The Incomprehension Workshop with Ann Morgan
Thursday, July 16th, 2026
11:30 AM PT | 2:30 PM ET | 7:30 PM BST on Zoom
This 90-minute interactive session explores how focusing on what we can’t explain might enrich and broaden our understanding of reading, culture and ourselves. Turning the school literature comprehension exercise upside down, we’ll consider a range of extracts from books likely to be outside the comfort zone of participants and play with the questions, problems or reactions that come from not knowing how to read them. As we work through the material, we’ll explore the effects (both good and bad) that assumption and bias have on reading, the idea of embracing discomfort and the opportunities that paying attention to the gaps in our understanding opens up.
