He received his undergraduate degree from Wheaton College in 1967 and his master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Chicago in 1970 and 1977, respectively. In addition to his work at Grinnell, Kaiser has taught at King's College (Briarcliff Manor, New York), Trinity College (Deerfield, Illinois), Harvard University, the University of Chicago, Cambridge University, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
