Biography

Barbara Tannenbaum teaches courses in public speaking and persuasive communication in the Department of Theatre, Speech and Dance at Brown University. Her skills as a teacher, lecturer and seminar leader have earned her an international clientele consisting of doctors, lawyers, state supreme and appellate court judges, politicians (including U.S. senators) and community and organization leaders.

Research

I work with students, politicians and professionals to explore the most effective methods of persuasion in the context of real-life communication circumstances. I use videotape and feedback sessions to help individuals identify ways in which they can take up more space and increase their personal persuasive capacity.
