The first two items address some of the issues you take up in your
paper - the last is broader, but relevant to the role of design in the
university.

Questions about what design is, and whether design should have a place
in education, are ultimately questions about what a University is. In
this paper, I argue that 'design' which belongs to educational
curriculums must be researched inclusively. Such inclusive design
research will yield a science of design that crosses into the
disciplines of ethics and of theology, and would imply that the latter
should have a place in the University curriculum.
