TQ 065 Professor Deutsch from Massachusetts

Francine and I both stayed at a very nice place in Vientiane, Laos. The owner is Mr. Boddington, who I interviewed last week. She is a professor of psychology at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, a state in the northeast of the U. S. Her husband is also a professor. Francine hates cold weather, so she tries to spend the coldest months in a warm place, like Laos. Her special area of interest is in how couples share household and child-raising duties. She's the author of a book called "Halving it all" and has been working on another book while she's been at this Jungle House in Laos. Listen as we talk about what kind of psychology she teaches, her favorite Jewish holiday, and her love of Paris.
