Researchers in the news

The scholarly work of Concordia faculty and researchers informs and improves society on many issues that affect our daily lives. Visit the Research section to read news stories involving research at Concordia, or read the most recent items here:   

  • The Toronto Star publishes a piece describing a journalism project involving Concordia professors and reporters at the Montreal Gazette. The pilot project, part of the Toronto Star's  Atkinson Fellowship, will focus on roadwork-related problems in Montreal, with articles to be written by Concordia professors and the Gazette later this month. Concordia's university communications service is providing editorial assistance to the professors involved in different academic aspects of roadwork, including urban planning, engineering, political science and business. Philippe Beauregard, chief communications officer in Concordia University's Communication Services, is quoted. The Concordia/Gazette journalism project is referenced in a related piece in The Toronto Star.
  • Jeannine-Marie St-Jacques, assistant professor in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment in the Faculty of Arts and Science, was interviewed on CBC Montreal's 'Daybreak', yesterday morning (no link available). St-Jacques talked about the PAGES2k Global 2,000 Year Multiproxy Database — a comprehensive database of past global temperature records, on which she collaborated.
  • Rats de Ville announces a show of the work of artist François Morelli, professor of painting and drawing in the Department of Studio Arts and a Concordia alumnus (BFA), on through December 17 at the 1700 La Poste art centre.
