Expert commentators
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:
- Chedly Belkhodja, principal of and professor in the School of Community and Public Affairs of the Faculty of Arts and Science, is interviewed on the Radio Canada 'Première chaîne' program Désautels le dimanche, where he discusses the evolution of immigration policy in Quebec. The link, 'L'évolution du Québec face à l'immigration : Entrevue avec Chedly Belkhodja', is found roughly one-third of the way down the show page.
- Film studies professor Thomas Waugh, Concordia Research Chair in Documentary Film and in Sexual Representation, is quoted in an article in LaPresse.ca that previewed this weekend's presentation of three soft, "maple syrup" Quebec porn films as part of 'Les 35es Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois'. Waugh takes issue with the way gays are portrayed in at least one of the films.
- Zeynep Arsel, associate professor of marketing in the John Molson School of Business, talks to BBC.com about the "buzz marketing" campaign she says has driven sales of the Instant Pot cooker — a tabletop appliance that serves as a pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, saute pan, yogurt maker, warming pot and slow cooker.
- Lady Rojas Benavente, professor in the Department of Classics, Modern Languages and Linguistics of the Faculty of Arts and Science, is interviewed on Radio Canada International (in Spanish) about an event to mark International Women's Day.
