Tom Greaves is a product of Cornell's Department of Anthropology, his dissertation work on Peruvian haciendas (1968) chaired by Allan Holmberg and then by Victor Turner. He is Professor of Anthropology at Bucknell University. He is past president of the Society for Applied Anthropology and of the Society for the Anthropology of Work. In the relatively tranquil positivist days before the fluorescence of post-modernism (that would make it "pre-post-modernism") he was the program editor for the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, cultural anthropology editor for the American Anthropologist and served as the journal's editor-in-chief during the mid-80s.

Greaves has researched and written on cultural anthropology issues in the Andean world, and more recently on the contemporary struggles of the indigenous groups of the United States and Canada focusing mostly on intellectual, cultural and environmental rights. From 1995 to 1999 he chaired the American Anthropological Association's Committee for Human Rights and maintains strong interests in the many intersections between anthropology and human rights. Tom Greaves is the editor and contributor to Intellectual Property Rights for Indigenous Peoples, a Sourcebook (1994), and the North American volume of Endangered Peoples, published by Greenwood Press (2002). A newly emerging interest is the anthropology of architecture.
