Expertise formation through expert-community interaction
- Title
- Expertise formation through expert-community interaction
- Description
- The expert acts in a specific situation within a social network of power relations with clients, colleagues, regulatory agencies, and so on, and competes within that field for symbolic capital that will affect his or her ongoing and future status within such fields. That is, the decisions and recommendations made are not just an outcome of the problem situation and the expert’s dispositions through his or her habitus, but also reflect the interaction of habitus and field, in particular, the impact upon the expert’s symbolic capital of the possible outcomes. The solution of any particular problem is situated within the processes of developing the overall competence of the community as a social network.
