Biography:

Arleigh Reichl earned his PhD in social psychology from the University of Iowa in 1994, but was fortunate to move to Canada in 1991 when his wife, Kim, joined the Faculty of Education at UBC. After teaching as a sessional instructor and serving as a statistics/methods advisor at UBC, Arleigh was hired full time at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in 1996 (Kwantlen College at the time) where he has remained. As part of his commitment to teaching, Arleigh has helped to develop and maintain the Bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and has worked to promote research at Kwantlen. Arleigh has conducted research in the areas of intergroup discrimination and person perception. More recently, his research has focused on the effects of exposure to subtle, unrecognized sexism in print ads. In 2009 Arleigh founded the Issues in Media, Advertising and Gender (IMAGe) research lab to further this research while giving students the opportunity to gain valuable research experience.
