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:

• Guy Lachapelle, professor in the Department of Political Science,  is quoted in a Canadian Press article about the resignation of Pierre Karl Péladeau as leader of the Parti Québécois. Lachapelle talks about Péladeau's legacy as party leader and his efforts to rally economic players to the sovereignist cause. The article notes that Lachapelle is a member of the board of directors of the recently-formed Institut de recherche sur l’autodétermination des peuples et les indépendances nationales (IRAI), established by Péladeau to direct research into economic and other aspects of sovereignty.
