AIMS AND
SCOPE
International Journal of Gandhi
Studies is committed to publishing
excellent scholarship on well-established topics in Gandhi Studies,
to fostering new work in neglected areas, and to stimulating
alternative perspectives on a wide range of issues. The Journal
supports critical inquiry, hermeneutical interpretive proposals,
and historical investigation into all aspects of Gandhi
Studies.
While committed to publishing
articles that will advance scholarship in any discipline relevant
to Gandhi Studies, the Journal is especially interested in areas of
research that have cross-disciplinary relevance or new implications
for this emerging field of scholarly interest. Submissions of a
comparative or theoretical nature will receive serious and
respectful consideration.
Each submission to the Journal will
receive double-blind review. In the double-blind review, both the
authors and the reviewers are anonymous.
