The way people perceive experts based on their daily experience (publics' views of experts) are essential in discussing the relationship between experts and citizens. However, previous studies have insufficiently focused on the publics' views of experts, limiting methodologies to standardized questionnaires or interviews. The authors introduce “Rethinking ‘experts’” addressing how to discriminate and engage with experts. The practice, grounded in the situation of “expert” involvement during the COVID-19 crisis, facilitated participants' exploration of the topic with consideration for both the publics' context and scholarly discussion in the humanities and social sciences. Analyzing participants' responses revealed insights for academic discussion based on specific circumstances and experience under COVID-19 crisis and those absent in the discussion. Notably, their view of experts was suggestive of experts in both natural and humanities-social science disciplines. Furthermore, the multiple relativizations framework would be effective for advancing participants' inquiries. The authors' practice and analysis hold promise as a novel framework for science communication.
