The Sociology of the Professions

The compilation by Robert Dingwall and Philip Lewis features diverse chapters from leading theorists and researchers in the sociology of professions, marking a significant contribution since its 1983 release. Unlike typical studies focused on a single occupation, this collection explores the concept and practice of professions across various fields, influencing scholars and professionals alike. Its interdisciplinary approach provides valuable insights into the nature of professional work and the dynamics within different occupational sectors.
