Research Activity and Main Areas
The Research Activity offered at JD Educational Trust – JD Institute of Fashion Technology is grounded in practice which includes field-work conducted by faculty, students- contextual findings into products, spaces, services and processes.
Research is encouraged in the form of publications, exhibitions, craft and course documentation. The publications reflect the diverse Indian culture and socio-economic perspectives on research in design, practice and education.
We encourage our students and faculty members to actively participate in International and National conferences and indulge in thought-provoking conversations essential for creating new knowledge in design education. Apart from knowledge sharing we also present platforms for collaborative research projects with government and private associations. Archiving is another way for us to help students and faculty create a wide database of information that is beneficial to retain information pertaining to old crafts, arts, textiles and architecture. In doing so we encourage ways to develop textiles, crafts and restoration of old architectural forms of India.
We also organise an annual inter-disciplinary conference bringing together practitioners, leaders and learners together, fusing ideas, frameworks and practices and theories in design.
Faculty development program is another focus area wherein we incorporate the research methods undertaken during the discourse into curriculum planning.
