ABSTRACT
Education in the field of audio engineering is relatively very young. Electronic music programs began in the 1970s and then some transformed into “audio technology” or “music recording” programs in the 1980s. As programs expanded, so did opportunities for women in music engineering. During this time, Robin Coxe-Yeldham was an influential associate professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston (USA). Theresa Leonard was director of audio at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada. Dr. Liz Dobson of the University of Huddersfield in England authored a book chapter called “Digital Audio Eco Feminism” (for the book Creativities in Arts Education, Research and Practice) and leads the Yorkshire Sound Women’s Network, which hosts workshops and training opportunities. Cosette Collier teaches at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee (USA). Valeria Palomino brings her experience of recording ensembles and orchestras to the classroom in Mexico. Lisa Nigris heads up recording facilities at the New England Conservatory in Boston (USA). Martha de Francisco, from Columbia, South America, established herself in Europe and teaches in North America at McGill University in Canada.
