The College of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences at Gannon University will present two distinct and engaging events as part of its CHESS Speaker Series. These programs invite the campus and community to explore courageous inquiry and civil discourse through the arts. The upcoming events are: 

“We Continue” – Saturday, Nov. 1, 7:30 p.m., Schuster Theatre 
This dynamic performance celebrates the lives and legacies of three influential Native American women: Sacagawea, the Shoshone guide and interpreter for the Lewis and Clark expedition; Zitkala-Ša, renowned writer, musician and activist; and Wilma Mankiller, the first woman Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Developed by the internationally touring Core Ensemble, the production blends music, theatre and history, featuring works by Native American composers and an immersive performance.

General admission is $15; student admission is $10 using code STUDENT. Tickets can be purchased on the .  

“Carved in Memory” – Friday, Nov. 7, 7:30 p.m., Schuster Theatre 
Presented by Gannon University’s School of Communication and the Arts, this cultural celebration showcases two regional folk artists and culture bearers: Nibal Abd El Karim, Palestinian singer and educator; and Victoria Angelo, African singer, dancer and storyteller. The performance explores Arabic and African musical traditions through song, dance and storytelling, providing context and meaning to cultures across the globe. This event is free and open to the public.  

The theme of the CHESS Speaker Series is inspired by philosopher Immanuel Kant’s call to “sapere aude,” which translates to “dare to know.”  

“The theme ‘Dare to Know’ challenges us to think critically, listen deeply and engage courageously with perspectives different from our own,” said Lori Lindley, Ph.D., dean of Gannon University’s College of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences. “Through performances like ‘We Continue’ and ‘Carved in Memory’, we are invited to encounter stories and cultural expressions that expand our understanding of human experience. These events embody the very heart of the CHESS Speaker Series, and foster curiosity, empathy and dialogue across communities.” 

The Global Summit XVII presented by the Jefferson Educational Society is also a part of 名媛直播’s CHESS Speaker Series.
