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:
- André Gagné, an associate professor in the Department of Religion and the Department of Theology, is quoted in an article in The Beaumont News about why and how certain youth fall into extremist ideologies, such as that extolled by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The article deals specifically with a youth in Beaumont, Alberta, who was accused of attempting to leave Canada to join ISIS and the jihad. The article is reprised by Devon Dispatch.
