SUMMARY:Rachel Kolb — Articulate: A Deaf Memoir of Voice - with Kristen Harmon — at Union Market
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Kolb was born profoundly deaf the same year that the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed\, and she grew up as part of the first generation of deaf people with legal rights to accessibility services. Still\, from a young age\, she contorted herself to expectations set by a world that prioritizes hearing people. So even while she found clarity and meaning in American Sign Language (ASL) and written literature\, she learned to speak through speech therapy and to piece together missing sounds through lipreading and an eventual cochlear implant. \nNow\, in Articulate\, Kolb blends personal narrative with commentary to explore the different layers of deafness\, language\, and voice. She tells the story of how\, over time\, she came to realize that clear or articulate self-expression isn’t just a static pinnacle to reach\, a set of words to pronounce correctly\, but rather a living and breathing process that happens between individual human beings. In chronicling her own voice and the many ways she’s come to understand it\, Kolb illuminates the stakes and complexities of finding mutual and reciprocal forms of communication. \nPart memoir\, part cultural exploration\, Articulate details a life lived among words in varied sensory forms and considers why and how those words matter. Told through rich storytelling\, analysis\, and humor\, this is a linguistic coming-of-age in both Deaf and hearing worlds\, challenging us to consider how language expresses our humanity–and offering more ways we might exist together. \nRachel Kolb is a graduate of Stanford University\, she was the first signing deaf Rhodes Scholar at Oxford\, holds a PhD in English literature from Emory University\, and recently completed a junior fellowship in the Society of Fellows at Harvard University. Her work has appeared in The New York Times and The Atlantic\, among other venues. Her book Articulate: A Deaf Memoir of Voice will come out from Ecco in Fall 2025. \nKolb will be in conversation with Kristen Harmon\, a Professor of English at Gallaudet University specializing in Deaf literature and creative writing. She has published fiction\, creative nonfiction\, and scholarship on Deaf literature\, bilingual writing\, and narrative methodologies. Her most recent work includes short stories and creative non-fiction in Dinner Table Syndrome and Tripping the Tale Fantastic and essays in Sign Language Studies\, Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies\, and the Routledge Companion to Literature and Disability. She has written for and edited multiple anthologies of Deaf creative writing\, including Deaf American Prose. \nThis event is free with first come\, first serve seating.\nASL interpreters will be at the event. \nP&P on Connecticut Ave. NW is wheelchair accessible. There is a van-accessible parking spot in our lot across from the entrance to The Den Coffeehouse. \nThe store is situated on two floors. While stairs provide quick passage between the floors\, we also have an elevator\, located in the Children and Teens Department (near the puzzles and toys) on the lower level and in the Fiction Room on the main level. \nThere is a staircase to enter the Sale Books room on the main level. To access this room without stairs\, notify a P&P bookseller for guidance to an alternate entrance. \nTo request accommodations for this event or to inquire about accessibility please email events@politics-prose.com ideally one week in advance of the event date. We will make an effort to accommodate all requests up until the time of the event.
