Lillian Glass is an American interpersonal communication and body language expert, media commentator, litigation consultant, and author. Her books include Toxic People, Talk to Win, Say It Right, He Says She Says, and several books on body language.
Glass received a bachelor of science degree from Bradley University in Speech and Hearing Sciences, where she was named one of Glamour Magazine's Top 10 College Women. She earned her master of science degree from the University of Michigan, where she became interested in gender differences in communication and the study of cranial and dental- facial abnormalities.
At age 24, she received a doctorate degree from the University of Minnesota and was awarded a Bush Foundation fellowship. She majored in communication disorders, with an emphasis on speech and hearing sciences, and minored in clinical genetics. Because of her interest in psychology, her doctoral dissertation focused on Psychosocial Perceptions of Speech and Cosmetic Appearance of Patients with Craniofacial Abnormalities.
She received a post doctorate in Medical Genetics at UCLA School of Medicine where she received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Grant and did research on speech and hearing problems of patients with a variety of genetic diseases, including those with neurological and skeletal problems. Glass published her research in various professional journals, including the New England Journal of Medicine where she described distinct voice patterns in patients with neurofibromatosis. She also discovered a genetic syndrome involving deafness and a dental abnormality, described as the Glass-Gorlin Syndrome (oligondtia and sensorineural deafness).
In 2013, Glass attended Pepperdine University's School of Law Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution, where she studied mediation.
Upon completing her post doctoral training at UCLA School of Medicine, Glass became an Associate Professor at the University of Southern California (USC). She held joint appointments with the School of Medicine, Department of Medical Genetics, School of Dentistry, and Department of Speech Communication and was a researcher at the University of Southern California Speech Research Lab.
