The Conversation Project: A New Chautauqua offers Oregon nonprofits free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future. Conversations are facilitated by some of Oregon's most respected humanities scholars.
Past Oregon Chautauqua Scholars Available for Independent Programs
In 2009, Oregon Humanities transformed its Oregon Chautauqua program into the Conversation Project: a New Chautauqua, which focuses on facilitated dialogue about contemporary themes. Nonprofit organizations in Oregon may request Conversation Project programs throughout the year through the same application process used for the former Oregon Chautauqua program.
Many organizations and community groups have forged strong relationships with the Oregon Chautauqua scholars who have traveled across Oregon these past thirty years, and we are happy to facilitate those ongoing relationships by making the following information available. Below is a downloadable listing of past Oregon Chautauqua scholars who remain available, independent of Oregon Humanities, to make presentations to organizations and community groups across the state.
Please note that these presentations are not offered through Oregon Humanities and may not be advertised using the name Oregon Chautauqua. Oregon Humanities will not be involved in the booking process for any of these programs, nor will the organization pay honoraria or travel expenses for the scholars’ presentations. All contractual agreements and speaking fees must be arranged between the sponsoring organization and the individual scholar(s).

Sorry about that, Reggie. It should show up now.

It is a shame that the Council does not support these terrific former Chautauquans. How many libraries, museums, etc., can afford to pay for these folks?
