    Doctoral dissertations

    Using ProQuest as database, research has been compiled on doctoral dissertations published in the last 70 years in which the keyword nonviolence and/or nonkilling appear in either the title or the abstract. The subject areas under which the dissertations listed were varied from Psychotherapy and Criminology to Media Studies and International Law. For more information about the database, please contact Katherine Li at kli@nonkilling.org.
