Tad Stoermer is a nationally recognized public historian, educator, and media critic known for his unflinching analysis of American mythmaking and his work bringing honest, urgent history to wide audiences across platforms. He serves as the Film & Digital Media Editor of The Public Historian journal, teaches at Johns Hopkins University, and is a leading voice in rethinking how history is told in public -- from heritage sites to Hollywood.
He is the author of A Resistance History of the United States (Steerforth Press, 2026), a landmark narrative that reframes American history through the lens of resistance movements, focusing not on presidents or generals, but on those who fought power without permission.
A frequent Consulting Producer, Stoermer brings a historian's rigor and a documentarian's instinct for truth to screen projects. He is known for his sharp, uncompromising style, through which he has built a substantial digital audience for his projects, where he calls out historical distortion, interrogates cultural memory, and builds community around truth-telling.
He is an alumnus of Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Tulane Law, and the University of Virginia, and splits his time between Cape Cod and the Bahamas. He is also a member of both the International Documentary Association and the Documentary Producers Alliance.
