Description
Summary:This article seeks to inquire into the way in which a sociologist’s conditions for accessing organizations may in turn largely condition the knowledge the sociologist may produce regarding their day-to-day operations. Key to this is the relationship the sociologist is able to build with the stakeholders in the organization the modus operandi of which he or she is seeking to better understand. In order to do so, in this article, I revisit issues pertaining to various segments of field work carried out within the WHO, primarily but not solely, within the framework of a broader survey on Response-to-Epidemic mechanisms in Switzerland, Japan and the U.S. In re-reading the survey logbooks and interview transcripts, what surfaces is that some facts, positions taken, things said in confidence, collected from privileged sources, were often put aside, downplayed or even sugar-coated.
