Diana Boxer    

Professor Emerita of Linguistics at University of Florida

Diana Boxer is professor of linguistics at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Her research and teaching focus on the analysis of face-to-face discourse with family, friends and colleagues, and in public life, or what she calls "real world linguistics." She also teaches and writes about gender differences in conversational interaction, cross-cultural interactions, and second language learners' spoken discourse.

Born in a displaced person's camp in post WWII Germany, Boxer immigrated to the US with her parents and brother before her first birthday and became a naturalized citizen five years later. She is the author or editor of four books, including "The Lost Art of the Good Schmooze: Building Rapport and Defusing Conflict in Everyday and Public Talk."
