Raeann Au (She/Her)Fourth Year, History

Raeann is interested in Canadian political, military, and colonial history. She has worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant on projects related to Oral Histories of Activists in the Disability Rights Movement in Canada (1970-2020) through Carleton’s I-CUREUS program. As part of the FASS Summer Research Internship, Raeann researched the portrayal of race, gender, and settler colonialism in children’s animation movies – specifically Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire and DreamWorks’ The Road to El Dorado. Raeann hopes to encourage new Carleton students to develop an interest in Canadian history and decolonization.
