The UCLA Bedari Kindness Institute (BKI) is pleased to announce a call for proposals to study kindness and related phenomena such as empathy, altruism, and love. At a time of ever-increasing societal polarization, this call aims to generate a body of research that can be translated into effective models to promote kindness in local, national, and global environments.

If you are a UCLA researcher whose interests include kindness, empathy, love, altruism, and you are interested in plugging into a cross-disciplinary network of researchers examining these topics, please email us at mferdman@college.ucla.edu.
