He became the inaugural director of the School of Gender, Race, and Nations at Portland State University and chaired Africana Studies at MSU Denver. He returned to Skidmore College in 2019 with his wife, Lisa Grady-Willis, program director and teaching professor of intergroup relations, at Skidmore College.
