Boko Haram horrors. Living with autism. Sync up. Pokemon.

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, senior deputy director of the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS), is interviewed on the Friday, May 22 episode of the CTV program Power Play, where he discusses the violent activities of the jihadist Boko Haram organization in Nigeria. The full episode is behind a Bell User pay wall, and there is no "video highlights" link available.
• Huffington Post  reprises an opinion piece by Kathleen O'Grady, research associate at the Simone de Beauvoir Institute, that originally appeared in the Chicago Tribune, in March. O'Grady writes about her autistic son and his gift for finding joy in so simple a thing as the unexpected appearance of a city bus on her street. 
• The Montreal Gazette publishes a piece whose author analyzes the rise in the use of the term "sync" and mentions an instance where the term "sync up" appeared in a Gazette opinion piece by President Alan Shepard, in 2013.
