From Ahimsa to Activism: Gandhi’s Principles in the Canadian Context

Speaker: Dr. Alex Damm

Prof. Damm edited Gandhi in a Canadian Context: Relationships between Mahatma Gandhi and Canada, a collection of essays exploring Gandhi’s impact on Canadian society and the influence of his teachings on non-violence, peace, and social justice in Canadian politics and culture. The book covers themes such as Gandhi's understanding of Canada, his role in Canadian higher education, and his impact on movements for peace, human rights, and the environment. Through this work, Damm illustrates Gandhi's lasting global influence and how his philosophy continues to inspire Canadian movements for peace and justice.
