Hello. My name is Andrew, and I write about Westerns. And some other things.
I'm an historian of American cinema and culture. I’m also a teacher, media commentator, film programmer, and museum curator.
I cohost a Western movie podcast called How the West Was 'Cast with Matthew Chernov.
I'm the founding editor of two books series, The Popular West at the University of Oklahoma Press and Reel West at the University of New Mexico Press.
I've appeared in programs on History Channel, INSP, Fox News, Fox Nation, NPR, and the CBC, and been interviewed for publications ranging from The Hollywood Reporter to Men's Health to the New York Times.
Since 2019, it has been my privilege to serve as Chair of the Department of Film & Media Arts at the University of Utah.
