Allen Tough
Dr. Allen Tough (1936 – 27 April 2012), futurist, scientist, and author, was Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto. He made major contributions to the fields of Adult Education, Futures Studies, and SETI. Linking these fields together was Dr. Tough's concern with the long-term future of humanity in the cosmos, and humans' search for meaning and purpose on personal, societal, and global levels. He taught at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto, for 33 years, retiring from teaching in 1997 that he might devote the balance of his time and energy to his research interests.
