Ethnic cleansing in Myanmar. Your profile in the Tinder Age. Electronic bracelets and the homeless. Usurped newspaper content. Chemists pulling together.

Concordia faculty and researchers are regularly asked to offer expert, informed opinions on many of today's most pressing problems. Read some of the latest news items about Concordians:

• Kyle Matthews, executive director of the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS) at Concordia, is interviewed on camera for Global News Montreal (link titled "Canadians should care about genocide in Myanmar ") and is quoted in a related text story about the plight of the Rohingya, fleeing Myanmar and what a growing number of observers say is genocide.
• The New Zealand Herald reprises an article from The Conversation Canada by doctoral candidate Chaim Kuhnreich (marketing), who writes about the Tinder application and what your profile pic on the mobile dating application says about you.
• Gilbert Émond, associate professor of applied human sciences in the Faculty of Arts and Science, is signatory to a letter in Le Devoir that advocates against a proposal to introduce electronic bracelets for homeless people that would allow passersby to donate virtual money for the purchase of a predetermined set of goods and services. The signatories find such a measure paternalistic and condescending.
• Acadie Nouvelle picks up an open letter whose signatories, including Mike Gasher, professor emeritus of journalism in the Faculty of Arts and Science, demand federal government action to stem the use by such internet giants as Google and Facebook of content produced by newspapers. 
• Assistant professor of chemistry in the Faculty of Arts and Science, Ashlee Howarth co-authors a piece in Nature calling on experimentalists and theorists within the scientific field of chemistry to work together to advance the study of porous materials.
