- Graham Dodds, associate professor of political science in the Faculty of Arts and Science, appeared on different shows on CJAD Radio coverage of yesterday's Senate Intelligence Committee testimony of former FBI director James Comey: between 10 and noon, with commentary during CJAD's live broadcast of the hearings (no link available); analysis on the Leslie Roberts Show (go to the "Listen" section toward the bottom of the page and click on "See More" until the link appears, "Graham Dodds weighs in on the Comey testimony").
- Damon Matthews, associate professor in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment in the Faculty of Arts and Science, was interviewed on CBC Radio's 'Homerun' yesterday about prospects for the Paris climate accord following the announced withdrawal of the United States (no link available).
- Healthcare Finance and Columbia Basin Herald reprise an opinion piece from the New York Times (June 6) quoting Lea Prevel Katsanis, marketing professor in the John Molson School of Business, about the role of health insurers in the ongoing discussion of cost-efficient medicine.
- RadioCanadaInternational.ca quotes Kyle Matthews, executive director of the Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS) at Concordia, in a text story about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's meeting with Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung Sun Suu Kyi in Ottawa, earlier this week. The story links to an earlier interview of Matthews on Radio Canada International, where the MIGS director said Trudeau must press Suu Kyi on the threat to Myanmar's Rohingya Muslim minority, which Matthews says is facing genocide.
