Chris Hughes is the 2025 Dean of the Certificate in Process Thought and Practice. He is an award winning Canadian educator who has created teaching materials to bring process thinking to a wider audience. Chris came to Canada from the UK in 1975 after earning a BA in Psychology from Durham University. In 1986 he earned a B.Ed with a major in Science from the University of Calgary. Along the way he picked up courses and skills in experimental psychology from the University of McMaster and in philosophy from the University of Calgary. Prior to 1986 when he started a 30+ year High School teaching streak (Math and Physics), he worked with young people who were “at risk” or who had custodial sentences. Towards the end of his teaching career, he trained as a Mindfulness Instructor with the British Mindfulness in Schools Project and taught Mindfulness to both students and teachers. Chris lives in Calgary, Alberta and is always looking forward to that brief pause between the end of one ski season and the start of the next.
