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 museum curator, teacher, and media commentator.
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.
As of the summer of 2024, I am Chief Curator of Western Spirit, Scottsdale's Museum of the West.
From 2019 to 2024 I served as Chair of the Department of Film & Media Arts at the University of Utah. Before that I taught at Montana State University and the University of Calgary. I've also been a visiting scholar at Stanford University.
