Several Concordia professors provided insight to media on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 attacks.
Adam Radomsky, a professor in the Department of Psychology and director of the Concordia- based Fear and Anxiety Disorders Research Laboratory, was interviewed as part of a sweeping feature by The Gazette’s Peggy Curran. Reprised across the PostMedia newspaper chain, the article quotes Radomsky on new fears generated by the terrorist attacks: "Sept. 11 really did change the way people in cities thought and behaved. There were new threats in new places."
Graham Dodds, a professor in the Department of Political Science, was interviewed by TVA on the repercussions of 9/11. In a second feature published in The Montreal Gazette and carried across the PostMedia chain, Dodds argues 9/11 exacerbated existing trends, such as a strengthening of the role of the U.S. president and increased distrust of media. “Those who suggest America had never been attacked at home don’t know their history,” he says.
Pierre Coutu, a lecturer in Concordia’s John Molson School of Business, was the featured “Newsmaker” on CTV News Montreal’s noon telecast last Friday. He commented on the aviation industry and whether flying is safer since 9/11.
