Fredy Villanueva. Melding art and science.The art of teaching religion.

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:

• Steven High, history professor and Canada Research Chair in the Faculty of Arts and Science, is quoted at length in a piece in Le Devoir about an online petition against the presentation of the Annabel Soutar stage-play Fredy without authorization from the late Fredy Villanueva's family.  
• Rebecca Duclos, dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts, is quoted in a piece in Le Monde about efforts in the academic world to bridge the gap between liberal arts and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).  It mentions a program developed by Duclos called Foyer: a physical space where students from all academic disciplines at Concordia can come together to discuss collaboration. The article includes a link to an earlier Maclean's article about the Foyer initiative.
• Lucian Turcescu, chair of and professor in the Department of Theological Studies, was interviewed on Romanian Orthodox Church Trinitas TV about the art of teaching religion in Canada.
