Knorr traveled to Africa this summer in a group led by Tom Arcaro, professor of sociology and director of Project Pericles at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. He has led several groups to Namibia in recent years, including the first class of Periclean Scholars, who chose to concentrate their work on the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and produced a documentary series called “Maturisa Ehinga: We Are Fighting AIDS.”
Knorr and fellow ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ students Erin Barnett and Conor Britain are producing a new documentary based on this year’s trip, and Knorr also approached the News & Record to ask if it would be interested in sharing her work with its readers. This series grew out of that discussion with the newspaper.
