  • Anti-Israeli Activity at Concordia University 2000-2003
    www.jcpa.org 6/9/2009 PHAS-Anti-Israeli Activity at Conco… Home » PHAS » Anti-Israeli Activity at Concordia University 2000-2003 by Corinne Berzon Published September 2008 From Manfred Gerstenfeld ( ed.) Academics against Israel and the Jews Anti-Israeli Activity at Concordia University 2000-2003 Corinne Berzon Concordia: A History Concordia University came into existence in 1974 with the merger of the originally Jesuit-run Loyola College and the YMCA-based Sir George Williams University. The two schools came together under the name Concordia, which was borrowed from the motto of the city of Montreal, Concordia salus (wellbeing through harmony).[1] To this day the separate campuses are maintained with a free shuttle bus transporting students and staff back and forth between the two. Concordia is one of two English-language universities in Montreal, the other being McGill. Concordia's motto, "A real education for the real world," is apt; it is home to more than 3,500 international students and over eleven thousand part-time students in a student body of thirty thousand.[2] This accessible education is what originally drew many Jews to attend Concordia at a time when most North American universities, including McGill, had quotas for Jews. Nowadays, with a contingent of approximately four thousand Arab students outnumbering the Jewish population by more than four to one,[3] the tensions between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian groups have come to reflect the conflict that Israel faces among its numerous Arab neighbors. Student Activism at Concordia Concordia has long been considered the Anglophone working man's university, and has also become a politically aware and active campus.

  • Henry F. Hall Building: Classless Spaces
    Gioia 1 Amanda Gioia ARCH 355 March 28th 2013 Henry F. Hall Building: Classless Spaces Fig. 1 Interior of the Hall Building, ground floor, showing corduroy-textured concrete columns, 1965. Courtesy of Concordia University Archives. From Wes Colclough, The Henry Foss Hall Building, Montreal: From Riots to Gardens in Forty Years. (Palimpsest: Montreal 2010), Figure 4. Concordia University’s Henry F. Hall Building assumes an unconventional architectural form embedded with inclusive and egalitarian ideologies. The building’s offices, classrooms and communal spaces are a good illustration of non-hierarchal spaces which adopt principles of equality. Founded on the utopian ideal of having an entire university in one building, Concordia Gioia 2 University, initially named the Sir George Williams University (SGWU), originated from the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA). In 1873, the YMCA organized evening classes for students unable to attend university during the day. The Hall Building opened to the public in October 1966,1 and since then Concordia University has maintained its egalitarian reputation by offering opportunities to students of diverse origins and socio-economic backgrounds, thereby decreasing income inequalities in society. In addition, Concordia has a significantly high percentage of part-time students and its rate of enrolment has recently increased with respect to other Quebec universities.2 Building on the assertion that Concordia University promotes equality and encourages integration of students of diverse backgrounds, a collection of factual and analytical information is presented to address how the University’s democratic educational position fits the architectural form of the Hall Building. This essay argues that the Hall Building's spatial quality is fundamentally connected to Concordia’s philosophy of tolerance through the engagement of an inclusive architecture.
