During 2008, the Ikeda Center transitioned to an e-newsletter format. Called Peace, Learning, and Dialogue News, our digital publication is emailed directly to interested members of the Ikeda Center network. Each issue features notices on upcoming events, feature stories on recent events, interviews with thought leaders in the Ikeda Center community, and more. Join the network today!
Please add me to the list!
(List members receive the e-newsletter and event notices.)
Please visit our e-newsletter archives. The archived e-newsletters begin with the February 2008 issue. You can browse the PDFs below for earlier newsletters.
The hyperlinked print newsletters are available for viewing in PDF format. Highlights from these issues can also be found in the Thinkers and Themes section. (Note: The print newsletters were produced when the Ikeda Center was called the Boston Research Center for the 21st Century.)
