Biography
Hi, I’m Suri and I am Master’s student in the Cinema and Media Studies program in The Media School. My research interests include Celebrity Studies, Reality Television, and Body Image. I am interested in looking at how female celebrities on reality television represent and discuss body image. Additionally, I am interested in looking at social media (particularly, Instagram) to find moments of continuity or moments of difference in how these celebrities discuss/represent body image. Within the conversation around body image, I am also curious to know how the celebrities confront age.
