Online Diversity Workshop January 2021
Pilot Workshop
We ran a 2-3 hr zoom workshop in early January where we discussed initiatives to improve diversity and inclusivity within NIME over both the long and short term.
Topics we discussed
Presenting results from the NIME 2020 diversity survey and discuss comments and suggestions such as:
Setting up a sibling system to help newcomers to the community navigate NIME language and get the most out of conference attendance
English-as-first-language editing assistance for those with great research, but not as great English skills and limited funds to hire assistance.
Developing a mentorship program.
Financial and geographical impediments to NIME participation.
Planning a diversity workshop for NIME 2021.
We welcome additional ideas and suggestions for future discussion and hope this workshop had yielded some well-defined actionable items.
