Abstract
⺠Understanding what a citizen is has not been a key object of inquiry in public involvement research. ⺠This paper, inspired by the observation of a Canadian science/policy network, provides an in-depth description of four different ways of embodying a citizen's role. âºExamining citizens' sociological concreteness shows that their “interests” cannot be separated from their values and knowledge. ⺠While public involvement participants can only disclose parts of the polity, their rich complexity needs to be acknowledged.
