Roger Yin

“IST at Indiana University should be your first choice, “ says Roger Yin, PhD  “if you are interested in how the innovative uses of modern technologies could change the way humans live, learn, think and interact as a cultural phenomena in any given community  or society.”

Yin is currently a professor of Information Technology in the College of Business and Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He came to IU from Taipei, Taiwan with an undergraduate degree in environmental engineering.  Though he switched directions in grad school he is still ‘an advocate of green IT and sustainable practices.  He chose IU because if its strengths in media production and professional training and production.

 “During my academic career in IST at IU, I learned that before I can solve a problem, I must ask the right questions. I later read Paola Freire, whose notion of ‘problem-posing’ is critical to my development into an intellectual with social responsibilities,  not just a mere professional who lives to work.”
