PORTABLE PROFESSOR is a collection of enthralling and educational lectures delivered by some of today’s most recognized university and college instructors. Each course offers students to new, and often shocking, insights into the intellectual factors that influence our worldview.

This intriguing series of lectures is based on Professor Deborah Tannen’s breakthrough study into the basic variations in how the sexes interact using language. Men and women react to each other and among themselves in strikingly diverse and surprisingly predictable ways, from conversational style and body language to the use of tone and vocabulary, and this begins very early in life. This course investigates many of the causes for these distinctions, as well as the drawbacks, repercussions, and advantages of these various styles of contact.
