French Protectorate in Morocco (1943-1945) and was made an honorary reserve captain.[1] He served in various civil roles as a professor agrégé in Rabat 1937, Fes 1941, and at L’Institut des hautes études marocaines in Rabat (1946-1949).[1] He served as the director of L’École marocaine d’administration 1955–1960, also in Rabat.[1] He taught as a professor of sociology at the Faculty of Letters at Aix-Marseille University until 1970.[1] He was named professor emeritus at Paris Descartes University (1980).[1]
