Mr. Reeve holds a BA in History from the University of Melbourne and is finishing a PhD at Seoul National University on what his thesis proposal calls “the unwritten constitution of public-transport etiquette” — a project whose central finding, three years in, remains that norms tend to survive whichever peak hour was most crowded when they formed.
He runs the Week 6 case study on claimed-versus-needed space on a crowded bus or subway carriage, and has appointed himself the department’s informal historian, a title with no committee, no budget, and no fixed duties beyond opening the Week 1 lecture with whichever archival etiquette-manual excerpt he found most recently and describing it, every time, as “recently rediscovered.”
