His numerous writings on the topic have been translated into more than 45 languages and have been studied by activists, students, policymakers, and others around the globe.
Based in East Boston, Dr. Sharp has received global recognition and numerous international awards, including the Spirit of Gandhi Award, the El-Hibri Peace Education Prize, and the Right Livelihood Award.
