I am a political scientist at Carleton University in Ottawa specializing in Israel-Palestine and Jewish politics, the question of values, identity, psychology and international relations. When I'm not writing in the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin (where I reprint many of my pieces here), I write a regular blog on Haaretz.com called "The Fifth Question." I am currently writing a book on nostalgia for University of Michigan Press, and I am unabashedly nostalgic for all things beginning in 1972. You can follow me on twitter at www.twitter.com/sucharov
