Based on the analysis of three examples from my professional practice, it will be necessary to question both the complex interrelationship between scholarly knowledge and action knowledge and, consequently, the difficult identification of the figure of the expert in the contemporary debate. Beyond the revealing of the social logics that constitute the scientific field and the relationships of domination that are at stake, new questions are emerging because we are witnessing both a significant transformation in the scientific field and in the practice of the research profession.
