Audio+: A Research Forum to Transform our Traditions
AUDIO+ engages students, researchers, and industry professionals in a critical dialogue on music production cultures, innovative technologies, and the pressing need for increased equity, diversity and inclusion in our field. Building upon a successful pilot workshop hosted online in November 2020, this paper highlights the integrated pedagogy of our research forum; the topics and presenters’ demographics of the 2020 sessions; and our vision for the 2021 event. To show evidence of the teaching effectiveness of our audio education approach, we report on feedback from students about the 2020 edition. This work aims at providing a resource for educators and conference organizers who seek to design curriculums and events to transform audio traditions.
