Melody, Sonali, and Jana will work on the Sustainability and Climate Change cluster.

New Business – Reports/Issues/Plans

Discussion of presentations for the next ITAA or other organizations’ meetings:

Discussion of a resilience topic and how to connect it to the three grand challenges.

Sonali suggested to have next ITAA session as a recruitment for people to join/work on the three clusters, with potential funding application.

Melody and Sonali will lead framing the next special topic session submission “Importance of networking and grand challenges.” Melody will focus on community resilience piece, which will be an umbrella for the entire session.

Sonali suggested another session for ITAA 2018 meeting on transdisciplinary collaboration. Jana suggested to have it as a seminar session. Possible to have it as a panel, with breakdown into small groups or individual barnstorming sessions.

Discussion of the group’s role – moving to a more proactive mode of reaching out to researchers, educators, etc.
1. Melody recommended the course “Thinking resilience” [?] that she has recently completed and will email information to the group.
2. Melody, Pam, and Elena work on multi-university USDA grant submission with a larger group. Proposal will be submitted in Spring 2018, focus on moral decisions education development.
3. Jana suggested NHI as potential funding agency for transgender needs in terms of appearance management.

Melody’s proposal for organizing a new research group:

Formed a research group consisting of Sonali, Jill and Melody to focus on resilience.

Melody created a NCCC1030 “Sustainable Firms and Communities” local project focusing on entrepreneurs and small business owners and helping communities.

To form a 1030 local project, Melody had to select one of the objectives of the larger project to focus. She could to it independently or create a small group of collaborators.

Discussion of the next year’s meeting.
1. Consensus was not to combine it with ITAA due to several members’ involvement with ITAA Council or TAPAC.

Sonali suggested to visit Dillard’s headquarters in Phoenix.

Jana suggested Amazon and PetSmart that are also in Phoenix.

Missy suggested to have an expert to do a session on resilience.

Melody will check with Post Carbon Institute.

Discussion of leadership roles:

Jana will be the group’s Chair for the next year and prepare the next meeting. Scarlett will remain Vice-Chair and Elena – secretary. At the 2018 meeting, a new secretary will be elected. Scarlett will become Chair, and Elena will assume Vice-Chair responsibilities.

Leadership change will happen following the group’s annual meeting in October.

Business meeting was adjourned at 11:30 am for lunch and visit Walmart.

Accomplishments

<ol> <li>Completed Activities and Accomplishments</li> </ol> <ul> <li> The Nuances of Federal Grant Writing </li> </ul> Hawley, J. M., Ellis, J., Wesley, S., LeHew, M., Damhorst, M., Jasper, C., Hegland, J., Wu, J., and Bye, E. (November, 2016). Nuances of federal grant writing. Panelists: Chattarman, V., Ha-Brookshire, J., Karpova, E., LeHew, M. The Nuances of Federal Grant Writing. Special Topics session, 2017 International Textile and Apparel Association conference, Vancouver, BC. Impact:  This special topic session was held at the annual meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association in Vancouver, BC. Grant writing has become the new normal expectation for university research funding. At the same time, researchers encounter increasingly fierce competition for these limited, historically low, funds. The new reality for grant seeking seems bleak in that there exist low funding rates, constrained university budgets, and the need for universities to remain the center for research and economic development.   However, with a better understanding of the process the new normal need not be so bleak.  The purpose of this session was to shed insights on the federal grants programs.  This special topic session provides an insider’s perspective on the nuances of federal grant writing, projections for future funding, and a vision for charting the future.  The session began with a live video cast from Robbin Shoemaker, National Program Leader for Economics, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, USDA.  Following Shoemaker’s talk, we will convene a panel of members of the NCCC065 group and other ITAA members, along with Robin Shoemaker. The panel discussed grant-related topics such as understanding the nuances of the RFP, matching your ideas to the RFP, forming interdisciplinary collaborations, working with your campus office of research and the agency program director, budget development, professional standards and ethics, review process, solicitation from industry, the value of a grant writer, grant management, finding international collaborators, and reporting. The proposal coordinators moderated the NCCC065 initiative. Outcomes:  Thirty-five professors, administrators, and graduate students from more than 23 universities across the country attended the special topic session. The list of universities is included in Appendix A. Majority (72%) had some experience with submitting/securing intramural or extramural funding, whereas nine attendees (25%) had no prior grant experience. Most of the attendees (86%) found the workshop “useful” or “very useful” and planned to use what they learned in the future, when writing proposals, finding collaborators, managing grants, etc. Examples of anonymous participants’ comments: “[session provided] step-wise guidance for international collaboration and/or international grants. Thank you for informative session.” “Excellent session, great key points from panelist.” “Great panel discussion, very useful!” “Thank you for inspiring that our discipline can do it and be funded.” <ul> <li> Exploring Issues and Impacts of Post-Consumer Textile Waste</li> </ul> Yan, T., Hawley, J. M., Chapron, Li, Diddi, S. (November, 2016) Where did your jeans go?  Exploring issues and impacts of post-consumer textile waste.  Special Topics session. 2017 International Textile and Apparel Association conference, Vancouver, BC Impact: This special topic session provided a platform for educators in the field (1) to understand the scope of the issue in relation to post-consumer textile wastes and challenges faced by the textile recycling industry, and (2) to discuss ways to increase awareness through education, and (3) to identify potential research ideas and collaboration projects among members. Ultimately, the session was a forum where apparel and textile academicians and professionals came together to discuss and develop teaching and learning related projects that would assist in student education and the need to minimize post-consumer textile wastes. <ul> <li> Development of Case Studies for Morally Responsible Agricultural Product Supply Chain Education.</li> </ul> Ha-Brookshire, J., Freeman, C., Kim, J., McAndrews, L., Norum, P., Jin, B., Karpova, E., LeHew, M., Marcketti, S. (2016-2017). Development of Case Studies for Morally Responsible Agricultural Product Supply Chain Education (MoRAPSCE). National Institute of Food and Agriculture: Higher Education Challenge Grants Program. $30,000. Impact: The project brought together nine educators/researchers from six US universities: University of Missouri-Columbia, Iowa State University, University of North Carolina – Greensboro, University of Georgia, Mississippi State University, and Kansas State University. The group explored morally challenging cases in the food, agricultural, natural resources, and human (FANH) related disciplines and consulted industry professionals. The goal was to prepare and submit a NIFA multi-year grant proposal. The overall goal of the project is to increase students’ multiple-perspective problem-solving and decision making skills with enhanced moral cognition, moral affect, and moral behavior. These skill sets will make them more industry- and change-ready, feeling empowered to make meaningful impacts on the world’s sustainable development as future professionals. Outcomes: The outcomes of the project were published in open access Sustainability journal: Ha-Brookshire, J., McAndrews, L., Kim, J., Freeman, C., Jin, B., Norum, P., LeHew, M., Hassal, L., Karpova, E., & Marcketti, S. (2017). Exploration of morally challenging business situations within the context of corporate sustainability in the global textile and apparel industry. Sustainability, 9, 1-17. doi:10.3390/su909164 The journal’s five-year impact factor = 1.85 (2016); H Index = 35 (2017). The authors explored a set of real-life business situations where business professionals experienced morally challenging dilemmas. The real-life business situations were interpreted using Kohlberg’s moral development theory. The results of in-depth individual interviews followed by three focus groups of industry professionals in spring 2017 showed that participants have experienced a variety of morally challenging business situations throughout their careers. This includes simple problems at the individual and firm levels, as well as wicked and complex problems at the industry and global levels. The study shows the need for moral development education. <ol> <li>Activities and Accomplishments in Progress</li> </ol> <ul> <li> The Dangers of Fashion: Towards Ethical and Sustainable Solutions</li> </ul> Marcketti, S. & Karpova.

Hawley, University of Arizona</li> </ul> Impact: The session will help participants to: (1) establish awareness and understanding of impact statements and their application in academics, (2) explore the reasons why impact statements should be a consistent practice implemented throughout our career, (3) to investigate who the various audiences are, and (4) highlight how powerful impact statements are written for stakeholders. Attendees will be guided through several scenarios and exercises to practice formulating precise and powerful impact statements as a group. The session will end with an opportunity for each of the attendees to write individual impact statements that contain the necessary components of a powerful impact statement.

(Accepted). The Future of Luxury. Seminar session for the annual meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association, St. Petersburg, FL.</li> </ul> Impact:  The luxury market is changing.  This is impacted by a variety of factors that cut across design and craftsmanship, technology, economics, culture, marketing, demographic shifts, and concerns for the environment, to name a few. Historically, the luxury industry focused on the affluent market, but in the last decade a “new normal” (D’Arpizio, Levato, Zito, and Motgolfier, 2015, p. 5) has emerged where luxury companies must pay attention to a multitude of changes in the marketplace that impact who their target customer is and how they will produce product. We have designed this session to inspire a cross-disciplinary and critical discussion on the topic of the future of luxury.  Strategies from Harvard’s ProjectZero/Visible Thinking will be used to inspire group thinking.  A digital monograph of white papers has been proposed. Additional NCCC065 members who will participate include Laurie Apple, University of Arkansas.   Appendix A List of Universities Attendees of “Nuances of Federal Grant Writing” special topic session were from the following universities: <ol> <li>Auburn University</li> <li>Florida State University</li> <li>Framingham University</li> <li>Iowa State University</li> <li>Kent State University</li> <li>Meredith College</li> <li>Mississippi State University</li> <li>Montclair State University</li> <li>North Carolina State University (4 people)</li> <li>Oklahoma State University</li> <li>University of Alabama</li> <li>University of Cincinnati (2 people)</li> <li>University of Delaware</li> <li>University of Minnesota</li> <li>University of Missouri - Columbia</li> <li>University of Nebraska (2 people)</li> <li>University of North Carolina - Greensboro</li> <li>University of Rhode Island </li> <li>University of South Carolina</li> <li>University of Tennessee</li> <li>Washington State University</li> <li>Western Michigan University</li> </ol> Eight participants did not indicate university affiliation.

OLD BUSINESS

Jana: Last year workshop at ITAA was a success, very good feedback was received from participants. Details are included in the annual report

Sri reported results of the survey conducted after the workshop.

Sonali – update on the upcoming presentation at ITAA

Melody will be involved in the presentation

Short presentation about each of the three clusters

Visioning exercise in small groups by clusters

Planning how the work will progress after the meeting (virtual meetings, projects, etc.)

Establish a platform for people to talk and become more interdisciplinary

Jana – this might be a good topic for next ITAA special topic session “How to partner with interdisciplinary researchers”

SYMPOSIUM announcement

“Fashion and XXXXX” – Missy announced that UM is looking for schools to host symposiums on various topics

CLUSTER REPORTS:

See appendicies for full report of each cluster for the past year.

Sustainable Consumption and Production, by Sonali:

Identified research gaps and submitted abstracts (Sonali, Melody and Jana) that was accepted for an international conference in Copenhagen with international panel but none of the authors were able to travel, so the abstract had to be recalled.

The cluster has started on a systematic literature review on SC&P – what had been addressed/studied and what are the next directions that would have the biggest impact

Jana – it would be a good idea for Ting to join the group with the impact of microfibers.

Jana – the other issue to address is to teach undergraduate students to be prepared to become industry professionals and make ethical decisions (courage)

Demographic Driven Marketplace cluster report presented by Scarlett and Pam:

Scarlett –will be representing the cluster at ITAA-2018 special topic session

Jana – perhaps metanalysis of CTRJ articles on the topic and report metanalysis for identifying high impact areas for future research instead of reinventing the wheel

Technology cluster by JuanJuan , Ting and Sri

JuanJuan, Laurie and Ting will be presenting at the ITAA -2018 special topic session

NEW BUSINESS

Increasing the impact of research in our discipline:

The mission of the group is to inspire and foster high-quality high-impact research

Jana – one of ITAA presentations could be what impact our research has on the world, with the Post-Carbon Institute a presentation at ITAA could be on consumer resilience

Pam – with the declining support from the legislature, we have to make sure our research matters to people and communities

Missy – scholarship of engagement is huge at UM; we need to encourage people and provide the means for them to be able to do that

Pam – increasingly important question is how our research can be connected to real people so our research does not sit in library journals, what is the impact of our research? How to get this out to all researchers in our field?

Jana – have a special topic at ITAA

Pam – walk around poster session with a little paper with questions about your research impact

Jana – how critical it is for survival of our field; maybe audience should be grad students? Or mentors of new faculty and grad students?

Elena –a fire-side chat with grad students in 2019 and preparing an editorial for CTRJ to start the conversation, then prepare a 2020 program for a half-day or workshop that would be a bigger impact

ADVISOR REPORT – Missy Bye

Accomplishments

<ol> <li>Completed Activities and Accomplishments</li> </ol>     <ul> <li> Writing Impact Statements</li> </ul>   Hawley, J., Hegland, J., Diddi, S., & Karpova, E. (November 2017). The Power of Impact Statements: What, Why, Who and How. Special Topic Session. Coordinator: Jana M. Hawley, University of Arizona Accomplishment: This special topic session was held at the annual meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association in St. Petersburg, FL. The session was designed to help participants to: (1) establish awareness and understanding of impact statements and their application in academics, (2) explore the reasons why impact statements should be a consistent practice implemented throughout our career, (3) to investigate who the various audiences are, and (4) highlight how powerful impact statements are written for stakeholders. Following a formal presentation where the what, why and how of impact statements, attendees were guided through several scenarios and exercises to practice formulating precise and powerful impact statements in small groups guided by the presenters and other NCCC065 members. The session ended with an opportunity for each of the attendees to write their individual impact statements that contain the necessary components of a powerful impact statement focusing on research, teaching, and/or outreach. Additional NCCC065 Members who assisted with the session meeting were: Melody LeHew, Kansas State University; Srikant Manchiraju, Florida State University; Elizabeth Bye, University of Minnesota; Scarlett Wesley, University of Kentucky; JuanJuan Wu, University of Minnesota; Jill Lee, Mississippi State University; and Ting Chi, Washington State University. Impact:  Thirty-eight professors, administrators, and graduate students from close to 20 universities across the country and abroad (i.e., Canada) attended the special topic session. Examples of participating universities included: Auburn University, Iowa State University, Virginia Tech University, University of Delaware, Ryerson University, Indiana State University, West Virginia University. Participants were asked to complete a survey at the end of the session. Thirteen participants returned completed surveys. Participants found the workshop “very useful” (67%) or “useful” (33%) and planned to use what they learned in the future, when writing proposals, communicating their research results to constituencies as well as teaching outcomes.   Examples of anonymous participants’ comments:   “Practical workshop! Thank you!”   “Will rely information to my faculty. Will conduct a workshop”   <ul> <li> The Future of Luxury</li> </ul>   Hawley, J. M., Cassill, N., and McGowan, K. –Coordinators. (November, 2017). The Future of Luxury. Seminar Session held at annual meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association, St. Petersburg, FL.   Purpose: The $1.15 trillion luxury industry has experienced unprecedented growth and change over the last decade. Comprised of three sectors:  personal (apparel, footwear, accessories), transportation (automotive, marine, personal aircraft), and experiential (home, furniture, hospitality, art, sports management), the luxury industry is diverse.  Textiles play a significant role across all sectors of luxury. The changes in the luxury industry require a new approach to thinking about, servicing and experiencing the luxury industry.  The 2017 ITAA seminar session, The Future of Luxury, was designed to inspire a cross-disciplinary and critical discussion on this very topic.  Proposals selected for this session, based on a call to the ITAA membership for participation, resulted in ten (10) proposals representing a variety of topics, with geographic representation of members interested in this important topic.  During the session, research themes and strategies were explored using a Visible Thinking technique and exercises from Project Zero formed at Harvard Graduate School of Education.  Project Zero uses observable representation that documents and supports the development of the group’s ongoing thoughts, questions, reasons and reflections. The Project Zero method encourages multiple intelligences, visible learning, and artful thinking (Tishman and Palmer, 20015).   Accomplishment: This seminar session was held at the annual meeting of the International Textile and Apparel Association in St. Petersburg, Florida. The session was designed to generate ideas about the future of the luxury industry. A total of 56 people participated in the session and worked together to identify and explore ideas that unfolded during the 2017 ITAA seminar session.  Participants worked in breakout groups to capture their ideas on a selected topic and write them on visible thinking roadmaps, resulting in the papers for this The Future of Luxury monograph. The goal was to capture new knowledge, skill sets and untapped markets for key luxury products to prepare future leaders in the global luxury industry, the future of which is vast and highly opportunistic. A total of 56 people participated in the session and worked together to identify and explore ideas that unfolded during the 2017 ITAA seminar session.  Participants worked in breakout groups to capture their ideas on a selected topic and write them on visible thinking roadmaps, resulting in the papers for this The Future of Luxury monograph. The goal was to capture new knowledge, skill sets and untapped markets for key luxury products to prepare future leaders in the global luxury industry, the future of which is vast and highly opportunistic.  Impact:  Topics explored during the working session of the seminar resulted in visual thinking posters on:    <ol> <li>The Heritage/History of the Luxury Industry and Brands</li> <li>Luxury and the Global Economy/Markets</li> <li>Luxury Culture, Design and Codes</li> <li>Luxury Brand Development</li> <li>Luxury and Sustainability</li> <li>Technology and Digital’s Impact on Luxury</li> </ol>   Following the 2017 ITAA Conference, a call for white papers was sent out to participants to further develop and explore ideas discussed during the working session.  In total, nine papers were submitted on topics including: <ol> <li>Luxury throughout history</li> <li>Embracing the Future of Luxury Products Through Product Innovation</li> <li>Luxury 3 Women</li> <li>Luxury Fashion in the Era of Technology</li> <li>Luxury Throughout History - The Evaluation of the Industry</li> <li>Millennials and Luxury</li> <li>Artisan Luxury</li> <li>The Influence of Sports Performance on Luxury</li> <li>Marketing Crafts from Developing Countries</li> <li>Luxury Markers</li> </ol>   The diversity of these papers represent the luxury industry of today and reflect the characteristics that are increasing in importance in this day and age.  Luxury is no longer easily defined or characterized, but rather it is fluid, evolving and dependent upon the individual from whom it is perceived.   Monograph #12, Future of Luxury was published in online format in October 2018.

Brief Summary of Minutes

Welcome and Introductions

Meeting called in session at 8:45 am by Scarlett Wesley after a welcome by Laura Druck at the Lincoln Experience Center.

Membership update:

Jana Hawley will not be a part of the group anymore

Jaeha Lee from NDSU will not be a part of the group anymore

Juanjuan will check with Sri and Cynthia to find out whether they’d continue their memberships with the group (follow-up emails confirmed that both will continue)

Elena accepted a position at UNCG. Eulanda Sanders will join the group to represent ISU. Elena intends to continue with the group and will email by the end of Nov. to confirm her membership

Discussion of additional members to add to the group and qualification

Ting mentioned the NCCC65 group to colleague from CAL State U at Pomona at the ITAA and asked about qualification.

Missy clarified that not just professors from land-grant universities are qualified. Faculty members with some level of seniority are especially encouraged to join. As NCCC65 is a coordinating committee instead of a research group its membership is intended to attract more experienced faculty members to lead and support young faculty.

The group will create a phone texting group contact for communication during meeting time.

Approval of 2017 Meeting minutes

Elena moved to approve the minutes as submitted. JuanJuan seconded the motion. Minutes were approved as submitted unanimously.

OLD BUSINESS

Updates on NCCC065 sponsored initiatives 2018-2019

ITAA workshop (Sonali): Combined the session with a similar session on external grants. The workshop was a success. There were 50 Participants. 8 or 10 people provide feedback. Created best practices hand out. There was some issue relating to scheduling conflict at the ITAA. One of the panelists Brad came on college funding. Perhaps that’s a strategy to go. Sonali will send the impact report.

Fashion and Active Aging joint symposium at U of MN (Juan): Partnered with Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts and co-sponsored by the China Center at UMN. 47 presentations (including 8 panelists and 2 keynote speakers), 4 design series displayed, and 26 posters representing approx. 25 universities and research centers from the US, China, Canada, Australia, and Korea. As a NCCC65 initiative, Pam organized a panel on Active Aging and Fashion, which included four panelists from Iowa Sate University, West Virginia University, University of Missouri, and University of Minnesota and presented on topics ranging from body image, technical design, to links between interior design and fashion.

SYMPOSIUM announcement: “Fashion and…”

– Missy announced that UMN is looking for schools to host symposiums on various topics under this brand name. The next one will be on Fashion and Freaks and Monsters in Hawaii (CFP sent out by the ITAA). Sonali suggested fashion and circular economy for 2021 and will be in contact for the possibility of hosting it.

Update on The Dangers of Fashion: Towards Ethical and Sustainable Solutions

Elena shared the topics covered in the book and that the book is at its final stage of proofreading. Ideas and offers of expanding the impact of the book is shared, such as zooming in authors to discuss their chapters in classrooms, renting digital copies, keeping high school students as an audience in mind, and reaching out intentionally for a broader audience, etc.

Iva inquired about using the book for a sustainable merchandising course.

Sonali and Jill are working on a book review together for Fashion Practice.

Authors suggested at the ITAA: Each author could make a video on their topics.

Update on the Fashion and Sustainability conference in London: Kate Fletcher gave a fabulous keynote speech. Elena only buys second hand since August for a year. Iva is also trying. They shared personal experiences of consuming second-hand clothing. Elena, Iva, Jill, and Juan will work together on a research project focusing on wardrobe swapping.

NEW BUSINESS

Reports/Issues/Plans

Brief discussions on the cluster concepts, whether we need to continue with these. Overall, the committee agrees that these are broad umbrellas established in our current proposal. A different direction could be reflected in our new proposal.

Directions of this group: To shift away from the strong sustainability focus. But more on what is driving the economy. How do we bring our experiences to the bigger group? Inspirational business: Zappos: adaptive service to their consumers.

As part of an ongoing discussion the group discussed our impact, our ROI as a group, and the possibilities of switching the group into a research group or dissolving the group. Available funding is a pro for continuing the group. (in follow-up email communications Elena raised concerns over switching the group into a research group due to our research interest alignment and output expectations. Juanjuan and Ting responded that staying as a coordinating committee could give us more flexibility in what we do).

Missy raised concerns of the position of our group in relation to the industry: We need to lead the direction instead of lagging behind the industry. Juan added that the field as a whole lags behind the industry. How could we work better with the industry to serve a leading role? Iva shared her experiences of not being able to develop as a researcher without reach outing to the industry. As a coordinating committee we need to stay ahead of the industry. Business is profit driven and thus is also limited in that way.

Sonali mentioned USDA: Hedge Umbrella funding available.

CLUSTER REPORTS:

Sustainable Consumption and Production cluster: Iva, Jana, Sonali. Report by Sonali: Plan to submit an ITAA session based on a literature review of trends on this cluster. A USDA Higher Education Challenge grant was submitted in May by Melody and Sonali.

Demographic Driven Marketplace cluster: Pam and Scarlett. Pam organized an Active Aging and Fashion panel at the Fashion and Active Aging joint symposium at the U of MN.

Technology cluster: Juanjuan, Ting, and Sri. By Ting and Juanjuan: Ting and Juanjuan both made research presentations with graduate students focusing on tech aspect of textiles or use of new tech, such as VR. Ting is working with Hang Liu to secure patent for recycling material (to reduce it to polymer level).

ADVISOR REPORT – Missy Bye

The project was funded through the end of 2021. The renew proposal is due in Feb. 2021.

To have speakers from NIFA for our next annual meeting. Not much going on currently in NIFA. USDA lost employees because of moving to Kansas City. Potential to connect with USDA, Kansas City is a possible meeting cite.

Discussion of Action Item:

ITAA workshop submission “Creating a data-driven experiential ecosystem in a disruptive marketplace”

Utilize RoadMapping as a workshop format. Plan for the day of the ITAA reception for the workshop. (Elena, Scarlett, and Juan will lead to develop the abstract. (Due Feb. 1^st, Possibility of zooming the speaker in) (In a follow up email Missy suggested not to bound to the ITAA)

NEXT YEAR MEETING

Kansas City – to have a NIFA representative to come to the meeting.

Work together on our new direction

New Business – Reports/Issues/Plans

Report: NCRA Administrator – Missy Bye

NIFA has been dealing with the pandemic and move to Kansas City. A fraction of the staff has moved to Kansas City. They are currently hiring new staff. Missy advocated for more visibility for Textiles and Apparel in conversations with NIFA. We are never included in the overall initiatives but could kind of fit in some smaller areas. Our group should advocate collectively for how our area could contribute to NIFA’s initiatives.

Jana is on the Board of Human Sciences as the incoming Chair. Erik Porfeli from Ohio State U. is our advocacy person in Washington. Jana suggested that we write to him to advocate for T&A. We need to try to open more doors for funding in our area. Sonny Ramaswamy is former director of NIFA. Jana suggested that we could follow him on Facebook. His wife is a textile scientist. He advocates for scientists to remain viable in this political climate. He is concerned that the value of science is diminishing.

Renewal report due Dec. 15, 2020.

Objectives and statement of issues and justifications have already been submitted for the next five years (2021-2025). Scarlett shared the three new objectives. The group discussed the procedures and activities that will contribute to achieving each of the objectives.

Ob1. Address existing and emerging issues related to social change in the marketplace by: connecting those with mutual research interests, building research partnerships, and sharing and critiquing research ideas pertaining to the three areas of technology, demographic changes, and sustainable consumption & production.

General ideas include:

We could do things step by step and set up sequential goals.

No need to get into details, such as identifying specific conferences.

could focus on building partnerships and identifying issues within our discipline.

Ob2. Develop and foster academic and industry relationships by engaging in research dissemination, idea exchange, and trend identification to help find grant funding, encourage new areas of scholarship, and develop cross-disciplinary collaborations pertaining to the three areas of technology, demographic changes, and sustainable consumption & production.

General ideas include:

Focus on cross-disciplinary collaborations: We need to figure out how to bring individuals from outside of our discipline into collaborative opportunities within the three targeted areas. Extend this format to encourage interdisciplinary work, and have participants identify people on campus who have expertise in these three areas who are not in the field of T&A.

Workshop at the ITAA. Set up round tables or Lunch discussions around the three different areas and invite people from other disciplines to take part in informal gatherings. Plant seeds for research groups.

Invite people outside of T&A to our conferences. Put together a panel of external people and we could get to know each other. Expertise could be something totally out of what we do. They could be NGO or company people in addition to academics, like speakers Mississippi State U had.

Ob3. Develop infrastructure (e.g., research groups, workshops, professional development opportunities) that can serve as a connector of scholars to varied projects (e.g., multi-state research projects, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and alternative information platforms), which facilitates the promotion of new collaborations, new methodologies, increased rigor, and impactful research pertaining to the three areas of technology, demographic changes, and sustainable consumption & production.

General ideas include:

For Ob3. we could focus on helping young scholars to get on NC research projects or even to initiate NC research projects.

We could have members from different NC research groups that accept new members to have a session to discuss their research groups and to recruit new people. New research project ideas could also be discussed.

We could also do seminars in between the ITAA sessions to get like-minded people together on distance-meeting platforms organized based on research interests/topics. The goal is to help new scholars to branch out to build their research agenda. To build strong multi-institutional relationships.

A special topic on how to build a multi-state research project.

Scarlett will draft a Google Doc and send to everyone for edits. We’ll also need to work on our expected impacts and outcomes. We should share any ideas we have with Scarlett after the meeting.

Any other business

Sonali, Scarlett, Juanjuan, Juyoung, Iva, and Das will work together to bring the existing NC research groups together (Chuanlan expressed her interest in joining this work group later). We need to schedule a time to meet to discuss the specifics.

The new NCCC65 project will start in Oct. 2021. The coming ITAA conference would be counted under the old project.

The ACRA group might be another good target for the consumer area.

The Sustainable Consumption International conference is also a good venue.

We could also try to identify a technology-focused conference.

Sonali and Iva are on a Sustainable Fashion Consumption working group and will present, which could be counted for this year.

Do not limit us to the NCCC65 group.

Selection of next meeting?

We’ll go back to Kansas City for our next meeting. Juanjuan will work with Jana on scheduling the meeting and connecting with local industries.

Leadership updates and elections

Elena is no longer with our group. Scarlett will stay on as the Chair until Oct. 2022. Juanjuan moves up to serve as the Vice Chair from Oct. 2020. Jana nominated and Cynthia seconded Ting Chi as the new Secretary. Ting is elected unanimously. His term starts Oct. 2020.

Accomplishments

3.1 ITAA Special Topics Session – November 2020 via Zoom   Title: Visible Thinking for a Data-Driven Experientail Ecosystem in a Disruptive Marketplace Presenter: Tinsley Merrill, Co-Founder/CRO of PAIRR   Moderators: Ting Chi, Washington State University, USA; Sonali Diddi, Colorado State University, USA; Elena Karpova, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA; Scarlett Wesley, University of Kentucky, USA; and Juanjuan Wu, University of Minnesota, USA   Description: Using a “visible thinking” structure, this workshop, organized by the NCCC65, dove deep into data-driven business approaches (push vs. pull). The workshop started with a presentation from Tinsley Merrill, the Co-Founder and CRO of PAIRR, a successful innovative marketing business. Using PAIRR as an inspirational source, participants of the workshop engaged in practicing visible thinking strategy at their virtual "tables" to further investigate examples of data-driven businesses and compare their approaches to PAIRR’s “pull” marketing approach. The workshop moderators lead participants through a semi-structured visible thinking exercise mainly focusing on the pull vs. push data-driven approaches.   Participants: This workshop had 40 registered participants.     3.2 Member Accomplishments   Hawley, J.
