![A Conversation with Sandra Cisneros - Writers Symposium by the Sea 2025
Sandra Cisneros is a Latina American short-story writer and poet regarded as a key figure in Chicano literature. She is best known for her first novel, The House on Mango Street, and her subsequent short story collection, Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories. Her work experiments with literary forms that investigate emerging subject positions, which Cisneros herself attributes to growing up in a context of cultural hybridity and economic inequality that endowed her with unique stories to tell. She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, a Ford Foundation Art of Change Fellowship, the USA Literary Award, and a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship,
As part of the 30th anniversary of the Writers Symposium by the Sea, Cisneros joins host Dean Nelson for this passionate conversation at Point Loma Nazarene University. [4/2025] [Show ID: 40218]

![The Rescue: Centering Autistic Voices in Film
A version of this video with audio description track is available here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNdtu70ukTQ
Authentic autism representation begins with listening to autistic people and including them in stories about their lives. Seth Bakke, producer, writer and director of The Rescue, explains how his autistic cousin Aaron and a poem by autistic typer Peter Tran inspired the film. Bakke describes working with Aaron on screen, consulting the Tran family and adapting the set to support his needs. Autistic typers Otto Lana and Peter Tran, joined by Steven Tran, a postdoctoral researcher at UC San Diego, discuss where the film reflects their experiences, where it simplifies communication through typing and why creative freedom must remain grounded in lived experience. They address presuming competence, the difference between hearing and listening, and the need for autistic actors and advisers. Their participation challenges stereotypes and helps audiences see they should be full participants in their own stories. Recorded on 11/07/2025. [Show ID: 41175]

Q: Why is authentic autism representation important in film?
A: Representation helps shape how audiences understand autistic people. The panel explains that involving autistic actors, advisers and storytellers can reduce reliance on stereotypes and bring lived experience into the creative process.
Q: What is multimodality communication?
A: In this discussion, multimodality communication includes methods such as typing on a keyboard or speller board, sometimes with support from a communication partner. The panel emphasizes that each person’s path to communication is different and may require time and scaffolded support.
Q: How did autistic people help shape The Rescue?
A: Peter Tran’s poem and experiences helped inspire the story, while Seth Bakke’s autistic cousin Aaron appeared in the film. The Tran family reviewed the script and an early cut, and autistic panelists later discussed how the film reflected or simplified their experiences.

Political decision-making affects governments and societies in important ways. Sir Christopher Clark, Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge, explains how choices become decisions within political, legal, and cultural systems. Clark examines rational choice theory, cognitive bias, and decisions about war, helping clarify how power acts under pressure. This work helps explain why decisions are never purely abstract and points toward a richer understanding of political judgment. Recorded on 05/04/2026. [8/2026] [Show ID: 41448]
