What is Chautauqua? The modern Chautauqua movement began in 1976 as a type of "tent revival" for the humanities, to evoke discussion about history. The idea of Chautauqua also answered the dilemma many humanities organizations faced: how to make it possible for scholars to interact with the public in an open and accessible forum.
