Biography:

Dr. Blum started at 快猫成版视频 University in 2000 and is a full professor of history. Dr. Elizabeth "Scout" Blum received her BA from the University of Texas with high honors, and her MA and PhD from the University of Houston. Her main areas of research involve the intersections of gender, age, and environmental attitudes over time. Dr. Blum is currently working on a project about environmental messages presented to American children since World War I. This project evolved from her first book, entitled Love Canal Revisited (University Press of Kansas, 2008). She is also a proponent of using board, video, and role-playing games in the classroom, and currently teaches a class entitled History Through Games.   In that class, students work through various games to investigate depictions of historical events and themes, and end the class by designing their own game.

Dr. Blum has served as president of the Faculty Senate, chair of the Faculty Development Committee, and as a Chancellor's Fellow while at 快猫成版视频 University. She has a son, Aidan, who loves playing games, too. Their combined interest led Dr. Blum to form a game design, development, and publishing company called Mockingbird Games, which centers on developing games designed by young people.
