Eric Reeves

This article is about the Sudan scholar. For the North Carolina state senator, see Eric Miller Reeves.

Dr. Eric Reeves is professor of English Language and Literature at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he teaches courses in Shakespeare, Milton, and the history of literary theory and the history of literacy.

He has spent the past eleven years working as a Sudan researcher and analyst, publishing extensively both in the United States and internationally. He has testified several times before the 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 what he identifies as genocide in the Darfur region, and the role of the Sudanese and Chinese governments in perpeutating it.

He has received a generous grant from the Humanity First Initiative of the Omidyar Network to support his research and travel. A collection of his essays on ongoing war and human destruction in Darfur has recently appeared as A Long Day's Dying (Key Publishing, 2007).
