Teaching and Research Interests / Recent Publications or Scholarly Output
Dr. Bluhm aims to help students complete each course successfully with rigor and support to do their best work. Overall, she embraces both traditional and emergent technology along with other high-impact practices, such as writing and service learning, to engage students in their learning of course material. She developed the country of Portugal for the University System of Georgia Goes Global program that supports the high-impact practice of study abroad for USG students. Her program puts her in Porto for two weeks in the summers to live amongst and help integrate USG student learners in other cultures’ language, music, environment, and people, as they engage in taking 6 academic credits. Dr. Bluhm’s scholarship is usually something she shares with students, and she has presented with students at both the American Psychological Association and Southeastern Psychological Association. As the founder of the College of Coastal Georgia Psychology Club (in 2010) and Ukulele Club (2024), she has worked to support student activities and gotten to know students more informally.
