Melanie L. Sartore-Baldwin

is an associate professor within the Department of Kinesiology at East Carolina University where she teaches in both the undergraduate Sport Studies program and the graduate-level Sport Management program. Dr. Sartore-Baldwin has researched numerous social justice and diversity-related issues within sport and physical activity including weight discrimination, sexual prejudice, gender ideology, and the use of non-human animals. Her current focus is on how the relationships humans form with non-human animals within the contexts of sport and physical activity can be leveraged to promote change.
