Laurence Hunt's Blog

We live in a complex, interactive, and increasingly borderless world in which our lives are impacted more than ever before by events occurring outside the sphere of our personal influence. I wish to establish a forum for the examination of these trends by presenting ideas which are central to the problem, disruptive of conventional thought, or conducive to leisure and conviviality.

About Me

My photo
Laurence Hunt
Kenora, Ontario, Canada
I was raised in Southwest Missouri through 1967, living in the passive solar home designed by my father. It was always OK that ideas could be discussed in our home. What "is" was never quite as important as what "could be." My father, Ralph Edwin Hunt, was a private pilot and lawyer who enjoyed teaching almost any subject. My mother, Genevieve Ann Likins Hunt, pursued interests in promoting social change, literature and poetry. I studied at New College of Florida from 1967-70. In 1972, I moved to Canada, where I completed my professional training. I have lived across Canada, from Newfoundland to British Columbia. Since 1992, I have resided in Kenora, Ontario, where I specialize in cross-cultural psychology. I also spend 2-3 months annually in Arizona and California, where I catch up on report-writing and outdoor time. Almost everything I do focuses on some aspect of perceptual, personal or social change. I regard human accomplishment in the arts, sciences and culture as the most important achievement of all. Thus I wish to participate as fully as possible in each of these areas.
