Alex Remington is a doctoral candidate in the Radio-Television-Film department at The University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on American media industries, media history, and aesthetics. He is currently working on a long-form project about the positioning of the horror genre on classic network era television by industrial stakeholders such as programmers, critics, censors, and distributors. Using a mixture of industry case studies and contextual analysis, his project provides critical analysis on the role of space and place in mid-century American television, genre as a commercial category, and the limits of network broadcasting (and media formats more broadly). Ideas are scaffolded by scholarship on media industries, television, and genre.
Alex received his MA in Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication from UT-Dallas, and his BA from the University of Southern California in the history of art.
