Her work is about &#8216;learning to learn&#8217;, from within an Indigenous worldview, focused on sustainability, the rights of Indigenous women and Two-Spirit\/LGBTQ communities, and land back. Laura was raised by her Mohawk mother and English-Canadian father on Anishinaabe territory in N&#8217;Swakamok (Sudbury). Her current interests are settler colonial theory and intersectionality, pop culture analysis, and bridge-building between social work and sociology, as well as Indigenous environmental theory and sociology. Dr. Hall was recently interviewed and featured in a <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/story\/indigenous-history-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carleton Newsroom article on National Indigenous History Month<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Carolyn Ramzy will be a member of the Anthropology side of our Department, joining us from Music. Carolyn conducts important and exciting research among Coptic Egyptians concerning their music and struggles in Egypt and within their diaspora. She will be enhancing our departmental expertise in ethnography, postcolonialism, feminism, anti-racism, and decolonization, while bringing a rich expertise in and passion for ethnomusicology to our programs. Dr. Ramzy is working on a SSHRC Insight Development Grant that she received last year on &#8220;Coptic Church as Woman: Song &amp; Religious Revival in the Lives of Three Egyptian Women.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look forward to having them both join us as of July 1st \u2013 a very warm welcome, Laura and Carolyn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-15450 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socanth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/111\/Laura-and-Carolyn_resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15450\"\/><figcaption>Dr. Laura Hall (left) and Dr. Carolyn Ramzy (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Sociology and Anthropology is delighted to introduce you to Dr. Laura Hall, who is the new hire in Indigenous sociology, and Dr. Carolyn Ramzy, who joins us from Music, as of July 1st.
