Prof. Katherine D. Kinzler on How You Say It: Why You Talk the Way You Do And What It Says About You
(8/3/20) We gravitate toward people like us; it\u2019s human nature. Race, class, and gender shape our social identities, the people we perceive as \u201clike us\u201d or \u201cnot like us.\u201d But one overlooked factor can be even more powerful\u2014the way we speak. In her new book \u201cHow You Say It: Why You Talk the Way You Do And What It Says About You,\u201d Professor of Psychology at the University of Chicago Katherine D. Kinzler examines how and why the way we talk is central to our social identity. Join us for an examination of this largely overlooked phenomenon in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
