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
