Here’s a recording of a talk I gave earlier today at Rutgers. It’s about civilizational analysis, and the late Samuel P. Huntington, and a few other things too — including some remarks on the purpose of social science. A little sprawling, but I think it holds together.

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.

Here’s a recording of the introductory comments I made at an SIS-American University faculty-PhD student reading group in which we discuss recent IR articles.

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.)
