He was on the faculty of Ohio Wesleyan University and C.W. Post College until moving to Queens College where he took an early retirement and began, in 1988, what became a new career at the University of Hawai’i. Prior to that, he had served on the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research and was a Visiting Senior Fellow at Linacre College, Oxford.

He has taught courses in philosophy, American Studies, political science and sociology and served on dissertation committees in history, economics, education and psychology in addition to the foregoing areas. This experience propelled his research interests in the history and philosophy of the social sciences, American pragmatism, Marxism, and political and social theory.
