  1. "Professors give highest prestige to people who in fact do as little teaching as possible. Such people emphasize research, a purely professional activity. To the extent that they do teach, they deal mainly with graduate students rather than undergraduates-preprofessionalized votaries rather than demanding dilettantes. ... In short, academics like other professionals are subject to a "regression" into professional purity."

  3. @snowpheonix I know from my own experience what the phrase means in the #British context - which is the relevant one, in this case. It tends not to mean #doctors, you're right about that - but usually it means #nurses or other #professions allied to #medicine, such as #occupational #therapists. It DOESN'T mean #insurance #companies.

  9. Professions often try to position themselves as both new and old at the same time: We have a long tradition, but we created something new based on it!

    Bowker's "Lest we Remember" on how nursing is positions as both a new and an old profession, by "organizational forgetting": ics.uci.edu/~gbowker/forget.ht

  17. La "science administrative" comme laboratoire des transformations du droit entre luttes de pouvoir universitaire et displinaire et légitimations de l'Etat (libéral puis fasciste) en Italie. Un bel article de Andrea Rapini et Pierre-Édouard Weill:

    👉 doi.org/10.1017/ahss.2024.29

"'Whoops' is a word that should never be said by some professions - pilots, racing car drivers, and hair colourists come immediately to mind but dentists also have to be up in the top five." — Richard Stubbs — — — #RichardStubbs #quote #quotes #whoops #professions #jobs #humor #humorous #funny #language

  20. [Thread] So, the following is from a presentation I gave at a Women and Gender Studies class I took in 2017 (as a Classics Major). I thought it was important to post here -- especially in this day and age where women's reproductive rights are being threatened. In some ways, we've taken a step backward as time has gone on...

  22. More on the Q. of #skills-based vs. qualification-based employment:

    There remains a significant but falling premium for UK #graduates, in part be due to access to the #professions whose degree requirements remain pretty robust.

    However, its also worth noting that non-degree employment seems to be shifting into high(er) skills, albeit at a gradual rate (replacing 'over-qualified' graduates?).

    Does a slow shift to highly skilled non-degree holders indicate the success of #apprenticeships?

  24. #Employers increasingly realise that #workingfromhome & #hybridworking are valued by potential applicants for jobs & this is now reflected in the frequency that such terms appear in job adverts.

    Sarah O'Connor (FT) then draws an interesting conclusion: its those #professions where #WFH is not really feasible that seem to have become most militant about pay & conditions;

    those #workers able to adopt hybrid working see it as an extra non-monetary benefit & so are less militant on #wages (?)

  25. Research on the US labour market by the Brookings Institute suggests that since the #pandemic, many #workers having re-evaluated their #worklifebalance are starting to demand that employers fit round the staff's needs not the other way round....

    How far does this shift reach?

    For those in the #gigeconomy & in other forms of precarious work, the power of the #professions to makes such demands must seem like a pipe dream...

    elsewhere such a request would likely result in no work at all

  26. The #Wisdom of #Psychopaths
    artofmanliness.com/character/b
    Kevin first defines what makes psychopaths, psychopaths, and how they differ from #sociopaths. He describes how #psychopathic traits can be particularly useful in some professions and which #professions attract the most psychopaths. In the second half of our conversation, Kevin lays out his argument for why he thinks the #ApostlePaul was a psychopath and how that’s actually what made him such an effective #evangelist.
