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 the School of Continuing and Professional Studies. 

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.
