Social
Gender and Communication 13 May 2009
The differences between men and women

Communication is central to our social and emotional lives. But do men and women speak the same language? Do we use tone and pitch differently? And if so, why, and to what effect?  Jenni discusses gender and communication with Deborah Cameron, Professor of Language and Communication, University of Oxford, and Professor Sophie Scott from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London who are both taking part in the ICA Conference: Our Speaking Selves.

Institute of Contemporary Arts Conference: Our Speaking Selves on 17th May in London
