President Elliot Hirshman will introduce the talk, “The Centrality of Body Language in Everyday Life.” In his presentation, Andersen will discuss how research about families and romantic relationships and professionals such as doctors, lawyers, managers and teachers suggest that nonverbal behavior is the most important variable in competent, effective communication.
