Marcella Kanfer Rolnick and Mark Smucker are top executives at GOJO Industries\, Inc.\, and The J.M. Smucker Company\, respectively. In this conversation\, GOJO and Smucker will serve as two case study companies that have survived and thrived for decades — GOJO since 1946 and Smucker since 1897. Informed by the experiences of these two successful companies and the insights of their family-led leaders\, we’ll explore what it will take to succeed in the private sector over the next 75 years. \nAs executive chair and the third generation of family leadership of GOJO Industries\, Inc.\, Marcella Kanfer Rolnick focuses on vision-setting\, long-term strategy\, sound governance\, and stewardship of the family values and culture that have propelled GOJO to success. Keys to that success: always seeking possibilities for making the world better; working on the forefront of new thinking and innovation; being adaptable in a fast-changing world; team-based co-creation; and non-stop learning. \nMarcella was Vice Chair of GOJO from 2007 to May 2018\, when she became executive chair. Previously\, she worked in several areas of GOJO\, including production\, R&D\, market research\, and market development. Marcella helped lead the launch of Purell Hand Sanitizer in the consumer market and then established the company’s initial e-business capability and digital strategy in the late 1990s. Outside of GOJO\, she had early- and mid-career roles within a consulting firm\, a multi-media publisher\, and a boutique investment company. She also co-leads Walnut Ridge\, a family office that supports the business\, investment\, non-profit philanthropic and family goals\, and activities of the Kanfer family. \nMarcella serves on a wide variety of nonprofit and for-profit boards\, including the Advisory Board of the Fowler Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit at Case Western Reserve University\, Lippman Kanfer Family Foundation\, and Lippman Kanfer Foundation for Living Torah\, which she chairs. She earned her MBA from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and her B.A. from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs. \nMark Smucker is only the sixth CEO in The J.M. Smucker Company’s 127-plus-year history; he also serves as chair of the company’s board. Under his leadership\, Smucker has strengthened the company’s position as a leading manufacturer of beloved products while expanding its role as a world-class marketer of popular brands across growth categories. This success has allowed the company to enhance its partnerships with leading retailers\, meet the evolving needs of consumers\, and increase value for shareholders. \nInspired by Mark’s devotion to being relentlessly consumer-focused\, Smucker has adopted a stronger concentration on agility to meet emerging needs. This is reflected in the company’s investment in data analysis and market intelligence to better predict consumer behavior; corporate strategy\, to identify new growth opportunities; and insights and sales\, to expand distribution and ensure its products are conveniently available to consumers. As Smucker has grown\, Mark has championed and evolved the culture\, guided by the Company’s Basic Beliefs and Our Commitment to Each Other\, that instills pride in employees while creating a positive\, exciting atmosphere to attract new talent. \nIn addition to its leadership as a business and employer\, Smucker has enhanced its position as a responsible organization. Mark has built upon the company’s rich history of corporate responsibility by championing sustainable practices\, a commitment to responsible sourcing\, and a passion for supporting the communities in which Smucker operates.

The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia.

The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation. \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

The brutal murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk—the nation’s first openly gay elected official—shocked a nation. This gripping documentary play examines the trial of Dan White\, the disgruntled former city supervisor whose reduced voluntary manslaughter conviction\, rather than murder in the first degree\, sparked outrage and introduced the infamous “Twinkie defense.” Ripped from the headlines\, personal interviews\, and court documents of the past but still resonating powerfully today\, this play confronts themes of justice\, prejudice\, and privilege and grapples with the issues of gun violence and systemic homophobia. This contemporary classic challenges us to reflect on our identity as a nation. \nRecommended for audiences ages 13 and older.

Why do women live longer than men? Why are women more likely to get Alzheimer’s? Why do girls score better at every academic subject than boys until puberty\, when suddenly their scores plummet? Is sexism useful for evolution? And why\, seriously why\, do women have to sweat through our sheets every night when we hit menopause? \nThese questions are producing some truly exciting science – and in Eve\, with boundless curiosity and sharp wit\, Cat Bohannon covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex: “We need a kind of user’s manual for the female mammal. A no-nonsense\, hard-hitting\, seriously researched (but readable) account of what we are. How female bodies evolved\, how they work\, what it really means to biologically be a woman. Something that would rewrite the story of womanhood. This book is that story. We must put the female body in the picture. If we don’t\, it’s not just feminism that’s compromised. Modern medicine\, neurobiology\, paleoanthropology\, even evolutionary biology all takes a hit when we ignore the fact that half of us have breasts. So\, it’s time we talk about breasts. Breasts\, and blood\, and fat\, and vaginas\, and wombs—all of it. How they came to be and how we live with them now\, no matter how weird or hilarious the truth is.” \nEve is not only a sweeping revision of human history\, it’s an urgent and necessary corrective for a world that has focused primarily on the male body for far too long. Picking up where Sapiens left off\, Eve will completely change what you think you know about evolution and why Homo sapiens has become such a successful and dominant species. \nCat Bohannon is a researcher and author with a Ph.D. from Columbia University in the evolution of narrative and cognition. Her essays and poems have appeared in Scientific American\, Mind\, Science Magazine\, The Best American Nonrequired Reading\, The Georgia Review\, The Story Collider\, and Poets Against the War. She lives with her family in Seattle.

But despite reaching a milestone few musical acts ever come close to attaining\, Guster’s ninth studio LP reveals a band fully in touch with the voracious creative energy that first inspired their formation. A major leap forward for lead vocalist Ryan Miller\, guitarist Adam Gardner\, drummer Brian Rosenworcel\, and multi-instrumentalist Luke Reynolds\, Ooh La La ultimately matches that wide-eyed spirit with a newly heightened sense of confidence\, conviction\, and commitment to the raw sincerity that’s made them so beloved. \n “In all the time we’ve been together\, we’ve never really felt our age as a band—we’re still so hungry\, still excited to create\,” says Gardner. “A lot of people have told us they’re amazed at how democratic our process is\, but I think that’s a big part of why we’re still able to open up this space where the ideas just flow. It also helps that we’ve built a relationship with our fans where there’s a real sense of trust and a desire for us to keep growing and keep pushing ourselves. It’s such a gift that allows us to be truly free\, and to make whatever music we want to make.” \nThe Mountain Goats\nJenny from Thebes began its life as many albums by the Mountain Goats do\, with John Darnielle playing the piano until a lyric emerged. That lyric\, “Jenny was a warrior / Jenny was a thief / Jenny hit the corner clinic begging for relief\,” became “Jenny III\,” a song that laid down a challenge he’d never taken up before: writing a sequel to one of his most beloved albums. The Mountain Goats catalog is thick with recurring characters—Jenny\, who originally appears in the All Hail West Texas track bearing her name\, as well as in “Straight Six” from Jam Eater Blues and Transcendental Youth side two jam “Night Light\,” is one of these\, someone who enters a song unexpectedly\, pricking up the ears of fans who are keen on continuing the various narrative threads running through the Mountain Goats’ discography before vanishing into the mist. In these songs\, Jenny is largely defined by her absence\, and she is given that definition by other characters. She is running from something. These features are beguiling\, both to the characters who’ve told her story so far and to the listener. They invite certain questions: Who is Jenny\, really? What is she running from? Well\, she’s a warrior and a thief\, and\, this being an album by the Mountain Goats\, it’s a safe bet whatever she’s fleeing is something bad. Something catastrophically bad. \nJenny from Thebes is the story of Jenny\, her southwestern ranch style house\, the people for whom that house is a place of safety\, and the west Texas town that is uncomfortable with its existence. It is a story about the individual and society\, about safety and shelter and those who choose to provide care when nobody else will.

His investigation into Zello\, a walkie-talkie app used for recruitment and organizing by far-right militia groups in the lead up to January 6th\, won the John M. Higgins Award for Best In-Depth/Enterprise Reporting and was featured on 60 Minutes. In Chautauqua’s weeklong exploration of the Global Rise of Authoritarianism\, Loewinger will explore the link between the growing number and severity of climate-fueled natural disasters and rising support for authoritarian leaders. Researchers have documented how the rise in climate-driven migration drives countries at the receiving end toward anti-immigration populist authoritarianism. Loewinger’s groundbreaking investigative reporting has demonstrated how in the United States\, right wing militia groups have capitalized on natural disasters as a powerful recruiting tool\, preying on people’s distrust of the government to raise both funds and new supporters. Loewinger’s lecture will take you deep inside these militia movement strategies to leverage climate-fueled natural disasters in the service of authoritarian populism.

Written in 1905\, it’s a kind of “tragic zarzuela”\, a hothouse verismo opera that mixes Andalusian folk songs into a score shimmering with French Impressionism. This vivid and engrossing opera centers on Salud\, the working-class heroine\, a victim of passion and betrayal. Salud loves Paco\, a sophisticated cad\, who offers her pledges of love but marries another\, wealthier\, girl\, leaving Salud desolate with heartbreak. Only one hour long\, La Vida Breve is sonically thrilling\, with richly sung emotion and vivacious rhythms — a gripping story of the human condition. \nThe Chautauqua Opera Conservatory is designed to guide and empower young artists through training and vast performance opportunities in a wide array of repertoire with excellent faculty. Under the leadership of Denyce Graves-Montgomery\, Artistic Advisor\, and Jonathan Beyer\, Director\, a dynamic group of singers study\, coach\, and perform in an idyllic setting on the grounds of the Chautauqua Institution. \nComprised of top-tier students from conservatories and universities in the U.S. and abroad\, Music School Festival Orchestra members participate in a variety of musical activities during their summers at Chautauqua including chamber music and private lessons along with their meticulous orchestral training. Alumni from the MSFO can be heard in many of the world’s top orchestras and chamber ensembles and can be found on music faculties worldwide. The MSFO is led by Artistic Director Timothy Muffitt\, who serves as Music Director of the Lansing Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Laureate of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.

Morrow 1895 Professor of Political Science at Amherst College\, Javier Corrales’ research focuses on democratization\, presidential powers\, ruling parties\, democratic backsliding\, populism\, political economy of development\, oil and energy\, the incumbent’s advantage\, foreign policies\, and sexuality. He has published extensively on Latin America and the Caribbean\, and his latest book — Autocracy Rising: How Venezuela Transitioned to Authoritarianism — argues that deep democratic backsliding is determined by party system features\, variations in autocratic legalism\, institutional capture\, and innovations in the use of coercion.

It’s an interview from a local Bay Area news channel featuring Miko Marks talking about her journey as a Black woman in country music. “For me\, being a country music singer-songwriter\, I’m truly dedicated to the work\, so it’s an uphill battle\, but it’s one I’m willing to climb.” That clip is from 2007. The conversations and the questions 15 years later\, in 2022\, are the same. Miko has answered them time and time again\, but there’s more to her story than the barriers she bridles. She has more to give than the small confines of that one line of questioning. Miko’s life as a Black woman in country and roots music is only a small part of the story. As she readies her latest album\, Feel like Going Home\, for release (October 14\, 2022 via Redtone Records)\, it’s beyond time to dig deeper. \nMiko was born in Flint\, Michigan\, by a single mother\, a free spirit; undoubtedly where Miko gets her fire for life. Along with being passionate about being a mother and instilling strength and independence in Miko\, her mother also had a calling for fighting for equal rights for all. She would spend free time protesting on a local level in their town and would travel to Detroit for larger demonstrations\, always looking to make a genuine connection with everyone she met\, leaving the world better than she found it. This impacted Miko greatly as she grew and was pivotal in Miko finding her own voice. To provide for Miko\, her mother would spend nights working 3rd shift at the automotive factory\, while Miko’s grandmother would watch over her\, helping raise her for most of her young life. For Miko\, the women in her life were of utmost importance to her and their hopes and dreams for her were cautiously optimistic while being pragmatic due to the barriers they faced in their own lifetime. The path that Miko is on now would be almost unimaginable for women like her grandmother. Even still she was raised to rise. Miko reflects on the contributions of these women in “Good Life.” “My grandmother’s family came out of the south\, working in cotton fields\, struggling\, looking for hope up north as so many did during the great migration. I wanted to describe that in song and praise her and my mother and my ancestors for their power\, and to thank them for persevering so that I could have a good life.” URL:https://www.chq.org/event/miko-marks/ LOCATION:Amphitheater\, Amphitheater CATEGORIES:Chautauqua Institution Program,Weekly Themes,Week Six (August 1–8),Popular Entertainment & Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chq.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/MikoMarks_2025.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250730T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250730T203000 DTSTAMP:20260403T185503 CREATED:20250722T170023Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250722T181522Z UID:95421-1753907400-1753907400@www.chq.org SUMMARY:I'M STILL HERE DESCRIPTION:As Brazil faces the tightening grip of a military dictatorship\, Eunice Paiva (Fernanda Torres)\, a mother of five\, must reinvent herself and her family when authorities abduct her husband. “Director Walter Salles returns to the political filmmaking he employed in The Motorcycle Diaries.

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.

The LA-based\, Icelandic-Chinese artist’s trailblazing approach paid off\, as she is now the top streaming jazz artist in the world with an audience of over 15M across all socials. \nInspired by jazz greats and classical masters while possessing a point of view that could only be conveyed by a 21st century twenty-something\, Laufey’s GRAMMY-winning second album Bewitched is a reflection on “the magic and luster unique to youthful love.” Her self-assured musicianship and deeply felt lyrics takes the idea of “classic” music and humanize it\, giving her music a relatability to the next generation. “There are very few examples of artists who are on stage with an orchestra one day and making TikToks the next\,” she notes dryly. Laufey’s straddling of those two worlds has put her in a singular place across music.

Hailing from Cleveland\, Ohio\, Austin’s music is steeped in the traditions of Delta blues\, but it’s his life experiences that really give his sound its unique edge. Whether he’s playing a resonator guitar that echoes the ghosts of blues legends or belting out lyrics that cut straight to the bone\, Austin brings an authenticity to his performances that can only come from living the blues. \nWith a voice like gravel dipped in honey\, Austin has toured the world\, sharing stages with icons like Buddy Guy and Robert Lockwood Jr. But it’s his solo shows\, where the intimacy of his performance pulls the audience into the heart of the blues\, that truly showcase his artistry. Austin Walkin’ Cane is more than a musician; he’s a bluesman in the truest sense of the word with a sound and style that are all his own.

The LA-based\, Icelandic-Chinese artist’s trailblazing approach paid off\, as she is now the top streaming jazz artist in the world with an audience of over 15M across all socials. \nInspired by jazz greats and classical masters while possessing a point of view that could only be conveyed by a 21st century twenty-something\, Laufey’s GRAMMY-winning second album Bewitched is a reflection on “the magic and luster unique to youthful love.” Her self-assured musicianship and deeply felt lyrics takes the idea of “classic” music and humanize it\, giving her music a relatability to the next generation. “There are very few examples of artists who are on stage with an orchestra one day and making TikToks the next\,” she notes dryly. Laufey’s straddling of those two worlds has put her in a singular place across music.

Danforth Distinguished Professor in the Humanities at Washington University in St. Louis. She served for 12 years (2011-2023) as the director of the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics and the editor of the Center’s journal\, Religion & Politics. Her research focuses on American Christianity\, including the changing profile of American evangelicals and ongoing conflicts over gender\, sexuality\, and marriage.\nProfessor Griffith obtained her undergraduate degree at the University of Virginia in Political and Social Thought and her Ph.D. in the study of religion from Harvard University. Before moving to Washington University in 2011\, she served as professor of religion and director of the women and gender studies program at Princeton University\, where she was awarded the President’s Award for Distinguished Teaching; and later as the John A.

As young adults\, they’re on the precipice of new ventures: Ursula as a budding journalist in Manhattan\, Alvin as an engineering intern for Google\, Jen as a naïve freshman at NYU\, and Duncan as a promising newcomer on his high school football team. Their lives are upended when a series of violent\, senseless attacks across America creates a national panic\, prompting a government policy that pushes Vietnamese Americans into internment camps. Jen and Duncan are sent with their mother to Camp Tacoma while Ursula and Alvin receive exemptions. \nCut off entirely from the outside world\, forced to work jobs they hate\, Jen and Duncan try to withstand long\, dusty days in camp and acclimate to life without the internet. That is\, until Jen discovers a way to get messages to the outside. Her first instinct is to reach out to Ursula\, who sees this connection as a chance to tell the world about the horrors of camp—and as an opportunity to bolster her own reporting career in the process. \nInformed by real-life events\, from Japanese incarceration to the Vietnam War and modern-day immigrant detention\, Kevin Nguyen’s novel gives us a version of reality only a few degrees away from our own. Moving and finely attuned to both the brutalities and mundanities of racism\, Mỹ Documents is a strangely funny and touching portrait of American ambition\, fear\, and family. The story of the Nguyens is one of resilience and how we return to one another\, and to ourselves\, after tragedy. \nKevin Nguyen is the author of the novel New Waves. He is the features editor at The Verge and was previously a senior editor at GQ. He lives in Brooklyn. \nNguyen will replace the previously announced Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle author Angie Thomas\, who was originally scheduled for August 7. Her book\, Blackout\, remains a 2025 CLSC selection.

Jeremy Gill\, Chautauqua Opera Company’s 2016 composer-in-residence\, will set the 20-minute score. IDA BY LAMPLIGHT invites the audience into the office of THE CHAUTAUQUAN\, late one night in 1886. Ida Tarbell\, managing editor of THE CHAUTAUQUAN\, and Kate Kimball\, an early leader of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (CLSC) read and answer letters to the nascent CLSC as they survey the profound effect their work is having on thousands of readers across the United States. Commissioned by Chautauqua Opera Company to celebrate The 150th anniversary of Chautauquan Daily in 2026\, IDA BY LAMPLIGHT will be given a one-week workshop\, capped by a public reading with piano accompaniment. \nSITCOM\nThe neo-baroque comic chamber opera SITCOM\, with music by Luke Styles and libretto by Alan McKendrick\, was developed in collaboration with Opera Philadelphia and Producing Fund Partner Andrew Martin Weber. Sitcom will receive a ten-day workshop with harpsichord accompaniment at Chautauqua. As in classic television sitcoms\, the opera’s four main characters are delightfully trapped in the eternal present of their own worlds. Conceived as four 30-minute “episodes\,” each episode will take Max\, Bettina\, Joan and Vendetta on hugely transformative journeys\, but crucially return each of them to their status quo for the beginning of the next episode. Chautauqua Opera will workshop 60 minutes of the score\, with a public presentation to wrap up the final week of the 2025 season.

Jackson Lecture on the Supreme Court of the United States — Kim Lane Scheppele DESCRIPTION:Kim Lane Scheppele is the Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University. She is also a faculty fellow at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Her primary field is the sociology of law and also works in sociological theory\, comparative/historical sociology\, political sociology\, sociology of knowledge and human rights. \nScheppele’s research examines the rise and fall of constitutional government. After 1989\, she moved to Eastern Europe\, studying the way that new constitutions were being enacted and entrenched. After 9/11\, she examined how constitutions fared under the stress of anti-terrorism campaigns with their repressive new laws\, both in the United States and elsewhere. She has studied the way that democracies have come under stress\, focusing on the rise of new autocrats\, particularly those who are elected on populist political platforms and who then use the law to undermine constitutional institutions. Now\, she concentrates in particular on changes within the European Union\, exploring the way that the EU has had difficulty holding its own against national popular movements that brought about Brexit and the rise of illiberal autocracies among the member states. \nIn 2014\, Scheppele received the Kalven Prize from the Law and Society Association\, and in 2016 was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She is also an elected member of the International Academy of Comparative Law and serves as a “global jurist” on the executive committee of the International Association of Constitutional Law. She served as the elected president of the Law and Society Association from 2017 to 2019. Her book\, Legal Secrets\, won Special Recognition in the Distinguished Scholarly Publication competition of the American Sociological Association as well as the Corwin Prize of the American Political Science Association. \nChautauqua Institution’s Robert H.
