CCCC is proud to continue the tradition of publishing podcast episodes concerning the authors’ work in every issue of CCC.
The episodes discuss the contexts of the authors’ research and pedagogy projects that resulted in their published articles. We hope that the episodes will inspire CCC readers to implement at least some of the aspects of research, pedagogy, and writing practices that the authors discuss in the readers’ scholarship and classrooms. We hope that you’ll enjoy listening to the podcast episodes, as well as reading the full articles of the featured authors.
The podcasts were produced by the CCC editorial fellow (2019–2020), Kefaya Diab. The production includes arranging for and facilitating the recorded conversations, editing them into podcast episodes, and transcribing the audio episodes into text to facilitate readability accessibility to the journal’s audience.
Kefaya Diab holds a PhD in rhetoric and professional communication. She currently serves as a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University (2018–2021). In her research, she engages rhetorical theory and cultural (digital) rhetorics in theorizing activist movements in the Arab world. In teaching, she adopts a critical pedagogy and labor-based learning contracts that invite students to utilize digital rhetorics and composition as tools to promote social justice. Her work has appeared in Sexual Harassment and Cultural Change in Writing Studies, Composition Studies, and Paideia-16 Textbook. She can be reached on her personal website: kefayadiab.weebly.com.
Music used in the podcast episodes is “Live the Moment” by Mikael Manvelyan.
