MAKING CONNECTIONS ACROSS THE CULTURES OF RESEARCH, DESIGN, AND TEACHING IN AN ERA OF UNCERTAINTY
Prentice-Hall Distinguished Lecture Mary Lynn Damhorst Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011
Reflection on the past can be useful in planning for the future. In fitting with my new role as Vice President for Planning for ITAA, I present data to help us look at some trends in scholarship in the field of textiles, apparel, and merchandising. These trends may help us con-sider where we want ITAA to head in the near future. I will consider the broadest array of scholarship -research, teaching, and design or art.
ITAA's primary mission is to advance scholarly activity-research, theory develop-ment, education pedagogy, and creative work. The organizational culture of ITAA is very much focused on scholarship. Members of ITAA make, produce, apply, and disseminate scholarship. In the rapid climate of change forecast for the 21st century, we should expect to see many changes ahead in the culture of scholarship in ITAA.
I focus today on major venues for pre-senting the products of our scholarship-ITAA publications and, in particular, Clothing and Textiles Research Journal (CTRJ). To prepare a trend analysis, I examined the content of CTRJ over the last five years and compared it with other principal journals serving our field. I looked at several facets of journal content to help us think about multiple possibilities for the future and the consequences of choices we might make in ITAA publications.
I compared five journals originating in the United States-CTRJ, Family and Con-sumer Sciences Research Journal (FCSRJ), Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences (JFCS), Dress, and Fashion Theory (the latter is published in England but the editor and founder resides in the U.S.). This is not an ethnocentric plot but instead a result of time limits. There are certainly important journals serving our field from other countries around the world. Likewise, I ignored some important journals in textiles, history, retailing, the arts, and other fields.
Volume of Articles. Table 1 is a list of the number of articles printed in each journal over the last five years. We can see some inter-esting trends. First, there was a substantial drop in number of articles published in CTRJ in 1998. Notice also that the new Fashion Theory journal has printed a greater number of articles than CTRJ during 1998 and 1999. Some of the articles in Fashion Theory are book or exhibition reviews, but even subtract-ing those would give the journal a fairly equivalent publication rate to CTRJ. And why subtract those reviews? Many of the reviews offer a substantial level of complex scholarly thinking. In addition, if the numbers of articles are added together for FCSRJ and JFCS, these two journals published by the American Asso-ciation of Family and Consumer Sciences have printed an equivalent amount of scholarship to CTRJ this year so far.
