Deep Reading | Maryanne Wolf

Psychologist & Educator Maryanne Wolf introduces us to "deep reading"-- a multiplex process of integrating the Word with the World, allowing the reader to move beyond the wisdom of the author into an entirely new realm of original insight.

Dr. Maryanne Wolf shares her research on the reading brain: its protean capacities; its surprising differences (e.g., in dyslexia); and its changes for good and ill in a digital culture.

These hour long talks are recorded live at The Interval, our bar, cafe, & museum in San Francisco.
