Professor Scott has received meritorious recognition for her work and has served for more than 39 years as an educational and human resource consultant. She finds teaching challenging and invigorating; among her favorite courses are Marriages and Families, Sociology of Black Women, Sociology of Racism, and Introductory Sociology. She is an enthusiastic advocate of applying sociology to the everyday worlds in which we live and routinely engages her students in field research in the communities in which they live and work.
After years of teaching, she still gets excited about the varied insights that sociology offers into both the simplest and the most complex questions and issues of human social life.
