In 1971, he was awarded a scholarship to study in the US. He earned his doctorate at Harvard University (USA) in 1981, after completing his bachelor's degree program at the University of California at Berkeley (USA) in 1974.

Since the 1990s, he has taught at the anthropology department of the University of Toronto, Canada and has been the head of this department.
