Dear Shital,
For articles and conference papers, you will find a treasury of material if you undertake a search for each of these terms using Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and Academia. While some of the material is located behind paywalls, much of it is accessible for direct download. Then you can use the digital resources of the York University library to locate material behind paywalls.
In addition to searches for "Speculative Design,” "Discursive Design,” and “Critical Design,” I suggest searching under the term “Design Fiction.”
You’ll find many unpublished doctoral theses under these terms in the British Library ETHOS database. Much of it is open access, and you can download a great deal easily:

The York University library probably has the ProQuest database of dissertations and theses. Searching for these terms in ProQuest will bring you several thousand completed dissertations and theses by people who focused one aspect or another of their doctoral research or MFA theses on these topics.
Here are some useful books:
