Bombardier layoffs. New BEng. Greenhouse gas through the ages. The late Alootook Ipellie. Indigenous Futures.

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:

• Isabelle Dostaler, management professor at the John Molson School of Business and academic director of Concordia's new Aviation Think Tank, appeared on CBC's The National, last Friday, in a report on the latest wave of layoffs at Bombardier. The Dostaler segment begins at the 12:41-mark. Dostaler was also interviewed for CBC Montreal Radio's Homerun (no link available).
• Catherine Marsden, associate professor in the Centre for Engineering in Society, discusses Concordia's new undergraduate program in aerospace engineering (BEng) in Monocle Magazine. Marsden is director of the program.
• Damon Matthews, associate professor of Geography, Planning and Environment in the Faculty of Arts and Science, is paraphrased in an article in LaPresse.ca about greenhouse gas emissions. Matthews tells the paper that roughly half of the CO2 emitted today will linger in the atmosphere for centuries, or even millennia.
• Heather Igloliorte, assistant professor in the Department of Art History, is quoted in a CBC.ca article about the work of the late artist Alootook Ipellie. Igloliorte is one of the curators working on a project to track down early drawings by Ipellie. The piece is reprised by Yahoo! News.
• The Lethbridge Herald lists Jason Lewis, computation arts professor and director of Milieux’s Indigenous Futures research cluster, among the speakers at a University of Lethbridge symposium on art and technology, taking place this Friday and Saturday.
