Pat Borer，一位标志性的绿色建筑师（Mason 2011），拒绝了参加“可持续发展转型实践”研讨会的邀请，他引用了他对参加该系列中以前的研讨会的不满。帕特强调的一个问题是学者使用专业语言，他在演讲中说：“我确实指出，我很少在建筑工地上使用'霸权'和'范式'，但我将来会尝试。专业语言的使用和误用显然是学者和从业者都应该意识到的，但在我们承认这是一个问题和我们改变它的实践之间存在差距。我们仍然需要对我们使用的语言进行反思：用途：解释不是屈尊俯就。学术界长期以来一直在争论使用复杂语言来理解复杂问题的必要性（或其他）。学术界并不是唯一使用专业语言的地方通常有一种行业或领域的语言或者拥有专业观众。复杂语言是无需冗长解释的交流的缩写，这就是为什么学术界的机构期望嵌入在对理论上严格且复杂的语言出版物的需求中（见Pain、Kesby和Askins 2010）。简化我们使用的语言本身并不会使我们希望分享的知识更有用。这里有一个更大的问题需要进一步关注，特别是在所谓的激进地理学中。在这里，我们探讨三个问题：知识的类型;参与的经济学;和权力的机制。帕特的观察本身就很中肯，有助于挖掘更深层次的认识问题（是的，我们确实意识到使用另一个在建筑工地上很少听到的术语的讽刺意味！）。根据定义，像帕特这样的从业者需要在实践中有用的知识。在他的案例中，绿色建筑需要设计、建造、运营和维护;居住者需要学习适当的行为，以优化性能、实现舒适度等。然而，学者们通常希望对设计、实践和行为进行批评。虽然这种批评的意图可能是建设性的，但从业者的知识可能会受到威胁或破坏。似乎即使是我们这些同情这些概念的人，
Declining an invitation to take part in a seminar on “the practices of sustainability transitions”, Pat Borer, an iconic green architect (Mason 2011), cited his dissatisfaction with participation in a previous seminar in the series. One issue Pat highlighted was academics’ use of specialist language, stating that in his presentation:“I did point out that I rarely get to use ‘hegemony’and ‘paradigm’on building sites—but that I shall try in future”. The use and misuse of specialist language is clearly something which both academics and practitioners should be aware of, but there is a gap between our acknowledgement of it as a problem and our practice in changing it. We still need to be reflexive about the language we use: explanation is not condescension. Academics have long argued over the necessity (or otherwise) of using complex language in order to understand complex problems. And academia is not alone in using specialist language—there is often a language of a trade or field—or in having a specialist audience. Complex language is a shorthand for communicating without the need for lengthy explanation and that is why the institutional expectation of academia is embedded in the need for theoretically rigorous and complex language publications (see Pain, Kesby and Askins 2010). Simplifying the language we use does not in itself make the knowledge we wish to share more useful. There is a bigger issue here which needs further attention, especially in so-called radical geography. Here we explore three issues: types of knowledge; the economics of participation; and the mechanisms of power. Pat’s observation, pertinent in itself, serves to exhume deeper epistemic concerns (and, yes, we do realise the irony of using another term seldom heard on building sites!). By definition practitioners like Pat require knowledges that are useful in practice. In his case, green buildings need to be designed, built, operated and maintained; occupants need to learn behaviours appropriate to optimising performance, achieving comfort, and so on. Academics, however, are most often looking to critique designs, practices and behaviours. Although the intention of such critiques may be constructive, practitioner knowledges can be threatened or undermined. It seems even those of us who are sympathetic to the concepts still have
