Rachel Kolb Book Talk (Feb. 12, 2026)
Articulate: A Deaf Memoir of Voice (Ecco, 2025) is Rachel Kolb’s debut book about growing up deaf and mainstreamed in the years after the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed. Part memoir, part social commentary, Kolb reflects on the possibilities and stakes of communicating in different languages and sensory forms, from spoken and written English to American Sign Language. Join the author and Rosemarie Garland-Thomson (Emory University) for a virtual book party, which will include some reflections on translating the insights of Deaf and disability studies into general-audience writing. ACCESS: This event will feature ASL interpretation and captioning. Please email other access needs to kgotkin@nyu.edu by Thursday, Feb. 5.
