Life after Rio. Terror bombing. Niger delta overture. Shirley cards. Climate change and the plural sector.

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 appears on the Radio Canada program '24 heures en 60 minutes' to discuss the recent suicide bombing of a Kurdish wedding in southeastern Turkey.

• Lorna Roth, professor in the Department of Communication Studies, is heard in a Vox video clip, posted to You Tube, describing "Shirley cards" — color reference cards used in photography —  and how, for decades, color photography fed into a racial bias that favoured white people over darker-skinned people.
• Alex Megelas, of the Office of Community Engagement at Concordia, is paraphrased in two separate blog entries by McGill management professor Henry Mintzberg. The articles concern a panel discussion at the recent World Social Forum in Montreal focusing on how the plural sector can spur the private and public sectors into concerted action against climate change: the first blog post here, the second, here.
