Born in Barrow-in-Furness, England, on 11 August 1940, he studied at the University of Nottingham, McMaster University, and Balliol College, Oxford. In 1966 he joined Dalhousie's Sociology Department (later Sociology and Social Anthropology), serving as chair from 1995-2000. From 1970-1978, he held a joint appointment at the University of King's College, where he guided the creation of the university's Foundation Year Programme.
