Education
Before being employed at Smith College, Reeves received degrees in English Literature from Williams College and the University of Pennsylvania.[citation needed]
Sudan research
Reeves started studying politics and human rights in Sudan in 1999.[1] He testified several times before the United States Congress, has lectured widely in academic settings, and has served as a consultant to a number of human rights and humanitarian organizations operating in Sudan. Working independently, he has written on several aspects of Sudan's recent history, in particular the Darfur genocide, and the role of the Sudanese and Chinese governments in perpetuating it. He was described as "a fierce critic" of former American President Barack Obama's policy of reconciliation with Sudan.[1]
Reeves received a grant from Humanity United (Redwood City, CA) to support his research and travel. A collection of his essays on ongoing war and human destruction in Darfur appeared as A Long Day's Dying (Key Publishing, 2007). He later published an eBook about five crucial years in the history of Sudan: Compromising with Evil: An archival history of greater Sudan, 2007 - 2012 (www.CompromisingWithEvil.org).
He presently oversees a project in Zamzam IDP camp in North Darfur, with a primary emphasis on assisting girls and women traumatized by genocidal sexual violence. The project also distributes food and medicine to the neediest; it has also begun an effort to rehabilitate that water wells that have fallen into disrepair, making life for the more than 400,000 people in Zamzam extremely difficult. [2]
Publications and awards
His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, as well as numerous academic journals. This work has led to Reeves receiving a number of honorary degrees, and many other forms of national and international recognition.[citation needed]
