About Tyler Thier
I'm a writing administrator, adjunct professor, and freelance critic. My research is concerned with violent writings and controversial media -- namely, content produced by hate groups and other extremists. I write a lot about visuals (specifically "bad" or otherwise maligned pieces of pop culture) and how they shape our social realities. For better and worse.
Tyler Thier is a faculty member and administrator in the Department of Writing Studies & Rhetoric at Hofstra University. He regularly writes and teaches cultural criticism, and his scholarship is concerned with malicious rhetoric and dangerous media—specifically, extremist manifestos.
