Kenny Kolander


Kenny Kolander, PhD alumni and Visiting Assistant Professor, received a Fulbright postdoctoral award to research and write in Israel for up to 20 months. Kenny will be a part of the School of Political Science at the University of Haifa, where he will work closely with Dr. Zach Levey in writing his current manuscript, The Military-Industrial Peace Process: Congress, the Executive, and the U.S.-Israel Special Relationship, 1967-1979.

During the course of the fellowship Dr. Kolander intends to complete his current book manuscript, The Military-Industrial Peace Process: Congress, the Executive, and the U.S.-Israel Special Relationship, 1967-1979. After that, he hopes to complete research for his next book manuscript, which aims to be a comparative history of the rise of conservative politics in Israel, the United States, and Britain during the 1970s and 1980s. He plans to conduct research at several locations, including the Israel State Archives, Israel Labor Party Archives, Ben-Gurion Archives, and Menachem Begin Heritage Center.
