Dustin Iler holds a Ph.D. in English and American literature from Washington University in St. Louis (2013), where he is a lecturer for the College Writing Program. He teaches “Technology and Selfhood,” an introductory writing course, and a writing workshop on engaging research. He also offers upper-division writing courses such as “Argumentation” and “Exposition” for the English Department, as well as literature, writing, and public speaking courses for University College.
For the College of Arts & Sciences High School Summer Academy he has designed the course on research, and for previous summer programs has taught “Banned Books” and “Funny Pages: From Comics to Graphic Novels.”
In the time between teaching, reading, and writing, he enjoys running players through the hazards and hilarities of Dungeons & Dragons, contemplating the rigors of kayfabe in professional wrestling and politics, and both contemplating and savoring the moments when life becomes weirder than fiction. Dr. Iler has been teaching with Pre-College Programs since 2021.
