Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims
Expert interviews play an important role in research practice, as independent, supplementary or explorative method. Since a basic article by Meuser and Nagel (1991), a number of methodological forms have developed, which have in common that the focus is not on the expert as a person, but as a carrier of specific knowledge (and specific relevance systems) in action or observation contexts. The work of Pfadenhauer in particular has focused on the role of researchers who conduct a “conversation at eye level” with the experts and who therefore also act as experts. Knowledge of experts is controversial in late modernity - sometimes there is talk of a crisis of experts or their knowledge. This circumstance is also reflected in the discussion of methods. In this course different approaches of expert interviews will be discussed. Knowledge, role structure and communication (as well as the necessary prerequisites) will be dealt with as three dimensions of the expert interview and reflected on the basis of practical exercises or in the context of the respective research projects of the seminar participants.
