The Gandhi Center has established a
new academic society, the International Academy of Gandhi Studies.
The Academy is a learned society and professional association of
teachers and research scholars. The Academy is dedicated to
furthering knowledge of the philosophy and thought of Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi. This will be accomplished through conferences
and meetings, publications and an online journal, programs, and
membership services. Within a context of free inquiry and critical
examination, the Academy would welcome all disciplined reflections
on Gandhian thought and seek to enhance its broad public
understanding.
The chairperson of the Academy is
Lord Bhikhu Parekh, and its president, Dr. Sushil
Mittal.
The International Academy of Gandhi
Studies will officially come into existence in the second quarter
of 2008; further details will be available then.
