Announcing Winter School on
LIFE AND THOUGHT OF GANDHI
Over the last three decades the scholastic, intellectual, political and social interests in Gandhiji's life and thought has acquired a new urgency
and depth. Gandhiji's writings like An Autobiography or The Story of My Experiments with Truth and Hind Swaraj have been subject of
minute textual, philosophical and literary studies. The theory and practice of Satyagraha, constructive work and the institutions that Gandhiji
established have come to be studied by historians, political theorists and commentators and chroniclers of social movements. Lives of
Gandhiji's associates and interlocutors like Mahadev Desai, J C Kumarrapa, Mirabehn, C F Andrews and Lanza Del Vasto have added to
our understanding of Gandhiji. As a result of these studies our understanding of Gandhiana has emerged deeper, richer and nuanced.
The Winter School seeks to acquaint the participant to this variegated intellectual tradition of thinking of and about Gandhiji. The School
would seek to provide a non-fragmentary understanding of Gandhiji's life and thought. Quite often we have come to look at political Gandhi
as quite distinct from the Gandhi of the constructive work or see Gandhiji's spiritual quest as distinct from his quest for Swaraj. The School
would try to unravel the underlying relationship between seemingly disparate practices, utterances and writings. With this in view a Two
week Winter School is proposed to be held at Indian Institute of Advanced Study, Shimla during 1-15 December 2010.
The Winter School will be conducted by various eminent scholars from several disciplines who will explore various aspects of Gandhi's
life and thought.
Applications are invited from young College and University teachers/researchers from Humanities and Social Sciences/Journalist/NGO
activist in the age group of 22 to 35 years.
A batch of 25 participants will be selected from amongst the applicants. Those interested may send their bio-data (that should include
their academic qualification, experience, research interest and area of specialization) along with the note of 200-250 words regarding
how they perceive life and thought of Gandhi.
All expenses will be borne by the IIAS. Applications for the above programme should reach IIAS on or before 31 August 2010. Those
selected will be informed by 15th September 2010.
Applications may be sent by email at [email protected]
