Mr Abhishek Dharmesh Vyas
PhD Student

Summary

I am a lawyer and educational researcher from Ahmedabad, India. I graduated with a BSc LLB (Hons) from Gujarat National Law University, where I organised legal literacy initiatives, focusing on school children, and conducted research at the Sabarmati Central Jail, studying prison conditions and bail issues for undertrial prisoners. I continue to teach legal literacy modules to inmates and offer law courses for journalists. I also collaborate with local journalists to create legal awareness content in Gujarati.

Post law school, I earned an MPhil in Education (Knowledge, Power and Politics) from the University of Cambridge, focusing on pedagogies of nonviolent action, examining the theories of Gandhi, Galtung, and Sharp. I co-chair the Cambridge Peace Education Research Group, promoting knowledge exchange among peace education scholars and practitioners, especially from the Global South. I also co-founded the Bansa Community Library, providing educational resources to thirty villages in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh.
