简短的“专家”或“精英”面试通常被认为是受访者与研究人员分享专业知识的场合。本文借鉴了对一位超市食品安全经理的采访，探讨了当“专家”受访者对讨论中的问题知之甚少时，地理学家可能会做出什么反应。报告认为，这些时刻会扰乱受访者被描述为被动的知识提供者或精心计算的面试账户的共同构造者的说法，它暗示，在挑战地理学家关于专业知识的假设时，他们可以揭示新的研究途径，并对知识的地理分布和问责政治产生新的见解。
Short Abstract‘Expert’ or ‘elite’ interviews are often taken to be occasions when an interviewee shares specialist knowledge with a researcher. Drawing on an interview with a supermarket food safety manager, this paper explores what geographers might make of moments when ‘expert’ interviewees turn out to know little about the matters under discussion. Arguing that such moments unsettle depictions of interviewees as passive providers of knowledge or calculating co‐constructors of interview accounts, it suggests that in challenging geographers' assumptions about expertise they can disclose new avenues of research and yield novel insights into the geographies of knowledge and the politics of accountability.
