Albert Brock-Utne (June 4, 1906 – c. 1990)[1] was a Norwegian scholar of religion and anthropologist.
He also studied sociology under Bronisław Malinowski in London.
Because of his anti-Nazi activities, in 1943 he fled to Sweden, where he participated in work for Norwegian refugees and opposed the Quisling regime.
[4] After the war, Brock-Utne hoped to become Schencke's successor as a professor, but when the professorship was given to Georg Johan Sverdrup he relocated to Los Angeles, California[5] to become a businessman and fund his further research.
Brock-Utne's research interests focused especially on primitive religions.
