Please join us on Thursday, February 12 from 4 - 5pm ET on Zoom for a book talk with author Rachel Kolb and Rosemarie Garland-Thomson (Emory University)! More info and registration: nyu.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
The book cover of Articulate: A Deaf Memoir of Voice by Rachel Kolb. The background is a gradient of deep purple blending into red and pink. The word ARTICULATE is repeated vertically, with each repetition becoming increasingly distorted and fragmented until the last repetition which appears normal. The last repetition of ARTICULATE is bold and centered near the bottom. Below it, the subtitle says, A DEAF MEMOIR OF VOICE, in yellow uppercase letters. The author's name, RACHEL KOLB, appears at the bottom in white uppercase letters.

On this day in 2020, we lost Stacey Park Milbern, a fierce advocate and activist who taught us about disability justice, love, organizing, and so much more. Spend a moment today with some of her most important works here: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2020/05/23/s...
There is a textured grey gradient background with a light rounded corner rectangle. Blue text reads: Remembering Stacey Park Milbern. Black text reads: On this day in 2020, we lost Stacey Park Milbern, a fierce advocate and activist who taught us about disability justice, love, organizing, and so much more. There is a quotation in italics: I want to leave a legacy of disabled people knowing we are powerful and beautiful because of who we are, not despite of it.” There is a picture of Stacey, a mixed race Korean and white person outside in front of plants. She has short dark hair, glasses, a white and blue striped shirt, and has a visible trach tube.

How to be Disabled in a Pandemic is a collective research effort (w/ @harriskornstein.bsky.social among many others) to document ableism & disability activism in NYC during the first 4 years of COVID-19. Out next month from @nyupress.bsky.social -- a surprise of advance copies in yesterday's mail:
Photograph of the book How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic on a wood shelf next to a vase with red tulips. The book has a black paperback cover featuring a blue surgical mask printed with the title in red. The cover image was created by the artists The Brothers Sick, Ezra and Noah Benus. In the bottom right hand corner in white print are listed the editors' names: Mara Mills, Harris Kornstein, Faye Ginsburg, Rayna Rapp
A photograph of two pages from the color insert in the middle of How to be Disabled in a Pandemic. Two dried mushrooms are being used as paperweights to hold the book open. On the left page is a photograph of an installation in Washington Square Park titled Curtain Armor by Chong Gu and Yin Q. The artwork was part of a vigil organized by Red Canary Song commemorating the 8 lives lost during a shooting at an Asian massage parlor in Atlanta on March 16, 2021. Curtain armor is composed of two massage tables, set in Washington Square, and surrounded by white curtains on which hang portraits. On the right hand page is a photograph titled View of Protest Traveling Down Park Row, taken by autistic photographer Christopher Lucka during the Black Lives Matter protests in New York City in summer 2020.

CDS is so excited share our new logo, created by Jules Galbraith. The logo is in homage to Alt Text as Poetry blue and Derek Jarman's Blue (IKB).
NYU Center for Disability Studies logo. The letters C D S are formed of a stroke of equal width tapering to one side at the ends. The C and the S connect underneath the D, making it appear elevated or supported. The C and S are in the Alt Text as Poetry blue and the D is Derek Jarman blue (IKB).
