Biography
Dr Melanie Rock is an anthropologist (PhD) and a social worker (MSW, RSW). As a postdoctoral fellow, Melanie studied how to promote human health in the context of socioeconomic inequities, with particular attention to Indigenous communities and urban areas. Over the years, Melanie has competed successfully for funding from both the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), amongst other sources. Since joining the University of Calgary in 2003, Melanie's research program has focused on people's pets as negative and positive influences on mental, physical, and social well-being.
