Expert commentators
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) at Concordia, is quoted in a piece posted on CBC.ca analyzing Turkey's motivations for shooting down a Russian jet in its airspace.
- Information and Documentation Analyst Estelle Bouthillier, an expert on the British monarchy, was interviewed this morning on TVA's Salut Bonjour and on LCN Le Matin concerning the meeting of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with the Queen at Buckingham Palace (no links available).
- CBC.ca posts a photo album of To Light the Fire, an indigenous art symposium in Happy Valley Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. It includes a photo of Heather Igloliorte, an assistant professor in the Department of Art History and an Inuk curator, listed as a symposium participant.
- An article in Spectacle about the circus arts in the U.S. reffers to Patrick Leroux, an associate professor in the Department of English and the Département d'Études Françaises and founding director of the Montreal Working Group on Cirque/Circus, as the acedemic leader of the circus scene. The article also references an earlier piece in the Washington Post about Montreal's circus arts, in which Leroux is quoted.
- Our Windsor and The Hamilton Spectator reprise an earlier article quoting Louis Bherer, scientific director of the PERFORM Centre at Concordia, about scientific studies that have shown the significant benefits of regular exercise in warding off dementia.
