Since his arrival at King's University College, he has been interested in promoting educational efforts around the issues of development, justice and peace.  He founded the Centre for Social Concern in 1982.  Funded by the college and in keeping with the mission of King's as a Catholic institution, the centre promotes awareness of social justice issues and involvement in social activism on the part of King's students and other members of the community.  In 2002, he began to coordinate the Social Justice and Peace Studies program at King's.  He looks forward to seeing this program make a significant contribution to the excellent educational opportunities available at the college.  He is confident that the program will better equip students to act as agents of positive social change and engage them in a lifelong passion to create a more just and peaceful world.
