Knorr traveled to Africa this summer in a group led by Tom Arcaro, professor of sociology and director of Project Pericles at Elon. 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 Elon 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.
