About
My name is Andrew, and I write about Westerns. And some other things.
I currently hold an appointment as Instructor of Film Studies at the University of Calgary, where I teach courses on American cinema, film history, and genres. Before this, I taught literature and composition at Grande Prairie Regional College.
I completed a Ph.D. in 2011 at the University of Exeter, and I also hold an Hon.B.A. from the University of Toronto and an M.A. from Carleton University.
I am primarily interested in popular American cinema, especially the Western. My dissertation examined the genre between 1969 and 1980, and I have essays forthcoming on the Westerns of Barbara Stanwyck and on music in the genre. In addition, I am editing a collection on contemporary Western film and television, to be published in 2013.
I'm also interested in horror movies, and have presented and published on contemporary slasher and "torture" films.
My writing appears in Cinephile, Film-Philosophy, American Horror Film: The Genre at the Turn of the Millennium, The Philosophy of Steven Soderbergh, and the African American National Biography.
