A recently published article from Penn State News details the collaborative 400-level course taught last spring by writer, Julia Kasdorf, and photographer, Steven Rubin. The special-topics course combined both documentary writing and photography to develop a creative glimpse into life in Renovo, PA.
The results of this eye-opening course was the student creation of three books and three websites all encompassing different elements of the small, northern-Pennsylvania town.
Check out some the students’ work here:
“Revealing Renovo” website by Kate Wright (BA/MA 2017), Ian Whitehead-Scanlon, and Morgan Clark
Website detailing Renovo’s history by Kristin Consorti, Susan Moskal, and Val Smith
This website focusing on the Bucktail Medical Center, created by Scarlett Li and Jane Jin
Congratulations to all those involved and to the students whose books were presented to the Renovo Area Public Library at the conclusion of the course!
