autism talk

ptj — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:05:43 +0000

Here’s a presentation I gave to a course in our MA program in Special Education. The topic: autism. My qualifications: my autistic son, and my having read a lot of stuff. Caveat auditor: I’m not an autism expert, but I do know a thing or three (and unlike certain presidential candidates, I don’t confuse autism and Down’s Syndrome).

How to talk about the future

ptj — Thu, 08 May 2008 03:04:53 +0000

Here’s a talk I gave to the Phi Beta Kappa induction dinner at American University, 7 May 2008.

Note that I actually forgot to make the point I was planning to make about Battlestar Galactica: the show is effectively serving as a speculative world take on “alien-ness” by continually blurring the human/Cylon boundary. (That will make more sense after you listen to the podcast.)

Note that if you download this instead of playing it in the pop-up player, you get navigation menus — and a bigger image.

Delivered to the Ph.D. seminar at the School of International Service, American University, 4 April 2008. This is enhanced .m4a, so it has slides and you’ll need iTunes or QuickTime Player to view it.
