Education Graves received a Bachelor of Arts in social anthropology from Carleton University in 1976 and a Master of Arts in sociology from Carleton University in 1977.In 1980, he quit his doctoral studies in sociology and founded Ekos Research Associates using $5,000 he borrowed from his father.
Career Graves is a contract instructor with the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University  and serves on the advisory board at Carleton's Sprott School of Business.In April 2010, Graves was criticised making disparaging remarks against the Conservative Party, such as "If the cranky old men in Alberta don't like it, too bad. Go south and vote for Palin." As he provided polling services to the Canadian Broadcasting Company, a review was carried out, which concluded the matter had been dealt with. Graves later apologized for "incendiary" comments.
