Salon

A place for conversation.

Take a passage off the screen. Read it together. Make room for disagreement that stays attached to the text.

A sixty-minute reading

Small group. One passage. One honest conversation.

The Salon is a reader tool, not an event calendar. Use the framework below to host your own discussion around any available Reading Room material.

00-05
Arrive with a question
Each reader names one idea they want to test.
05-15
Read one passage together
Give everyone a quiet minute with the text.
15-35
Follow the disagreement
Ask which words in the passage support each interpretation.
35-50
Bring it into the room
Connect the argument to another book, institution or lived experience.
50-60
Take one idea away
End with the question each reader is still carrying.
