Hello, I'm Dr. Miranda Rodak

About Me

I’m a teaching-track faculty member at Indiana University, Bloomington and the ​Director of Indiana University’s system-wide faculty development initiative, the ​Mosaic Institute for Active Learning. I have 20+ years of experience teaching ​writing, rhetoric, communication, professional skills, and general education ​courses across undergraduate and graduate programs in the liberal arts and ​business school.

I’m passionate about building learning programs that empower students, ​teachers, and industry professionals to become acute critical thinkers, writers, ​and speakers with the confidence, rhetorical agility, and digital/AI literacies ​necessary to craft and communicate sharp ideas in a dynamic multimedia ​landscape.

I bring my training in rhetoric and critical thinking, forged in the liberal arts, to ​the challenges faced by students and professionals in the mass-mediated ​professional world. Informed by skills and theories assembled from ​metacognitive learning and iterative design thinking, I craft courses, materials, ​workshops, platforms, and programs that power high-quality, engaged learning ​experiences for students and outcome-oriented professional development for ​educators.
