It's definitely true that "historically" textile making wouldn't have been taught at a university. Sure looks like a real academic discipline to me though, at least as much as say, law (maritime law being another of Soton's specialities) or indeed electronics. It so happens our culture prizes knowledge of electronics very highly and the development of new textiles much less so, but it could be otherwise.
