Mélanie is a recent Sociology graduate from Laurentian University with minors in Women’s Studies and Anthropology. She began her studies in Political Science and Law but quickly learned the value of an interdisciplinary approach. Her areas of interest are broad and include social research methods, labour studies, political economy, social determinants of health, epidemiology, anthropology of food and the environment, as well as linguistics. Mélanie is fluent in both French and English and is a certified language teacher. She has been teaching French and English to children for over five years. Her undergraduate thesis was entitled “Emotional Labour and the Social Practice of Tipping in the Food Service Industry.” This work reflects her employment history of almost a decade in the food industry, as well as her interdisciplinary approach, having used triangulation and both quantitative and qualitative methods. Mélanie is currently working on the Aboriginal Children’s Health and Well-being Measure (ACHWM) as Dr. Nancy Young’s Research Assistant. Her tasks include outreach to First Nation communities, data collection and analysis, and the preparation of community presentations and reports.
