"Design Research" was actually my favorite of all the workshops. I think that you'd be surprised by what you can accomplish even with a limited budget and timetable. I use at least some of the techniques discussed on that day all the time. The strongest part that I found applicable to my day-to-day activities was the discussion of how to formulate research questions and conduct interviews. I use this all the time when doing discovery work and user validation.
I think that it would be impossible to cover theory in such a short span of time. To study it would require a great deal of reading and to make it meaningful, class discussions and writing (esp. considering the wide variety of disciplines whose ideas we employ). I think you'd be better off seeking out a more formal academic setting for that kind of instruction. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
