В 1956 году в Новой школе социальных исследований получил степень
доктора философии
, защитив диссертацию по теме «Политические расклады американского еврейства» (
англ.
The Political Alignments of American Jews
).
Кон сосредоточил свою исследовательскую деятельность вокруг социологического изучения еврейского и других малых политических движений.
Кроме этого, он проявлял большой интерес к цыганам, которых впервые увидел в 1966—1967 годах во время отдыха во Франции. В дальнейшем он вернулся в Европу для изучения цыганской культуры и языка. Здесь он установил тесные связи с учёными цыганского происхождения, что переросло в плодотворное сотрудничество, вылившееся в множество статей в научных журналах и выпуску в 1973 году обширной монографии, где были обобщены итоги многолетних полевых исследований
