as i read through your definitions and answers to the questions that i set – i get the sense that your research will enable you to evolve your thinking here and to specifically relate it to design education.

Because that is kind of the big thing here – the relationship between
design
communication/graphic design
research
design research
design as research
design education
design education and resarch
design practice and design education

and then there are the roles and the people – the designer, the design researcher and the design educator…

i am looking forward to seeing how this all comes togethe.
