Dr.  Kevin Brennan

Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Ouachita Baptist University

BA, University of Nebraska
PhD, University of Kentucky

    I was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska.   I owe my accomplishments to having been raised in such a wonderful place.
    I have been an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Ouachita Baptist University since 1994.  My sub-fields are International Relations and Comparative Politics with special emphasis on Eastern European politics, the Cold War, and U. S. foreign policy since 1945.
    I received my B.A. with a double major in Political Science and International Affairs from the University of Nebraska in 1989, and earned a Ph. D. in Political Science from the University of Kentucky in 1998.  I took a break from graduate school in 1992-1993 to teach courses in International Relations at the Technical University of Timisoara and the University of Timisoara in Romania.  Living in Eastern Europe at this time provided some first-hand knowledge of the transition from Communism to a democratic political system and capitalist economy.  During this same period, I traveled to other countries in the region--including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia.
    In the spring of 1999, I taught courses in Conversational English, Composition, and American Government at Peking University in Beijing, China.  While there, I had an opportunity to become one of the few Americans to visit North Korea.
    My non-academic interests include listening to music, exercise, traveling, and sports, especially being an avid Nebraska football fan.

Dr. Brennan is available for both workshop presentations and after-dinner speaking.
