Panel One: My Generation/s
Wednesday, September 16 | 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Join us for this dynamic conversation about generations, from Gen Z to Boomers, as we tackle the difficult question of whether generations can effectively communicate with each other, or not. The first step towards overcoming the communication barrier is to inform ourselves about generations other than our own, so let's get the conversation started.

Panel Two: Civil (Dis) Obedience
Wednesday, October 14 | 5:30-7:30 p.m.
This Chautauqua session delves into the challenging dilemma of when one ought to practice civil obedience and when is it acceptable (or even demanded) to exercise the right of civil DIS-obedience as Thoreau once suggested.

Panel Three: In the Pursuit of Happy-ness
Wednesday, November 11 | 5:30-7:30 p.m.
The third "inalienable right" of the Declaration of Independence is the pursuit of happiness. Sounds good, but just what is it that we call "happy-ness" and is that the same as living the "good life"? Such questions will drive this session in our search for clarity on the topic.
