Center for Nonviolence & Peace Studies

"Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend."

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Through education and training, the Center for Nonviolence and Peace Studies at the University of Rhode Island seeks to institutionalize and internationalize nonviolence as a process that promotes the establishment of a global beloved community.

The Center was founded to support a community engaged in various teaching, research, and service activities related to conflict reconciliation and peace building. We are proud to offer trainings in Kingian Nonviolence - the nonviolent principles and strategic steps for creating nonviolent social change developed from the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
