We are honoured to welcome Kamal Riahi as a Visiting Fellow to Massey College. Kamel is a Tunisian novelist, literary critic, and creative writing instructor, currently based in Toronto, Canada. He has taught creative writing at Carleton University in Ottawa and autobiographical writing and the art of diaries at the University of Toronto. A member of PEN Canada, Riahi serves as Director of the House of Fiction Cultural Centre in Toronto and is the founder of the Toronto International Forum of the Art of Diaries.
Regarded as one of Tunisia’s leading defenders of democracy and a prominent literary and media voice of the Arab Spring generation, Kamel Riahi has paid a significant personal and professional price for his steadfast commitment to freedom of expression and democratic values.
