Deborah Tannen, an internationally renowned professor of linguistics at Georgetown University and a bestselling author, is a frequent guest on national television and radio, including 20/20, The Oprah Winfrey Show, NBC’s Today, and NPR’s Fresh Air and 1A. She has written for and been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek, Time and Harvard Business Review, among many others. 

Join Deborah Tannen as she discusses her just-published memoir, Finding My Father and reflects on how her father’s life mirrors the historic times he lived through, tracing her father’s life from turn-of-the-century Warsaw to New York City in an intimate memoir about family, memory, and the stories we tell. Deborah describes how writing this book forced her to question her assumptions about her father, her parents' marriage, and her own life. She also draws on insights from her many books to discuss how our ways of speaking can shape our relationships – and how our ways of speaking have changed, and changed our relationships, during COVID-19.

In addition to her groundbreaking communication research, Deborah is also the author of You Just Don't Understand, which was on the New York Times bestseller list for nearly four years, the New York Times bestsellers You're Wearing THAT? about mothers and daughters and You Were Always Mom's Favorite! about sisters.
