CfP ISA RC52 | Navigating turbulence: Professions in an era of multiple crises

Over the last decade, numerous global challenges have emerged. From financial crises, unemployment,
rising precarity, and retrenchment of public funding through the COVID-19 pandemic and workplace changes,
including digitalization, to wars and violence, professionals have had to navigate turbulence. Nonetheless,
professionals continue to play a critical role in interpreting change and defining and applying norms and rules, thereby giving meaning to social life. In the context of change, however, professionals experience
profound alterations in their careers, roles, and tasks, which require them to reshape their own professional
identities. On a global scale, processes of differentiation associated with growing inequalities can be observed across professions.

The 2024 Interim Meeting (24-26 June, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome), aims to address these critical issues from a range of theoretical and analytical perspectives, with the ultimate goal of furthering the debate on professions and professional groups (HERE more info about the conference).
