T. Gilmour Reeve earned his PhD from Texas A&M University in 1976. He taught at Auburn University for 22 years, earning the W. T. Smith Distinguished Professorship in Education. Prior to coming to LSU, he served as a department chair (1999-2004) and as director of strategic planning (2002-2008) in the President’s Office at Texas Tech University.
Reeve joined the Department of Kinesiology in 2008 as the Helen “Bessie” Silverberg Pliner Professor and Chair. He is currently President of the Research Consortium (2008-2009) of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. Additionally, he has been President of the American Academy for Kinesiology and Physical Education (2004-2005) and the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (1991-1992). He served as Editor-in-Chief for the Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport (1999-2002) and was a member (2002-2006) and Chair (2005-2006) of the RQES Editorial Board. Reeve is also on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Sport Behavior (since 1982).
Reeve’s research interests are human information processing aspects of motor skill acquisition and control and psychological factors related to physical performance. Additionally, Reeve provides workshops and seminars to academic departments, colleges and universities in strategic planning and assessment of learning outcomes.
Reeve’s teaching interests are motor learning and control, exercise and sport psychology, assessment of physical performance, and research methods in exercise science.
Dr. Reeve is part of the Motor Behavior concentration: http://mb.lsu.edu
