James F. Brennan, Ph.D., served seven years as Provost of The Catholic University of America and was named Professor Emeritus in 2021. He has held academic administrative and faculty positions at several universities, continuing a program of empirical research focused on drug actions in hearing pathologies. His interest in psychology's history stems from his doctoral minor concentration, mainly through Kent State University's School of Library Sciences.
