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 an article in the online edition of The Kingston Whig-Standard in which he expresses concern about Canada's seeming indifference to the plight of Christians, Yezidis and other minorities in Iraq and Syria, targeted by ISIS. The piece is reprised by the Assyrian International News Agency.
