The Canisius University Borders and Migrations Event Series presents an artist talk by Millie Chen on the “Silk Road Songbook” (SRS) project on Thursday, October 16, at 5:00 p.m. The event will take place in the Library Learning Center and is free and open to the public.
Chen will discuss the complex creative process behind SRS, an innovative audio-video and publication project currently on view at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in Buffalo. The project weaves songs of resistance into landscapes along an ancient Eurasian migration route, broadcasting women’s distinct, unruly voices from Istanbul, Tehran, Tashkent, Bishkek, and Xi’an.
By conveying the complex stories emerging from each place and person involved, SRS challenges Orientalist exoticism, cultural tourism and censorship, disrupting the grand, tidy narrative of the popular perception of the “Silk Road.” The songs were created by collaborators in communities along the route, who chose the landscapes, musical genres, and lyrical content themselves. For each location, their voices serve as the dynamic driving force while the land provides the visual anchor.

The Canisius University Physician Assistant Studies program is seeking volunteers to serve as Standardized Patients during clinical skills training throughout the year. No medical experience is required. A brief training will be provided.
A standardized patient (SP) is a person who has been trained to consistently portray the role of a patient with a specific medical condition, history, or set of symptoms in a realistic and standardized manner. Standardized patients are used in PA education to provide students with safe, structured opportunities to practice and demonstrate clinical, communication, and professional skills. Because SPs are trained to present cases in the same way for each learner, they allow for fair assessment, feedback, and evaluation of student performance in simulated clinical encounters.
All students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate! This is an excellent way to support our PA student’s success. Interested students are encouraged to volunteer to bolster their resumes and earn service hours for graduate school applications.
Sociology, Criminal Justice, and Honors students participated in a Native American Cultural Competency workshop as part of their Identity and Race & Ethnicity classes. The workshop covered the diversity of Indigenous groups in North America, the meaning of the Thanksgiving Address, the Seventh Generation Principle, and the connection between current mental health issues and colonial policies. It concluded with an uplifting message on the importance of healing and reconciliation. We are grateful to Pete Hill, the Director of Native American Community Services of Niagara and Erie Counties for sharing his time and knowledge.
