Abstract

As our society wrapped up the most recent Symposium on Music Teacher Education, discussion and planning almost immediately turned to preparations for the 2023 Symposium. While conditions related to the ongoing pandemic required us to hold our 2021 Symposium as an online event, our intention as a society is to return in 2023 to an in-person gathering as we did every 2 years from 2005 to 2019. That intention comes amid many important conversations occurring across higher education and other professions with regard to the future of professional meetings (Flaherty, 2021). Not only do conference organizers need to be concerned with how people can travel and gather safely, but we must examine how we can avoid marginalizing any persons due to cost, identity, or geographic barriers. The Society for Music Teacher Education (SMTE) remains committed to equity in our work on music teacher education, and this commitment has to extend to how we engage in equitable practices in professional meetings. Much as our parent organization, the National Association for Music Education (NAfME, n.d.), is committed to promoting equity and access for PK–12 students to have music included in their education, SMTE has to promote equity and access in the selection of a site for our biennial Symposium. This has been especially relevant since 2017, when the Executive Board joined many other organizations in moving events out of North Carolina due to a new discriminatory law targeting gender identity in restroom access (SMTE, 2016). This was a major undertaking for our society, as the University of North Carolina Greensboro had been home to the Symposium for the first 10 years of its existence, and in many ways the Symposium was only successful because of the generous support of the faculty and administration there. After holding our 2017 Symposium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we returned to Greensboro in 2019 after the law had been repealed. During the 2019 Symposium, we heard the concerns from our members that the repeal had not fully addressed the discrimination enshrined into the laws of that state, and that some members were barred from accessing state funding for travel to

随着最近一次音乐教师教育研讨会的结束,我们的讨论和计划几乎立即转向了2023年研讨会的准备工作。虽然与当前大流行相关的情况要求我们将2021年的研讨会作为在线活动举行,但我们作为一个社会的意图是在2023年恢复到面对面的聚会,就像我们从2005年到2019年每两年举行一次一样。这一意图出现在高等教育和其他专业领域关于专业会议未来的许多重要对话中(Flaherty, 2021)。会议组织者不仅需要关注人们如何安全地旅行和聚会,还必须研究如何避免因成本、身份或地理障碍而使任何人边缘化。音乐教师教育协会(SMTE)一直致力于在我们的音乐教师教育工作中保持公平,这一承诺必须扩展到我们如何在专业会议中参与公平的实践。就像我们的上级组织,全国音乐教育协会(NAfME, n.d.),致力于促进PK-12学生在他们的教育中获得音乐的公平和机会一样,SMTE必须在选择我们两年一次的研讨会的地点时促进公平和机会。自2017年以来,这一点尤为重要。当时,由于一项针对厕所使用性别认同的新歧视性法律,执行委员会与许多其他组织一起将活动迁出北卡罗来纳州(SMTE, 2016)。这是我们社会的一项重大任务,因为北卡罗莱纳大学格林斯博罗分校在其存在的头十年里一直是研讨会的举办地,在许多方面,研讨会的成功都是因为那里的教职员工和管理人员的慷慨支持。2017年,我们在明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯市举行了研讨会。2019年,该法案被废除后,我们又回到了格林斯博罗。在2019年的研讨会上,我们听到了会员们的担忧,他们认为废除法案并没有完全解决该州法律中所规定的歧视问题,一些会员被禁止获得国家资助前往该州旅行
