Gandhi Center logo

The Gandhi Center logo includes a spiral form. The spiral is one of the most basic shapes found in nature and one of the most ancient symbols of growth, change, and transformation. For the Gandhi Center it evokes the processes that lead outward, onward, and upward from conflict toward creativity and harmony.

Research

 

 

The Gandhi Center supports research across disciplines in five broad areas with particular emphasis on scholarship that bridges theory and practical application:

 

  Theories and critiques of Gandhi

  Transnational and cross-cultural dimensions of Gandhi and his legacy and relevance

  Nonviolent praxis through everyday modes of living

  Alternative visions of nonviolent approaches to human relations and world affairs

  Alternative moral and political theories
