RC52 Sociology of Professional Groups (host committee) Language: English and Spanish
Processes of diversification have consistently increased the heterogeneity among professionals. Professional groups are now more diverse, with increasing rate of women, people with working class background and diverse ethnic origin. However, the sociological debate on professions have not sufficiently focused on the analysis of the consequences of this changes.
This session focuses on the process of producing gender, race, and difference in the daily practice of expert labour. How do professional groups face inequalities and their intersections? Are there experiences that challenge the groups to overcome disparities in a more transformative direction?
We invite contributions with theoretical and empirical perspective, adopting qualitative or quantitative approaches, as well as mixed-method. Particularly welcomed would be all the proposal that apply an analytical framework based on intersectionality, or crossing multiple dimensions of inequality.
