This book offers an important and timely critique of expertise,
showing how it is a 'keyword' shaped by social, historical, and
political debates about what counts as knowledge and truth, and who
counts as experts. Using teacher expertise as an illustrative case,
Jessica Gerrard and Jessica Holloway reflect on recent events,
including COVID-19 and the climate crisis, to examine how expertise
is never neutral, objective, or fixed. They argue that 'getting
political' is not just an inevitable part of teacher expertise, but
a necessary basis of any claim to it. Across the chapters,
Expertise explores how expertise is socially constructed in
relation to governance, uses of data and evidence, understandings
of ignorance and the unknown, and - ultimately - power. Using
contemporary and historical examples from international contexts,
the authors address the political positioning of expertise and how
this creates boundaries between who is an expert and who is not,
and what is (and is not) expertise. Gerrard and Holloway argue that
ongoing policy debates about teacher expertise cannot be resolved
by neutral definitions of 'good teaching'. Rather, expertise is
unavoidably political in its expression.
