Revisiting the Concept of a Profession
Research in Ethical Issues in Organizations, 2015
In this paper we are revisiting the concept of a profession. Definitions of the concept are readily encountered in the literature on professions and we have collected a sample of such definitions. From these samples we distil frequently occurring elements and ask whether a synthesis of these elements adequately explains the concept. We find that bringing the most frequently occurring elements together does not adequately address the reason (or purpose) that society differentiates professions from other occupations or activities -why there is a concept of 'profession' at all.
How does a short history of professions help us think about professionalisation today?
Modern western professions emerged from pre-modern European society. They were built on traditional functions such as healing, education, law, engineering, finance and other fields. But they are quite different from those ancient skills in many respects. Professions stand at the crossroads of practical implementation, often at a very large scale, of modern systems in each of these fields, applying science and technologies that require abstract knowledge and understanding of general principles. In modern society educated professions and professionals are now taken for granted as providing necessary skills. This paper takes a historical perspective, sketching pressures and opportunities in four half century segments across the 19 th and 20 th centuries in modern professional development. The paper briefly outlines some of the debates and developments in this creative response to the demands of modernising society. This invites consideration of changes in professional work today and in...
Professions today: self-criticism and reflections for the future
Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas
This article revisits my 1977 work The Rise of Professionalism, outlining what I now believe was wrong in my book and what I think may still be useful in order to move on to some ideas about the present situation. One of the predominant questions is whether we should completely merge the study of professions with that of knowledge-based occupations. And if we accept that the age of experts has entirely supplanted the former public life of trustee professions, what consequences derive? What trends will future research need to consider? These tentative and incomplete ideas should be read as calls for further research.

Positioning a Post-professional Approach to Studying Professions
The term post‑professional has had minor use outside sociology but has not been deployed within the sociology of professions. A post‑professional approach is argued to have major utility for studying professions, against the backdrop of the traditional trait and power approaches. First, a range of empirical changes in recent decades, such as the conjunction of professions and organisations, constitutes new data needing new theorisation. Second, inspection of changing theoretical configurations in these decades indicates the field has multiple contributory perspectives available. Finally, several key elements of a post‑professional perspective are outlined, indicating potential for elaboration of the idea.
