Theorizing Professional Changes and Futures

Wednesday, 13 July 2016: 10:45-12:15
Location: Hörsaal 17 (Juridicum)
RC52 Sociology of Professional Groups (host committee)

Language: English

Change is a constant feature of professional, knowledge-based, service-sector work. This session invites abstracts which consider alternative existing or new theoretical and conceptual interpretations of professional work and professionalism in current and possible future contexts. New questions are being asked about professions and professionalism and some established theories seem less relevant in different time periods, policy contexts, areas and geographical regions. Also new knowledge-based occupations develop, which pose new questions and challenges to and for theories of professionalism. 
We look forward to receiving abstract proposals which support and/or challenge existing theories and interpretations and welcome new interpretations and suggestions of new concepts for professions and professionalism in a globalizing world.
