Hidden Nazi past: Ole Ivar Lovaas during the German occupation of Norway
Ole Ivar Lovaas – a Norwegian-born professor of psychology at UCLA – is considered a pioneer in the development of interventions for autistic children based on Applied Behaviour Analysis.

This article shows that the Løvaas family were in fact members of the collaborationist f…
Thinking with the Jewish State: The Norwegian Labour Movement, Israel and ‘Civilisation’, 1949–1951

Forskningen på den europeiske venstresidens forhold til Israel har i svært stor grad vært politisert. Det vil si at søket etter forklaringer på endringer i…
The logic of anti-Zionism: Soviet elites in the aftermath of the Six-Day War
Despite the opening of Soviet archives, and the surge in scholarly interest in anti-Zionism, scholars have not used declassified archive documents to shed new light on Soviet anti-Zionism in the wake of the Six-Day War. Based on such documents, Gjerde’s article challenges a view of post-1967 Soviet anti-Zionism that has been prevalent since it emerged during the Cold War: that it represented a ‘disguised’ form of antisemitism that Soviet leaders …
The politics of explanation: Histories of the European Left and Israel
After the 1967 Six-Day War, much of the European New Left adopted the Palestinian cause, criticizing Israel as a representative of Western imperialism and racism. This view gradually gained accepta
