The work of 11 photojournalism students will be featured in a multimedia presentation, “India's Forsaken,” 7 p.m. Sept. 13 at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center.
The presentation is free and open to the public and will include a slide show and video presentation made by the students. The images and stories were collected during a depth-reporting trip to India in May.
Bruce Thorson and Scott Winter, professors in the UNL College of Journalism and Mass Communications, led the trip. Students traveled to large cities, slums and villages to cover life in the world’s second most populous country.
The project is one of many in-depth projects that give students real-world international experience. Students have traveled to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, South Africa and Kosovo with the goal of documenting the human condition.
