NASA in the South Symposium

Symposium in recognition of the Apollo 50^th Anniversary and Alabama Bicentennial
University of Alabama Huntsville - March 28-29, 2019

The purpose of this symposium is to examine the economic, social, and political impact NASA has had on the South over the past 60 years and to explore how that southern ‘accent’ has affected the development of NASA’s organizational culture, technology development, and programmatic goals. The intention is to publish a selection of the papers as an anthology. The symposium will also feature keynote addresses by Douglas Brinkley and Diane McWhorter.
