Research and Thesis

When interested in a career in research and/or a Ph.D. it may be advisable to plan on doing a thesis. Some larger companies may also prefer students with a thesis. Everyone’s path is different though and there are some exceptions to these broad rules. Your advisor will work with you to determine what the best choice will be for you. 

Research Thesis Requirements 

Master’s Thesis In order to complete the degree in a reasonable time, students should identify a topic and start work on a thesis early. Identification of a thesis topic should be done during or before the second semester in residence. It is the student’s responsibility to take the initiative to engage in activities that will lead to the identification of a thesis topic. While there is no unique sequence of steps that should be taken in order to arrive at the definition of an appropriate problem, a few suggestions may be helpful. A student may enter the graduate program with a definite interest. A student may be able to identify a thesis topic from course work or readings. Some portion of the research in which a faculty member is engaged may be developed as a thesis. Each professor has interests and ideas that may provide stimulating suggestions. Graduate students should contact faculty members; they welcome the opportunity to get acquainted with students. Other sources of stimulation and advice are discussions with other students, attendance at professional meetings, and familiarity with the relevant literature. Finally, in carrying out term paper requirements for courses, students have an opportunity to get the background understanding and information which will enable them to sense a problem that is both interesting and of reasonable scope. The master’s thesis is intended to be a focused research exercise on a manageable topic. It should be focused on a well-defined topic with restricted scope. At the same time, it must be carried out with care and rigor. Peer-reviewed publications and at least one conference paper is expected. The committee will supervise the work throughout the preparation of the thesis with the chair or co-chairs taking major responsibility. The student should consult with the chair and the committee in connection with any major problems, and keep them informed of progress. It is beneficial for all concerned that concise (monthly) reports are provided to the committee to keep them abreast of progress and any problems that need to be addressed. Regular meetings with the chair or committee are also usually very helpful. Be sure to take full advantage of workshops that are made available by The Graduate School. For instance, M.S. students should take this Electronic Theses and Dissertations workshop at the end of their first year. Once the thesis has been completed, it should be carefully edited and tentatively approved by the committee. The student may then proceed to arrange a suitable time and place for the oral examination according to the rules of the Graduate School, using MyPack Portal . All theses are submitted electronically to the Graduate School. Once the thesis is defended, it must be approved by the advisory committee with original signatures of the members of the advisory committee on the title page. Once the student has the signed title page, they can meet with the graduate thesis/dissertation editor. Before final approval, the thesis will be reviewed by the Graduate School to ensure that it conforms to the specifications prescribed in the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Guide . The editor will give the student a date by which the thesis must be submitted electronically in order for the student to graduate in a given semester. Students should plan to provide a final copy of the thesis to each committee member, if they request it.

Master’s Thesis Defense and Oral Examination Candidates for the master’s degree must pass a comprehensive oral examination to demonstrate to the advisory committee that they possess a reasonable mastery of the subject matter of the major and supporting fields and that this knowledge can be used with promptness and accuracy. The oral examination includes an oral presentation about the thesis and questions focused on the project. Authorization to hold the examination is requested through the Graduate School. The examination may not be held until all other requirements, except completion of the course work for the final semester, are satisfied. A mutually agreeable time of no less than two hours must be scheduled for the examination. A unanimous vote of approval by the advisory committee is required for passing the oral examination. However, approval of the examination may be conditioned upon the completion of additional work to the satisfaction of the advisory committee. Failure of a student to pass the examination terminates the student’s graduate program unless otherwise unanimously recommended by the advisory committee. Oral examinations for master’s degree candidates are open to all faculty, students and staff. Discussion and decisions regarding the student’s performance are confidential to the advisory committee. Graduate School requirements for the master’s degree are outlined in the NC State University Graduate Catalog . Students are urged to review carefully the section pertaining to the degree sought.

Advisory Committee   At the master’s level, the Advisory Committee shall consist of at least: 1) two members from the TATM graduate faculty. The third committee member may be a TATM graduate faculty member or a NC State University Graduate Faculty Member.

“Pre-consumer Textile Waste from Waste Bin to Wearable"

Presently, textile industry is facing immense criticism on its excessive and wasteful consumption of fiber resources, which led to elevation in textile waste. Pakistan, being the contemporary face of the Indus Valley Civilization, has a history of sustainable textiles, reusing and repurposing textiles in rotation. The aim of this research is to provide simple solutions, inspired from vernacular dressmaking techniques, specifically Kurta and its different types to explore surface design possibilities, while utilizing leftover pre consumer textile waste. The researcher desire to inculcate, if not the same as practice in west, but some knowledge and take part in providing solutions to reduce the waste and in the long run production of excessive textiles. For the purpose, 10 different types of kurta designs have been explored while reusing leftover textile waste collected from tailors’ shops. These kurtas have been ideated and further executed from pre consumer textile waste and transforming those in wearables.

What is life? We ask ourselves this question at different points in our lives. The answer to thisquestion also differs according to our personal experiences that have shaped us layer by layer like an onion. I feel this same sense of layers in felting (namde), as the namda is created by bonding layers upon layers of wool and eventually shape into a fabric as an existence. I wish to explore the layers of life which form us, layer upon layer of experiences leaving their mark on our personality, in accordance with the amazing, layered art of felting. I have identified the layers in the story as stages. Every stage has a special colour and impact that has formed my personality. For depicting every life stage and its layers, I will create different felt pieces depicting life in the form of different layers.

Reflection of Kashikari through textile

The aim of this study is to explore and acknowledge the beauty of our cultural handcraft Kashikari, which often brush aside. It is an attempt to recreate and reinforce it by replicating through textile medium and to pay tribute to the artisans of this specific craft. This research is mainly focused on Punjab’s kashikari predominantly Multan and Lahore. The whole work is executed through manual and digital textile printing techniques along with different surface embellishments to achieve the look and beauty of kashikari inspired designs.

My thesis research is conceptualized on the art movement of the 1800’s, Art Nouveau. The art movement under discussion, incorporated a new style with design solutions focusing more on natural forms, curves and lines. And that is the main source of inspiration for my work. The execution of my work incorporates Screen Printing Technique; using ‘Line’ as the main element and is printed on different upholstery fabric which is further enhanced in using textile techniques of patchwork/cutwork. My work aims to create a visual interior environment, showcasing the design element of lines and curves with the basic inspiration from the whiplash curves, sinuous lines of Art Nouveau. The colour palette used is also inspired from the natural aspect and the artists of that period, combining natural hues, shades, and tones. The execution will further be represented in an interior space which includes, sofa throws, curtain belts, and patches as interior products.

Seashells are the outer hard covering of molluscs. The thesis is aimed at exploring the delicacy, beauty, and the line pattern of seashells. Whenever I experience shells, few things are very prominent while experiencing it which is the line pattern prominent on the shell which creates movement. Through this experience I shall be trying to depict the commonality which is the flow and continuity in my work. The flow and continuity were the most prominent thing that attracted me in the shells delicacy. For creating design, the physical element is that of seashell while the placement of seashells shows movement and connection that is the most prominent aspect of my work. Through this thesis I shall be connecting people with nature and highlighting the beauty and form of seashells. The designs shall be created digitally on Adobe Photoshop and then be transferred onto fabric for the final products through digital printing.

Through my work I am translating light manipulation and translucency of stained-glass windows in textiles. The Opalescent era of stained glass has been the focus of inspiration as it was an era when stained glass moved away from strictly religious themes to more nature inspired motifs that would appeal to a wider audience. In this way I am using silk painting, beadwork and dabka to depict the effect of stained glass in fabrics that can be used by many people despite their religion or race. The purpose of my research is to explore an ancient art form in a different way as its importance has decreased over the years.

The Human desire to connect with nature and be in its surroundings is the main driving power behind my thesis topic. Nature has an important role in an individual's life. The unbreakable bond between humans and natural space is what always fascinated me, but over time it’s somehow lost because of many reasons, and we do not really get time to spend in nature's company. So, my work is basically based on the concept of “Relive Lost Connections” Being a textile student, I love to work in Batik which provides me with many options in creating my artwork. My work execution incorporates batik on silk for it helps me in exploring unique sides of art pieces and enhancing its beauty. This thesis will be focused on creating such interior space which will increase human connection with natural world by incorporating Biophilic design. The Panels will showcase the biophilic attributes which will visually reconnect humans with nature.

Nature has always been the main source of inspiration for artists and designers as humanity has always been fascinated by the it and specially the astounding shapes and forms of clouds on sky. Shimmering in sunlight, the luminous clouds in a scattered formation provide an impeccable scene for naturists to admire. In this research different state and forms of clouds are used as a symbol of human emotions. The study focuses on the comparison of emotions between clouds (as a nature element) and human emotions, which would benefit in appreciating the unique features of clouds in our mundane lives. This will symbolically present clouds as human moods, which consists of layers of feelings that never last forever. For the execution of this project multiple sheer fabrics have been explored along with fabric manipulation and different textile techniques, keeping in mind the transparency, flexibly and delicacy of clouds.

The purpose of this research is to explore the beauty of rich cultural craft Meenakari jewellery with a traditional value attached to it as a royal craft of subcontinent. This study is an attempt to acknowledge the artisans and craftmanship by taking inspiration from Meenakari technique and designs and recreating it in textile medium. Main source of inspiration for this study is the meenakari jewellery of JAIPUR city, which is considered the hub of this craft. To obtain the look and beauty of meenakari inspired designs, the entire process is completed using manual and digital textile printing techniques, as well as other surface embellishments.

A motif is a basic and dominant unit of any design that is further composed aesthetically to create surface pattern. This research is about developing motifs and patterns by taking inspiration from contemporary urban forms and creating fusion of primitive and contemporary motifs. Different practice approaches have been used to execute the final shape of contemporary motifs, from manual sketches to treating raw images on software to create surface patterns.

Information About Resources

This LibGuide provides a very small portion of textile-related resources that are available. Textiles involve a multi-disciplinary (including, but not limited to: art, art history, archaeology, anthropology, business, chemistry, geography, and history) approach to study and there exists overlap in the relationships between different disciplines of study.  With respect to the hundreds of fields, aspects, and geographical orgins associated with textiles, this LibGuide touches upon four general topics:

Design  addresses aesthetic components and choices relative to textile design and focuses on two aspects: color and surface design.  "Color" touches upon the human perception of color and the values that can be associated or measured with color; some people have based their entire education and professional work in the study of color and color systems alone.  "Surface design"  refers to a few examples of affecting different aesthetics and/or textures to textile materials.

Fiber touches upon fiber classification, creating textiles from fibers, sustainable fibers, and textile quality and control standards. Because there are an infinite number of options regarding technique and stylistic interpretations, this is a very basic introduction to the basic components of textile production.

History focuses on the resources about the history of textiles as well as historical resources about textiles. Because textiles have origins before the written word, this LibGuide will not extensively delve into the history of textiles. 

Images offers a few resources to find visual examples of textiles through keyword searches in databases containing relevant images.

News/Blogs provides links to seven different web pages and blogs through RSS feeds: Textile Exchange, the TAFA (Textile and Fiber Artists) List, Textile Source Blog, The Textile Blog, R. John Howe's Textile and Text Blog (associated with The Textile Museum), Puff and Flock, and 2Modern Design Talk.

Preservation offers some suggestions for how to care for and preserve textiles and lists the most common "enemies" of textiles. Additionally, a list of books on the topic of textile preservation are included.

These topics are meant to be starting points for you research and/or curiosity about textiles.  Hopefully, they will inspire you to explore further and enjoy the world of textiles!

Please note you do not have access to teaching notes, sustainability topic trends in the textile and apparel industry: a text mining-based magazine article analysis.

Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management

ISSN : 1361-2026

Article publication date: 12 April 2021

Issue publication date: 1 March 2022

The purpose of this study is to (1) identify the sustainable practices developed by the textile and apparel industry and (2) investigate the gaps and opportunities in the sustainability implementation process by quantitively analyzing the sustainability topics and the relevant topic trends.

Design/methodology/approach

This study employed text mining techniques. A total of 1,168 relevant magazine articles published from 2013 to 2020 were collected and then categorized according to their tones. In total, 36 topics were identified by reviewing the sustainability issues in the industry. The frequency of each topic mentioned in the articles and the correlation coefficients between topics' frequencies and published time were calculated. The results were used to examine if the three sustainability dimensions (environment, society, economy) were equally addressed and identify opportunities in the sustainability implementation process.

There were much fewer social and economic topics than environmental topics discussed in the articles. Additionally, there were not enough practices developed to reduce microfiber pollution, improve consumers' knowledge of sustainability, offset the carbon footprint, build a transparent, sustainable supply chain and avoid animal cruelty.

Originality/value

There is a lack of research focusing on the whole supply chain and sustainability when investigating sustainable practices and topic trends. This study fills a part of the gap. The results can be used by industrialists to identify sustainable practice opportunities and better manage their sustainable supply chains. Researchers can utilize the results to compare the topics in the industry with the topics studied in academia.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS:

Several recent studies indicate increased consumer interest in purchasing sustainably marketed products, even amidst the pandemic i . THESIS 2020 data from 152 companies across 36 different categories of textiles spanning the industry from apparel to linens to footwear to see if there were types of textiles whose brands were taking relatively more action towards implementing sustainability practices. We found that, of the top five performing textile categories in THESIS, four were categories where we’d expect more consumer interest in product safety: baby’s footwear, children’s activewear, bedding, and children’s footwear ii .

Across the analyzed categories the performance difference is most notable in key performance indicators related to the following:

Social Hotspots

Responsible Sourcing

Management of Priority Chemicals

These trends correspond with similar movements happening throughout the textile industry iii . The public is increasingly paying closer attention to what is in and who is making the textiles they purchase. THESIS data also indicates that sustainable practices are less common in categories where safety may be less of a concern to consumers (e.g., accessories). These factors lead us to TSC’s working theory, which is that consumers and brands tend to focus their attention on “closer to home” textiles (i.e., those that touch their own or their family’s bodies).  

Consumer Attention to Health Evident by Comparing Categories of Textiles

Shifts towards healthier lifestyles are key to understanding the connection between closer to home textiles and trends in creating more sustainable clothing. Take, for example, when organic food became more widely available in the early 2000s and with it an increased public awareness of the potential health and environmental impacts of pesticide use. By 2008 Nielsen reported “Organics have generated one of the largest sales increases (…) compared to sales four years ago” iv . Meanwhile, over in the textiles sector, by 2006 organic cotton conversion programs enabled small and medium enterprises to join large companies like Nike in making organic cotton available to consumers v . Within two years global organic cotton production jumped from just over 50,000 tons to 175,000 tons in 2008/09 vi . It stands to reason that availability fuels desire, which then fuels more availability. If you were in a store and see organic clothing available, then it may make you question the conventional clothing you were planning to purchase. This snowball effect is naturally more prominent in some of our leading textiles like childrenswear where a healthy lifestyle is already a top priority for many consumers.

Currently we are seeing consumers pay more attention to activewear and home textiles and, subsequently, the sustainability of these products. While these shifting consumer trends had begun prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, the global pandemic has certainly emphasized prioritizing healthier lifestyles including a healthy home. Social impacts of clothing production have also come to the public forefront, potentially driven by the prominent social movements taking place globallyvii. Research by Accenture identified three major consumer trends for the post-pandemic market: 

1. increasing focus on health, 2. a rise in conscious consumption, and 3. purchasing locally made products viii .

According to THESIS 2020 data, the following were the top and bottom five performing categories from the 152 companies assessing their sustainability performance across 36 different categories of textiles (100% = best). A brand’s attention to product safety is best captured by performance on THESIS’s Priority Chemical Management KPI. Dyes, dyeing accelerants, and other chemicals used in textile production can lead to adverse health effects for workers, residual contamination of products, consumer health hazards, release of harmful chemicals into the wastewater and ecosystems, and leaching from landfills upon product disposal. The categories where we might assume consumers have heightened safety concerns proved to be the top performers: Bedding and Baby Clothing.

Responsible Sourcing of Plant and Synthetic-Derived Materials is Challenging

Textiles are made from either plant or synthetic materials (or a blend). In both cases, supply chain risks exist. Cultivation of plant-derived materials (e.g., cotton, linen, and hemp) may create negative social and environmental impacts. Social impacts may include child labor use, forced labor, access to material and immaterial resources, fair income, and worker health and safety. Environmental impacts may include greenhouse gas emissions, water use, fertilizer runoff, and pesticide exposure. Conversely, production of synthetic (e.g., polyester, nylon, etc.) and semisynthetic (e.g., rayon, viscose, etc.) materials for use in textile manufacturing may lead to impacts from energy consumption, wastewater generation, resource use, worker exposure to chemicals and other hazards, as well as risk of labor rights issues.  

Figure 2 to the right shows the relevant THESIS data from 2020. While some textile categories are seeing significant improvements in sourcing practices (e.g., Bedding’s synthetic material sourcing and Curtains’ plant-based material sourcing), 40% or more of material assessed was not verified to be covered by sustainable sourcing practices. The numbers are similar for both plant and synthetic materials.

Plant or synthetic materials are often sourced as commodities, where raw material or fabric is bought by the manufacturer on the open market from a distributor or trader. As a commodity supply generally lacking sustainability requirements or relevant certifications (except for organic certified cotton), brands may tend to source synthetics options based on pricing and availability rather than transparency. Without traceability, a brand has limited opportunity to influence the sustainable practices within its supply chain. Conversely, brands focused on sustainability and transparency will apply those goals to their whole portfolio and are well-positioned to drive better transparency in their material sourcing.  

Call to Action

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change, warned that we must halve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate change due to exceeding 1.5°C of global warming above pre-industrial temperatures ix .

Higher-end clothing brands like Stella McCartney are responding with a recognition and reevaluation of their largest impacts – land use and GHG emissions x . And, thanks in part to retailers using THESIS and launching programs like Walmart’s Project Gigaton , calls for action are being received by brands that have been focused on hotspots consumers may find easier to understand, like organic cotton and removing dyes and fragrances. Science-based organizations and initiatives like The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) , the Sustainable Apparel Coalition , ZDHC , the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) , and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation are helping these brands shift their focus to bigger impact hotspots like GHG reduction, water use, and wastewater treatment, all of which are imperative for sustainable textiles. Yet progress on most of these issues, particularly GHG emissions at manufacturing and water use in the supply chain has been slow (see Figure 3).

In summary, watch for trends in “closer to home” textiles; especially if they overlap with consumer desire for active, healthier lifestyles. The product safety and overall sustainability performance improvements we are seeing in categories like Baby Footwear, Children’s Activewear and Footwear, Men’s Activewear, and Bedding is likely to trickle into other categories as consumer awareness and demand increases. And while sourcing plant and synthetic-derived materials from farms and facilities with verifiable, comprehensive plans for environmental and social impacts remains an opportunity for improvement, the progress made from 2019-2020 is an indicator that companies are beginning to implement responsible sourcing policies and programs. Now it is time to think bigger and act more aggressively on climate change-related issues like greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and wastewater generation xi .
