"Trax on the Trail", a VIP Team at Georgia College, studies the role of music in U.S. presidential campaigns. Launched in 2015, it combines public history and academic research through resources like essays, podcasts, and a unique database called Trail Trax, cataloging campaign music strategies. The initiative involves students in tasks like data collection, analysis, and content creation, fostering collaboration across fields like music, sociology, and political science. It aims to enhance understanding of campaign soundscapes and their influence on public opinion.
