Team Work, Expertise and Professional Interaction
Ongoing Area of Research
This research area has involved the examination of interaction within organisations, institutions and the work place. I am particularly interested in the empirical examination of interaction within teams. Empirical studies of teams has shed light on the social organization of professional and lay identity, knowledge, claims making, people processing, institutional epistemology and the situated social organisation of policy, practice and ‘expertise’. These empirical concerns form part of the themes and issues explored in my monograph entitled Interaction in Multidisciplinary Teams (2003). A number of further papers have also explored team organisation within different settings that include navigation on board large ocean going vessels and CAQDAS coding practices within social science research teams.
