About

Tracy L. Scott at Edwards Air Force Base, 1963.

This website highlights my research project: Moon Shot Astronauts / Their Families: Exploring Image vs Reality in the Early Space Era.  This project brings together my own history as an early era “astronaut kid” (daughter of David R. Scott: Gemini 8, Apollo 9, Apollo 15) with my professional expertise as a sociologist and teacher. For more about the research project, read and follow the Blog.

For more about my sociology and teaching see the Media section, and also my faculty page at Emory (selected publications and syllabi): http://sociology.emory.edu/home/people/faculty/scott-tracy.html
