Abstract
Interdisciplinary design approaches have become vital in Graphic Design teaching, research, and scholarly activities in U.S. higher education. The objectives of this study are to articulate and disseminate knowledge based on my reflections on graphic design teaching, and collaborative research and scholarly activities the U.S. higher education between 2014 and 2024. Interdisciplinary design approaches can be employed by individuals and/or a team who possess different disciplines to investigate complex design situations and problems to generate advanced knowledge which is not possible to accomplish in a single discipline as well as create positive and sustainable solutions for stakeholders and participant communities. The methodologies were a mixed-methods research approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative methods in a single study and series of case studies. This involves multiple research methods for data collections, analysis, and evaluations on the effectiveness of teaching, research and scholarly activities. In this paper, multiple case studies of graphic design teaching, research, and scholarly activities are presented. Reflections and discussions of each case study are included.
