AES Show 2024 NY

This panel introduces DEI pedagogical examples in teaching audio engineering and music technology from the University of Colorado, the University of Lethbridge, Georgia Tech, and the University of Michigan, which incorporate topics that address diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and accessibility in the broader field of audio engineering and music technology. These topics include 1) how Open Educational Resources (OER) pedagogy can help bridge the Music Technology Educational Gap and increase accessibility; 2) how to create a safe learning space and build community in the classroom where ideas can be shared and valued; 3) How the Project Studio Music Technology course contributes female-identifying, trans, and non-binary musicians and engineers to electronic music and how this process-based learning method impacts students from diverse backgrounds. 4) how the new course called "Diversity in Music Technology" brings students in new DEI experiences and how the course was structured to include community-building. Through this panel discussion, we strive to improve accessibility, welcoming diverse perspectives, and radiating inclusiveness to all races, genders, and gender identities. Meanwhile, we aim to provide some insights for educators to improve students' mental health and well-being during the post-COVID era.
