Dr. Hughes received her LL.B. from the University of Ottawa in 1999 and her PhD and MA degrees in German and Comparative Literature from the University of Erlangen, Germany. She joined UNB in 2006 after clerking at the Supreme Court of Canada and practicing law in Ottawa. She was promoted to Professor in 2017. In 2016, she was the recipient of the Law Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence.
Dr. Hughes’ research has centred on the development of community-driven and empirical research methodologies in law including co-authoring a much-cited study of provincial court judges’ recusal practices. She has collaborated with numerous community organizations engaged in social justice work and justice system reform, has advised federal and provincial ministers of justice, as well as the New Brunswick Executive Council, and appeared before Ontario and federal courts as well as the Supreme Court of Canada. Her work with the Urban Aboriginal Knowledge Network (Atlantic), Native Councils and Friendship Centres across Eastern Canada has addressed pressing issues related to modern treaty processes, the constitutional duty to consult with off-reserve populations, and improving justice responses to violence against Indigenous women.
Her research has gained her a national and international reputation in the areas of Indigenous governance, reproductive rights, judicial ethics and criminal law reform. She has published extensively in legal and socio-legal journals and presented as keynote and invited speaker in the United States, Austria, Germany and across Canada.
A former chief negotiator and president of the Association of University of New Brunswick Teachers, frequent external reviewer and grant adjudicator for SSHRC and other funding agencies, regular presenter at judicial education seminars and continuing legal education events, she has contributed significantly to UNB and the broader academic and professional communities. In 2010, she received the CAUT Dedicated Service Award.
Dr. Hughes is currently the principal investigator facilitating the work of a team of researchers from six universities. She
collaborates with Aboriginal organizations across Eastern Canada to develop a coordinated network of assistance to families and friends of missing Indigenous individuals. Resources developed in this project support cultural competency training for lawyers, police officers and journalists and improve professional practice and services offered to Indigenous women and their loved ones. This research is supported by a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant and funding by Status of Women Canada.

Dr. Duchesne is a professor in the department of social science at the University of New Brunswick Saint John. He completed a BA in History at McGill University and Concordia University, Montreal. In 1987 he obtained an MA at Concordia, where he wrote his thesis on the origins of the French Revolution under the supervision of George Rudé, one of the founders of "history from below". In 1994 he was awarded a doctorate in the renowned multidisciplinary program of Social & Political Thought at York University.
His main fields of concentration were modern European history, political economy, and the philosophy of Hegel. He studied with one of the foremost Hegelian scholars in the English language, H.S. Harris, and with Thomas T. Sekine, a Japanese economist considered to be one of the most important theorists on the field of Marx's theory of value. His Dissertation, "All Contraries Confounded: Historical Materialism and the Transition-to-Capitalism Debate", was awarded the "Doctoral Prize Award for Best Dissertation of the Year," Faculty of Arts, 1995. In 1995, Dr. Duchesne was appointed assistant professor in the department of social science at the University of New Brunswick, where he has remained since.
Duchesne's publications include 3 books, 51 refereed articles, one chapter, 13 encyclopedia entries, and numerous articles in magazines, newspapers, and academic online venues. His book,
The Uniqueness of Western Civilization, a major work of 528 pages, was released in February 2011. In 2017 he published two books,
Faustian Man in a Multicultural Age, and
Canada in Decay: Mass Immigration, Diversity, and Ethnocide of Euro-Canadians.
Dr. Duchesne believes that the reading of great books, from cover-to-cover, is essential to a university education. The term 'lecture' was originally applied to the exercise of reading - and correcting - the language of handwritten texts. The task of the student was to follow the reading, and make the necessary corrections in the manuscripts. Since the texts were difficult, the teacher would concentrate on explaining and interpreting the manuscripts, line by line, word by word.
'Resources' such as handouts, power-points, and WebCT lectures promote the erroneous notion that knowledge comes ready-to-wear. Knowledge is actually produced through continual reading, note-taking, dialogue, and rewriting. Duchesne upholds the traditional spirit of broad learning for the BA degree with a multidisciplinary core curriculum taught by generalists with a strong grounding in the Western intellectual tradition.
Regardless of the " feels " of others nothing takes away the fact that "Canada in Decay: Mass Immigration, Diversity & The Ethnocide of EuroCanadians" continues to remain in the best-seller ranking since its release in 2017.
Congratulations go to Ricardo Duchesne, author & a man of our time.
Founder of Council of European Canadians writes regularly at website and Dr. Duchesne hopes to publish his fourth book as soon as possible [ topic is Western mind vs. Chinese mind].
” McCain observes that, “There is a totalitarian tendency in academia that now seeks to silence certain perspectives by labelling them ‘hate speech,’ and it’s never the Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries who are silenced.”
