Current debates about experts are often polarized and based on
mistaken assumptions, with expertise either defended or denigrated.
Making Sense of Expertise instead proposes a conceptual framework
for the study of expertise in order to facilitate a more nuanced
understanding of the role of expertise in contemporary society. Too
often different meanings of experts and expertise are implied
without making them explicit. Grundmann's approach to expertise is
based on a synthesis of approaches that exist in various fields of
knowledge. The book aims at dispelling much of the confusion by
offering a comprehensive and rigorous framework for the study of
expertise. A series of in-depth case studies drawn from
contemporary issues, including the climate crisis and the COVID-19
pandemic, provide the empirical basis of the author's comprehensive
approach. This thought-provoking book will be of great interests to
students, instructors and researchers in a range of fields in the
humanities, social sciences, and science and technology studies.
