Well we already have this for research in general. Science and Technology Studies, philosophy of science, philosophy of social science, sociology of knowledge, sociology of scientific knowledge, etc, etc. Design research already uses much of these fields, as it is pretty much hard to avoid them if you are doing research. That doesn't stop people from ignoring the scholarship in many of the fields, but ehh, that's what we have to do as academics to actually get any work done.
