*Cori Hayden's draft paper , "What is the collective (for)? Bioscience, exchange, and the politics of benefit-sharing"
-http://www.yale.edu/agrarianstudies/papers/05collective.pdf. Includes a paragraph explaining how Latour draws upon Dewey's pragmatism. Might be useful just to help shape your thoughts:
"To draw out a different set of implications for the questions of collectivization at work through benefit-sharing, I want to gesture towards a rather different notion of the collective, one that I draw (advisedly) from Bruno Latour in his recent efforts to lay out his theory of a democracy
that speaks not just for humans but for nature and non-humans..5 While I am not working
towards a Latourian parliament of things, what is of use to me are the theoretical legacies
from which he draws, and the idiom of collecting to which they lead. Invoking the more
open-ended notion of a sociology of “association” drawn from Gabriel Tarde as well as
the pragmatism of John Dewey, Latour defines his collective thus: “In spite of its use in
the singular, the term refers not to an already-established unit but to a procedure for
collecting associations …” (2004: 238, emphasis added). For Latour (or more to the
point, for Tarde and Dewey), the social and the public are idioms for thinking about
collectives that come into being in response to particular kinds of conditions, or in
Dewey’s sense, to shared “matters of concern“ (see Dewey 1927; Latour 2004).
It is with such contingency in mind that I would propose that we think about
benefit-sharing as a process of cutting collectives in a second way. That is, I do not
simply mean chopping up an existing whole (my better analytic instincts notwithstanding,
I am loathe to dismiss that argument outright), but literally making or constituting
collective entities too; that is, drawing people into association bygathering them (well,
adequately, ethically) into the research process."
*What seems to be an online discussion/seminar, entitled "Links to Pragmatism and Symbolic interactionism," that makes several references to Dewey and periodical references to Latour. This site is pretty difficult to follow, so perhaps we can take a look at it together and decide if it's worth going through.

Highlight of abstract:
"Through looking at classification systems and standards, we will move towards an understanding of the stuff which makes up the networks of actor network theory. Latour, Callon and others within the actor-network approach (referred to in Latour's Reassembling the Social) have developed an array of concepts in order to describe the development and operation of technoscience. Their valuable concepts include: regimes of delegation; the centrality of mediation; and the position that nature and society are not causes but consequences of human scientific and technical work. The position that a fact may be seen as a consequence, and not as an antecedent, is axiomatic to the American pragmatist approach as well, particularly in the work of John Dewey (e.g., Dewey, 1929)."

-Abstract: http://www.springerlink.com/content/941px218m3226543/
Highlight: "Based on ideas from John Dewey and Bruno Latour I suggest a different way to understand the distinction between ‘scientific’ and ‘everyday’ knowledge. Against this background I argue that the University can contribute towards the democratisation of knowledge if it articulates the difference between scientific and everyday knowledge in non-epistemological terms."
