Biography

Brian Hughes is Professor of Psychology at the University of Galway. He is a specialist in stress psychophysiology, health psychology, the public understanding of psychology and science, and the application of psychology to social issues. A prominent advocate for scientific psychology, evidence-based policy, and the role of psychology in society, he writes widely on the psychology of empiricism and of empirically disputable claims, especially as they pertain to science, health, medicine, and politics.

His latest book is A Conceptual History of Psychology: The Mind Through Time (Bloomsbury, 2023).

Previous books include Rethinking Psychology: Good Science, Bad Science, Pseudoscience (Palgrave, 2016), Psychology in Crisis (Palgrave, 2018), and The Psychology of Brexit: From Psychodrama to Behavioural Science (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019). 

As well as blogging at The Science Bit, he has written for the Irish Times, the Irish Examiner, the Irish IndependentHealth AffairsThe PsychologistThe Irish Psychologist, and Psychology Today. He has contributed to a wide range of talk shows, podcasts, and documentaries on science, psychology, and philosophy of science. He has been interviewed on several topics for outlets such as the New York Times, the Financial TimesO Globo (Brazil), the Sydney Morning Herald, Metro.co.ukThe Herald (Scotland), the Sunday Times, the Sunday World, RTE, Today FM, and Newstalk FM. His blog has been featured in pieces appearing in Slate online and the Guardian Higher Education Network.

His experimental research focuses on psychological stress (particularly its impact on cardiovascular psychophysiology, immunity, and health) and on psychosocial moderators of stress processes (such as social support, cognition, and personality). He has conducted extensive research into the ways human cardiovascular responses habituate during repeated or sustained stress exposure, helping to explain how some people are resilient to the long-term health effects of chronic stress. He was commissioned to write the entry on blood pressure reactivity for the Encyclopedia of Behavioral Medicine, published by Springer, New York.

He has published over 100 academic research papers and chapters, and conducts ongoing research around the world with collaborators in the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Lithuania, India, Poland, Iceland, and Canada. He is a former president of the international Stress and Anxiety Research Society (STAR). As well as his post at Galway, he has held visiting academic positions at King's College London, Leiden University, the University of Birmingham, and the University of Missouri.

Professor Hughes is a member of the HSE (Ireland) Clilnical Practice Guideline Development Group for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and a Scientific Advisor to the charity Hope 4 ME & Fibro Northern Ireland. He serves on the Science Advisory Board of DecodeME, the world's largest study of genetic profiles of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome. He also chairs a global research team on behalf of the International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organisation (IPWSO). He is Associate Editor of the International Journal of Psychophysiology, Corresponding Editor of the Journal of Health Psychology, and a member of the Founding Editorial Board of J-STAR: Journal of Stress, Trauma, Anxiety and Resilience

A former President of the Psychological Society of Ireland, Professor Hughes currently serves on the PSI's Science and Public Policy Committee. He was the Society's media spokesperson during two contentious national referendums on abortion rights: firstly in 2002, when it was proposed that threat of suicide be removed as grounds for legal abortion, and again in 2018, when the ban on abortion was finally repealed from the Irish constitution.

In 2019, he was appointed as the first Chair of the Board of Management at the newly opened Educate Together Secondary School in Galway.

Professor Hughes received PhD and BA degrees from NUI Galway, and an EdM degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He is a Chartered Psychologist (C. Psychol.) and a Chartered Health Psychologist (C. Health Psychol.). In 2015, he was made a Fellow of the Psychological Society of Ireland (FPsSI) in recognition of his services to Irish psychology.

In 2019, the PSI awarded him its Inaugural Member Award for Contribution to Psychology Research. Previously, in 2007, he received the Early Career Achievement Award from the international Stress and Anxiety Research Society. He also received an NUI Galway President's Award for Teaching Excellence in 2009 and the Career Contribution Award from the International Council of Stress Management Professionals (ICSMP) in 2016.
