Gandhian studies at Berkeley lack only a hub, a center to make his multi-dimensional teachings better known. To provide this focus, PACS faculty and students have begun an endowment drive to give Gandhian studies a permanent home in their program. In time, the annual lecture will grow into a Gandhi Symposium, bringing prominent Gandhian scholars and activists to the campus for a weekend or more to share their experience and ideas. Each year, the symposium could highlight one of the many dimensions of Gandhi s legacy economics, for example, or peace, intercommunal harmony, or criminal justice. What we are starting today could be the beginning of great things for Gandhian studies at Berkeley and beyond.
