“…Goggin (2011) described the field of graphic design as a “distinctly in-between discipline” that supports the use of “the systems of other disciplines when desired and where relevant” (p. 55). Barnes (2012) supports this approach, suggesting an interdisciplinary “understanding of methods and approaches from outside the discipline” (p. 14).…”

“…In the past 10–15 years, scholars in fields such as graphic design, interior design, craft, and art, as in apparel design, have explored research through making, especially with interest in what constitutes knowledge and how it is valued in academia. The field of graphic design has grappled with the role of the graphic designer in academia as a researcher and a knowledge producer (Barnes, 2012). Goggin (2011) described the field of graphic design as a “distinctly in-between discipline” that supports the use of “the systems of other disciplines when desired and where relevant” (p. 55).…”

Apparel and textile (AT) design scholarship can be classified in diverse ways. As a professional organization, International Textile and Apparel Association is in a unique position to lead in identifying what constitutes contributions to research in the field. Defining, presenting, and evaluating design production as scholarship is critical, especially as the broader design disciplines become more rigorous and academic institutions become more focused on evaluation metrics. Our purpose was to examine AT design scholarship through the lens of three critical components of research: shared knowledge, dissemination, and evaluation. These three components of research should be points of reference for AT design scholarship in moving forward to establish a unified vision of research that focuses on designed objects as valuable forms of scholarship. Additional work is necessary to identify core values that represent AT design knowledge, disseminate in formats that facilitate contributions to research, and measure the impact of design scholarship.
