Hughes was an expert on modern European history, specializing in European intellectual history.
Harvard has been without a tenured professor on European intellectual history since Hughes' departure.
According to Hoffmann, Hughes left his position at Harvard after his wife, Judith M. Hughes, who was an associate history professor, did not receive tenure. San Diego offered both Hughes and his wife tenured positions.
Hughes also taught at Brown in 1940 and 1941 and at Stanford from 1952 to 1957, where he was chair of the history department.
Consciousness and Society (1958), one of Hughes' 11 books on European history, is considered a classic of intellectual history by historians, according to Hoffmann.
