Carolina Weyh
Carolina Weyh is a postdoctoral researcher in the fields of Music Education and Digital Education and Schooling. Her research focuses on diversity-related issues in music education, discourse research in music education, and AI in (music) education.
She is currently working on the RECOMPOSE research project (Recomposing the Blackbox – Critical Education through AI-Powered Music Generation) and is investigating how a special AI-supported platform for music production can promote critical AI skills among students and teachers. The project focuses both on demystifying the mechanisms and highlighting the social impact of AI technologies.
