations as a comedy writer and producer.

Within\, a critic explores the paradox of finding community in “the dozens” while grieving. A violent town ritual causes an all-too-familiar moral panic. An email thread between friends on why we need an updated Green Book but for public toilets. All across the nation\, “Karens” become illegal overnight. These are just a few of the hilarious worlds contained in Damon Young’s groundbreaking anthology featuring the best\, funniest\, and Blackest essays\, short stories\, letters\, and rants. \nWith words that roast\, ignite\, and burn while connecting to and coalescing around a singular thesis\, That’s How They Get You emphasizes how and why Black American humor is uniquely transfixing. This is a mixture of not just observational anxieties and stream-of-consciousness lucidities but also acute political clarity about America. Edited and with an introduction by Damon Young\, the critically acclaimed author of What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker\, the collection features new material from an all-star roster of contributors\, including Hanif Abdurraqib\, Mahogany L. Browne\, Wyatt Cenac\, Kiese Laymon\, Deesha Philyaw\, Roy Wood Jr.\, and Nicola Yoon. \nPittsburgh writer Damon Young’s debut memoir\, What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Blacker: A Memoir in Essays (Ecco)\, won the Thurber Prize for American Humor. A founder of the culture blog Very Smart Brothas and creator and host of the Crooked Media podcast Stuck with Damon Young\, Damon has been a contributing columnist for The Washington Post Magazine\, a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times\, and a columnist for GQ and was the inaugural writer-in-residence at the University of Pittsburgh’s David C.

Her stage credits include “The Heidi Chronicles” on broadway\, “Key Exchange” at the Orpheum\, “Split” at the Second Stage\, “The Old Neighborhood” at A.R.T.\, “If Memory Serves” at the Pasadena Playhouse\, “The Philanderer” at the Yale Rep\, “The Cherry Orchard” at the Atlantic Theater Co.\, and most recently “Happy Days” by Samuel Beckett in Pasadena\, Boston\, and NYC. \nHer film credits include “Days of Heaven\,” “Gas Food Lodging\,” “Invasion of the Body Snatchers\,” “The Dead Zone\,” “Cuba\,” “Tell Me A Riddle” and “Key Exchange.” She produced and starred in “Made-Up\,” written by her sister Lynne Adams. She collaborated again with her sister\, creating the web series “All Downhill From Here.“ On television\, she appeared in “Thirtysomething\,” “Moonlighting\,” “Family\,” “The Lion of Africa\,” “Special People\,” the miniseries “LACE” and “LACE II\,” and “Monk\,” starring her husband Tony Shalhoub. \nIn her early 20s\, Adams lived in Spain for four years\, where\, with no training\, she painted everything she saw in watercolors. When she returned to the States and started working as an actress again\, painting got away from her. In 1993\, after the birth of her second daughter\, she stopped acting and decided to take art classes — her passion for painting was reawakened. After nearly 30 years away from filmmaking\, the 1981 film “Haunted\,” now renamed “Vengeance is Mine\,” was re-released at the Film Forum with a review in The New York Times that was a love letter to Adams\, which prompted a retrospective of her work at the Harvard Film Archive. In all of her art\, whether it be acting or painting\, Adams brings liveliness\, familiarity\, and heart to all. \nTony Shalhoub is a Tony-\, Golden Globe-\, and four-time Emmy-winning actor with a diverse and extensive resume. Recently\, he returned to the iconic role of the beloved obsessive-compulsive detective Adrian Monk in Peacock’s critically acclaimed “Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie\,” receiving Best Actor in a Limited Series or Television Movie nominations from the Screen Actors Guild and Critics’ Choice Awards. \nShalhoub was born and raised in Green Bay\, Wisconsin. His father emigrated from Lebanon to the United States as an orphan at the age of 8. Shalhoub spent most of his early career in the theater after graduating from Yale Drama School in 1980. From 1980 to 1984\, he was a proud member of the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, before moving to New York. \nOn the Broadway stage\, Shalhoub starred in “The Band’s Visit…” as well as Arthur Miller’s “The Price.” Other Broadway credits include “Act One\,” “Golden Boy\,” “Lend Me a Tenor\,” “Conversations With My Father\,” “The Heidi Chronicles” and “The Odd Couple” (Female Version). Shalhoub’s film credits include “Play Dirty” on Amazon Prime\, “Flamin’ Hot” directed by Eva Longoria\, “Pain & Gain\,” “Men In Black” 1 and 2\, “Galaxy Quest\,” “The Siege\,” “The Man Who Wasn’t There\,” “Linoleum\,” “Big Night\,” “A Civil Action\,” “Spy Kids” 1 and 2\, “Final Portrait” and “Barton Fink\,” as well as voicing the character of Luigi in “Cars.” Television credits include “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\,” “Monk\,” “Braindead\,” “Nurse Jackie\,” “Wings\,” HBO’s “Too Big to Fail” and “Hemingway & Gellhorn.” \nKelly Carlin is an author\, storyteller\, depth psychologist\, transformational coach and television producer. Her solo show\, “A Carlin Home Companion\,” was expanded and then published as a memoir by St. Martin’s Press in 2015. Her television work includes being a producer of the Showtime show “The Green Room with Paul Provenza\,” and in 2023\, she won an Emmy Award as executive producer of the HBO documentary “George Carlin’s American Dream.” Her 20-plus years of study and practice in Zen Buddhism\, Co-Active Coaching and Imaginal Psychology are the foundation for her creative work\, and for her transformational programs through her Humans on the Verge coaching community. She is proudly involved with the National Comedy Center as an Advisory Board member\, and proud to be a Chautauquan since 2017 when she helped to launch the first-ever “comedy week” here.

Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne\, is a teacher\, preacher\, scholar\, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness\, justice\, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary. She earned her Ph.D. in Liturgical Studies with a concentration in Women’s Studies from Drew University Theological School. An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church. \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members.

Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary.

An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church. \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members. Inspired by her training as a fine artist\, dancer\, and thespian\, her congregations engaged in various worship styles such as Blended\, sacramental-contemplative\, Pentacostal-Charismatic\, Maranatha style Contemporary\, and Emergent Ancient-Modern. \nWoven throughout her life has been a calling to engage in practices and honest conversations that strive to undermine and dismantle systemic racism and colonization and invite people to live more deeply into the kin-dom of God by seeking to honor each other’s differences\, and embody a spirituality that recognizes all creation as beloved.

Beginning with a frank assessment of our situation\, we first demonstrate how current actions to reduce carbon emissions fall significantly short of what is needed. At the same time\, important tipping points\, such as the economics of renewable energy\, the rapid expansion of electric vehicles\, and nearing peak emissions all point toward significant breakthroughs in climate action. We will close by examining the technical\, political\, financial\, and social changes needed to make meaningful progress toward achieving global climate goals\, with an emphasis on solutions that are currently available and realistic. By focusing on these essential drivers of change\, this talk aims to illuminate a clear path toward meaningful\, sustained action that ensures a livable future.

Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary.

Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne DESCRIPTION:The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne\, is a teacher\, preacher\, scholar\, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness\, justice\, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech\, centers on identity formation\, deep listening\, and relationship building\, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices. \nSuzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations\, including the Kiowa\, Lakota\, Cherokee\, MVSKOKE (Creek)\, Choctaw\, Chickasaw\, Abenaki\, Shinnecock\, Southern Ute\, Lenape\, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship. \nIn addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching\, she published essays\, and articles\, developed curricula\, designed worship experiences\, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls\, the Doctrine of Discovery\, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists\, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia\, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools. \nServing in various academic and ministerial roles\, she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Worship and Preaching and the Director of Mast Chapel at New Brunswick Theological Seminary.

An ordained elder in the Eastern Pennsylvania Conference\, Suzanne is also an antiracism trainer\, and Communications chairperson for the Northeastern Jurisdiction of the Native American Ministries Committee for The United Methodist Church. \nHer work with the diverse faculty\, staff\, and student body at NBTS is informed by her experiences leading churches of various sizes and settings that included congregations comprised of white settlers as well as arrivants\, multi-lingual\, multi-cultural\, and inter-generational members. Inspired by her training as a fine artist\, dancer\, and thespian\, her congregations engaged in various worship styles such as Blended\, sacramental-contemplative\, Pentacostal-Charismatic\, Maranatha style Contemporary\, and Emergent Ancient-Modern. \nWoven throughout her life has been a calling to engage in practices and honest conversations that strive to undermine and dismantle systemic racism and colonization and invite people to live more deeply into the kin-dom of God by seeking to honor each other’s differences\, and embody a spirituality that recognizes all creation as beloved.
