Profile from Kefaya Diab's Personal Website About Page

As a scholar, educator, and community member, I have a sense of responsibility and a sense of agency that push me to contribute change in the world. In my activist work, I am not only empowered by research and professional experiences, but also by personal experiences that made me recognize injustice around me, as well as my own power as an individual early in my life as a child.

​I heard lots of voices in my childhood through my adulthood, caution me of my desire to change the world, "one crazy person can't change the world," they used to say. Yet, I always carry with me a statement that a Lebanese musician, Ziad Al Rahbani once said "Those crazy ones who believe that they can change the world, are the the ones who will" .

I situate myself in the rhetoric and composition field as an activist teacher-scholar. I adopt the notion that studying rhetoric requires us to account for the materialist conditions, and the multiple actors (humans and non humans) in the world that make rhetoric possible. That makes me believe in the necessity of every small step, every individual effort, every tool, every artifact, every idea... etc that when accumulate affect change over space and time.
