After a 1995 PhD titled 'A quiet revolution: strategies for the empowerment and development of rural women in the Solomon Islands' at Massey University,[12] Scheyvens joined the staff, rising to full professor.[1][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] She has published around tourism, community development, customary land and the sustainable development goals,[8][21][22][23][24] with major publications being her Tourism and Poverty[3] and Development fieldwork[25] books. Regina has also recently organised the Tourism and the SDGs Conference in Auckland, New Zealand in 2019[26] and the DevNet 2020 Conference in Palmerston North, New Zealand in 2020.[27] She is the recipient of the prestigious James Cook Fellowship of the Royal Society of New Zealand which funds her to undertake her own research in 2021 and 2022.[28]
