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:
- Varda Mann-Feder, professor in the Department of Applied Human Sciences, appeared on CTV News at Noon on Thursday to discuss her research about why the millennial generation is not moving out.
- South China Morning Post features an article about a Michigan State University study that found a correlation between childhood engagement in the creative arts and measurable success later in life. The article mentions research conducted by Virginia Penhune, professor in the Department of Psychology and CRDH researcher, that found that musical training before age seven has a significant effect on the development of the brain, an effect substantial enough to be seen on a brain scan.
- Curator Vincent Bonin will address the Leonard and Bina Art Gallery’s current exhibition, D’un discours qui ne serait pas du semblant on November 23 at 3 p.m.: Canadian Art.
