	~~==Emily Gan==~~

	Emily Gan is a photographer and filmmaker from Montreal. She holds a BA in Communication Studies and Photography from Concordia University (Montreal). She has shown work in Montreal, Canada and Nantes, France and has
	contributed to publications including Magazine Intérieurs and VICE. As a documentarist, she has worked as a photographer and sound recordist on two independent features: With This Ring, co-directed by Ameesha Joshi and Anna Sarkissian (in post-production) and Re-framing U.S. National Parks, directed by Anna Sarkissian (in development). In fiction, Emily was the assistant editor on the feature film, Dallas Buyer’s Club, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée in 2013.

	CAVEBIRDS (in post-production) is an essay documentary and Emily’s first feature project. The film follows her father, Hok-Wah (Howard) Gan, to his homeland of Malaysia as he and his brothers set up a bird's nest farming business. Situating us among Emily's extended Chinese Malaysian family, the film moves from big cities to tiny hamlets. Meanwhile, the birds, ever-present, act as a conduit between Emily and her family members, prompting conversations about family, home, and heritage.

	When Himmat Shinhat, BComm 80, moved to Canada from England in the late 1970s, he felt a sense of disappointment. Montreal, in his experience as a member of a visible minority, was years behind England regarding multiculturalism and integration. Eventually Shinhat found his way to a place where things seemed different — Concordia. There, Shinhat found a “network of South Asian friends” and a “very progressive” student body and faculty that gave him the sense of be- longing he longed for. “There was a lot more attention paid to being inclusive with respect to racial and class diversity,” he says. The university was also a hotbed of progressive politics, which resonated with him.After graduating, Shinhat began working with a South Asian advocacy organization. Quickly rising through the ranks, within four years he was named the organization’s executive director. In the 1980s, he was recruited by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (now Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada).After a long career with Immigration and Citizenship Canada, in 2016 Himmat Shinhat began working with Syrian refugees as director of outreach for the Syrian Refugee Resettlement Initiative in Ottawa, his last stop before retiring in 2017.

Her thesis project developed super paramagnetic iron oxide theranostic nanoparticles for MRI imaging and targeted drug delivery to the brain. She has also completed research internships at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, working on layer-by-layer nanoparticles, as well as liposomes, for anti-fibrotic treatment following glaucoma filtration surgeries. Then, she spent two years in Fuzhou, China, at a special needs foster home teaching and developing its creative arts program. She is now back in Canada as a Masters/PhD student working on creating upconversion nanoparticles for on-demand drug release upon NIR irradiation, and other biomedical applications, like bioimaging and biosensing. In her free time, she volunteers at an art co-operative, cooks experimentally with various cuisines and camps out at cafes where she writes and does all things creative.

Eventually Shinhat found his way to a place where things seemed different — Concordia. There, Shinhat found a “network of South Asian friends” and a “very progressive” student body and faculty that gave him the sense of be- longing he longed for. “There was a lot more attention paid to being inclusive with respect to racial and class diversity,” he says. The university was also a hotbed of progressive politics, which resonated with him.After graduating, Shinhat began working with a South Asian advocacy organization. Quickly rising through the ranks, within four years he was named the organization’s executive director. In the 1980s, he was recruited by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (now Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada).After a long career with Immigration and Citizenship Canada, in 2016 Himmat Shinhat began working with Syrian refugees as director of outreach for the Syrian Refugee Resettlement Initiative in Ottawa, his last stop before retiring in 2017.
