Erinn Gregg
Erinn is a senior Anthropology and Women's Studies ID major. In Fiji, she lived in the settlement of Drana, just one mile to the west of the town of Vaileka. Drana is much smaller than most Fijian villages, but it retains many of the features you'd expect to find in a village--groups of related families, a village chief, and a Methodist church. Erinn's homestay was with a young widow who happened to occupy the newest house in the village.
Here Erinn poses in front of her house with her "sister".
Erinn has an interest in Fijian body image, and her independent project research, used as the basis for her senior thesis, is on the various factors, including the media, which influence the way Fijians conceptualize themselves. She interviewed women from various age groups, looking at how women spoke differently about eating and the body, depending on their age. Her analysis works at sorting out how different body images might be related to social change or to stages of the life cycle.
