Ambassador of the Month: Dr. Suman Mundkur<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr.<\/span> Suman Mundkur is a Researcher.Life Ambassador, <\/span>Research Consultant\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>F<\/span><\/span>ounder of Academic Research Consultancy Services. Last year, she retired as Associate Professor, Textiles and Apparel Designing, SNDT Women\u2019s University after 29 years of teaching and research. She holds a PhD in Home Science from the\u00a0<\/span>Department of Textiles and Fashion Technology, Nirmala\u00a0<\/span>Niketan<\/span>, Mumbai University. <\/span>Dr.<\/span>\u00a0M<\/span>undkur published her first book<\/span> earlier this year.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Could you tell us a little about your research?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a\u00a0professor from the Home Science field, my specialization was in Textiles and Apparel Designing.\u00a0For\u00a029\u00a0years\u00a0I taught\u00a0how textiles are made: the\u00a0processing of fabrics, coloration, designing,\u00a0production; merchandising,\u00a0and marketing of apparel. But the heart of my research was\u00a0managing clothing waste – what happens to the clothes and what can be done to reuse and recycle for sustainable consumption. “Sourcing and Reuse of Post-consumer Clothing Waste for Technical Textile Products” was the title of my\u00a0Ph.D.\u00a0Research. It lead me to understand the current practices in\u00a0the disposal and reuse in Indian households, the products that are made to advance the life of the clothes,\u00a0and the possible products that can be designed, developed and accessed for consumer acceptance and sale.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Discarded clothes collected\u00a0through\u00a0a unique door-to-door collection system in India through communities or recyclers called ‘Bhandivale’ opened up new insights\u00a0that\u00a0were\u00a0much appreciated when presented at International Conferences in India and abroad. Tracing the journey of pre-owned clothes from homes from different nations, to clarify the ‘Rag Route’ was\u00a0a\u00a0revelation of how India had turned into a ‘recycling\u00a0hub’ over the decades since Independence. Research in the level of support from the\u00a0government,\u00a0non-government organizations and various stakeholders in the trade of ‘second-hand clothes’ and \u2018rags’ led to studying what happens at the\u00a0grassroots\u00a0level. Thousands of people employed for a livelihood in collecting, sorting, wasting, mending, dyeing, ironing, etc. to make it ready for resale. Traditionally values of ‘Vastra-daan’ or donation of clothes being imbibed in Indian culture, during the course of research, it was rarely seen that clothes go into the trash. Whether it was during natural calamities or otherwise, clothes are passed on to those in need, those who will accept,\u00a0and those\u00a0who will rent or resell. Technical textiles is a field of textile application other than Apparel and Home Textiles.<\/span> Development of technical textile nonwoven materials for sound\u00a0<\/span>absorption<\/span>, thermal insulation, and packaging\u00a0<\/span>was<\/span>\u00a0the outcome of the\u00a0<\/span>Ph.D.<\/span>\u00a0research.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How did you get interested in this field?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the third child in the family, I grew up accepting hand-me-downs with pleasure. In adulthood, it was curiosity that led me to research this topic of recycling textiles, in particular clothing.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are you currently working on now?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am currently working on h<\/span>and-made paper made from post-consumer clothing waste of cotton origin. My other ongoing projects are on ‘Plus Size Fashion’; ‘Natural Dyes on Wool’; ‘Impact of Social Media on Shopping\u00a0<\/span>behavior<\/span>‘ and ‘Visual Research’.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Why did you decide to become a\u00a0Researcher.Life\u00a0Ambassador?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Being an Associate Professor, I had seen the struggles of my students as\u00a0<\/span>f<\/span>irs<\/span>t-time r<\/span>esearchers. Being a\u00a0<\/span>late-career<\/span>\u00a0researcher myself, I had faced challenges that I did not want others to face. I wanted to help other researchers by guiding, helping and motivating them.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What is the best part about working in research?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ability to work with researchers from various disciplines that\u00a0<\/span>helps keep me updated<\/span>\u00a0on other\u00a0<\/span>subjects. It keeps the mind in a lifelong learning-mode<\/span>!\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And the most challenging part about working in research?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u00a0<\/span>n<\/span>eeds time, concentration, and dedication. It is difficult to focus on many other aspects of life.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the one thing you want people to know about\u00a0Researcher.Life?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You are supported well. You know where to look for help.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How has\u00a0Researcher.Life\u00a0Ambassador Program helped you in empowering the research community?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a\u00a0<\/span>Researcher.Life<\/span>\u00a0Ambassador<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0I have been able to connect with other researchers, understand the problems faced by the young researchers in various disciplines. R<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Voice has helped\u00a0<\/span>me\u00a0<\/span>understand these aspects better. The\u00a0<\/span>e<\/span>vents that I hav<\/span>e participated and conducted have<\/span>\u00a0given me a sense of belonging to the CACTUS family. Interaction with the CEO was an encouraging and motivating experience. It not only oriented us to the\u00a0<\/span>c<\/span>ompany and its vision and mission,\u00a0<\/span>but it also<\/span>\u00a0gave us the direction to join hands and move ahead with other like-minded researchers.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Zeroing In On\u00a0<\/span>A<\/span>\u00a0Research Topic: Resources and Strateg<\/span>ies of Selecting, Narrowing down – A G<\/span>uide for First-time Researchers<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0was the\u00a0<\/span>first book I wrote and l<\/span>aunched on 19th July 2021. In Chapter 4,\u00a0<\/span>t<\/span>he Resources section gave a detailed account\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>Researcher.Life<\/span>\u00a0eco-system that will help\u00a0<\/span>kick-start<\/span>\u00a0research at any stage in the\u00a0<\/span>academic<\/span>\u00a0hierarchy. I could reach out to over 1000 attendees orienting them on\u00a0<\/span>Researcher.Life<\/span>\u00a0p<\/span>roducts on Facebook Live for a s<\/span>ession on\u00a0<\/span><\/span>‘How to Write a Review Paper: A Guide for\u00a0<\/span>Ph.D<\/span>\u00a0Scholars’<\/span><\/span><\/a>. Partnering with another\u00a0<\/span>Researcher.Life<\/span>\u00a0Ambassador, I could conduct a panel d<\/span>iscussion on\u00a0<\/span><\/span>“Ethical Guidelines in Research and Publishing<\/span><\/span><\/a>” along with an\u00a0<\/span>eminent panel of e<\/span>xperts from various fields.\u00a0<\/span>An interview<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with the\u00a0<\/span>Researcher.Life<\/span>\u00a0Team gave me an opportunity to express how I benefited from being\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Researcher.Life<\/span>\u00a0Ambassador and how\u00a0<\/span>Researcher.Life<\/span>\u00a0can benefit from me.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0a sure win-win! Networking with other\u00a0<\/span>Researcher<\/span>.Life<\/span>\u00a0Ambassadors has been helping widen my horizon.\u00a0<\/span>Researcher.Life<\/span>\u00a0has given me a position and status that I feel responsible for.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
