Dear Matthew:

Your project sounds fascinating, but to be honest this will take you far a
field from orthodox Habermasians.

I would strongly encourage you to read Axel Honneth, first and foremost, in
particular his Struggle for Recognition, and collected essays in the SUNY
series edited by Dennis Schmidt. Then read Maeve Cooke's outstanding study
of Habermas's pragmatics. I would read David Ingram, Patricia Huntington,
and Nancy Fraser, especially the last with respect to the notion of public
sphere. I would also read Fred Dallmayr's book Between Frankfurt and
Freiburg, which has some fascinating essays on Habermas.

I would also read the scattered essays by Barbara Fultner, who has been
reading Habermas and Bulter in tandem. 

Finally, I would read Johanna Meehan's edited volume Feminists Read Habermas

Vague, but some clues...I would want to hear more concrete details so that
I can zoom in my suggestions. Best of lucks, and one can never be too late
to philosophy, it is philosophy which is always too late (remember Hegel's
owl):-]
