Discussion Topics

We propose a LATAM NIME Research Network, with which we aim to start a discussion and generate ideas around short-termed actionable initiatives that the network and the community could explore in the near future. Some of these actions include:

• Establishing a LATAM NIME Network:

  • Building stronger ties through multiple communication platforms (e.g., a mailing list, a Discord Server, a Slack Workspace, a Telegram/WhatsApp group, a wiki, a forum, etc.)

  • Developing LATAM NIME pedagogies

  • Organising mentorship programmes

• Exploring LATAM NIME Perspectives:

  • Decolonising NIME research

  • Making NIME research more affordable and resourceful

• Thinking of Next Steps for LATAM NIME:

  • Hosting more NIMEs in LATAM

  • Organising Local NIME Chapters and Hubs in LATAM (As well as organising regular local and remote events)

  • Writing NIME Papers in the Languages of LATAM
