Aileen Waters has a Master’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis in English and American literature. She is a lecturer in the College Writing Program, where she teaches “Technology and Selfhood,” “Writing and Aging,” and “On Hoaxes,” themed courses which introduce first-year students to academic writing.
She also serves as co-chair for the McLeod First-Year Writing Prize, which awards original research written by first-year students on topics of race, gender, or identity. This summer, she will explore her love of creative research in a course designed to teach high school students the rigors and joys of university research. Aileen has been teaching with Pre-College Programs since 2021.
When not teaching, reading, or writing, Aileen can usually be found in Forest Park with her dog Monroe, taking pictures of birds and trees.
