SESSION 7 Professions without Borders: 'Mission Impossible' or the Future?
Organizers:
Emmanuele Pavolini, University of Macerata, Italy
Ellen Kuhlmann, TU University Dortmund, Germany
Different trends are at work in the professional sector. We can observe an expansion of professional boundaries within a single discipline or new forms of substitution between disciplines, but also a diffusion of hybrids, team-workers, and border-crossers. This session focuses on which are the most likely scenarios for the future of professions. Are there 'best practice' examples of interdisciplinary professional work-teams, of transdisciplinary education and training, of new emergent professions 'in-between' professional groups, and of new more inclusive forms of professionalism? What are the challenges of a move towards borderless professions? What are the benefits and for whom? Are there signs of the remaking of traditional boundaries and barriers between professions? We invite papers that address these issues in cross-country comparative or transdisciplinary perspective, but will also consider in-depth research in a single field or country.
