Mauricio,
Although it's a little on the naive side, you might enjoy a paper I wrote to
try to stimulate discussion about design research in Canada:
F.A. Salustri. 2009. Design research in Canada: a
perspective<http://deseng.ryerson.ca/%7Efil/I/Papers/DesResCDEN09.pdf>.
Proc CDEN 2009, Hamilton Ontario.
(the direct link to the paper is

Cheers.
