Daniel Post Senning (born c. 1978[1]) is an American etiquette expert. He is the co-president of the Emily Post Institute,[2] founded by his great-great-grandmother Emily Post.

Early life and career

Senning attended Pomona College, where he participated in the guerilla founding of the Pomona College Organic Farm[1] and graduated with a degree in molecular biology in 1999.[3] He began his career in modern dance, touring with the Laurie Cameron Company.[4] He taught contact improv with the Beijing Modern Dance Company.[1]

Etiquette career

Senning joined the Emily Post Institute in 2008 in an entry-level administrative role.[1] In December 2016, he was named its co-president alongside his cousin Lizzie Post, becoming the fifth generation in his family to run the institute since its founding by Emily Post,[1] a socialite who became famous for her writings about etiquette.[5]

Senning co-authored the 19th edition of Emily Post's Etiquette.[6] He has been widely quoted in the media as an expert on etiquette in various settings,[7] including the workplace,[8] pandemics,[2][9] and online spaces.[10] Since 2014, he has co-hosted, with Lizzie Post, the Q&A podcast Awesome Etiquette, which is produced by American Public Media.[2][1][4]

Senning advocates for the reframing of the idea of etiquette for contemporary society, responding to the notion that it is an outdated or elitist concept.[1] He defines etiquette as a combination of manners, which are context-specific, and guiding principles, chiefly "consideration, honesty, and respect for others".[4][11]

Personal life

Senning lives in Duxbury, Vermont,[11] with his wife Puja (née Gupta), whom he married in 2015.[1][6] He has two daughters.[6]
