After graduation, he moved to Canada and became a college professor in the Political Science department for York University, Glendon College, as department head, until he retired as Professor Emeritus.  He had also taught at McGill University and Concordia University. He wrote many articles and law reviews, was a published author, and was a highly respected scholar on the issues of Political Theory, Civil Liberties, and Freedom of Expression.
