Description

This Element engages with fundamental questions concerning the future trajectory of professions as a distinct occupational category and of the formal organizations, which represent, employ or host professionals.

It begins with a literature review that identifies a functionalist, power and institutionalist lens for the study of professional occupations and organizations.

It then reviews a series of challenges which face the contemporary professions.

Finally, the Element explores contemporary developments in the worlds of professions applying three units of analysis: macro (professional occupations and their associations), meso (professional organizations) and micro (professional workers).
