Professions and professionalism from a gendered perspective in the Global North and the Global South
This editorial introduces the special issue by reframing professions as gendered and intersectional sites where professional legitimacy is sought under unequal conditions. Building on the sociology of professions, feminist scholarship, and intersectional theory, it defines professional legitimacy as a relational status granted within specific institutional, organizational, and geopolitical settings. The main argument is that professional legitima…
Ideal worker norms and narrative contradictions in a Big4 consulting firm
This article investigates how ideal worker norms were sustained and reshaped in a Big4 consulting firm during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on 25 longitudinal narrative interviews – conducted across three waves between 2020 and 2021 with partners, directors, managers, and analysts – the study examines how organizational actors experienced the shift to remote and hybrid work arrangements. While the firm’s ‘official message’ emphasized flexibility…
Collectivising services

The study explores diverse forms of servicing based on the integration of various types of goods provided and logics of action. Specifically, it focuses on ‘strate…
Rileggere “Class Counts” di Erik Olin Wright
Two years after Erik Olin Wright’s death, this article rereads one of his most famous works, Class Counts. This book, published in 1997, can be considered at the same time a contemporary classic of scientific Marxism and the manifest of neo-Marxist class analysis. The objectives of the article are manifold. Firstly, it contextualizes the author’s theoretical contribution in his biography, emphasizing his complicated relationship with sociology as…
Heterogeneity Among Professions and Professionals
The society in which we are currently immersed is the result of a long-period transformation that sociologists have framed under the concept of post-industrial society. Some of the main characteristics identified by this concept, such as the importance of knowledge as a factor of production, the rising centrality of expert labor and the progressive dematerialization of professional activities However, we argue that the transformation towards a po…
The Challenging Integration Paths of Migrant Health Professionals
This article examines the role of institutional factors in shaping the integration paths of migrant health professionals. For this purpose, it draws on two studies focusing on Filipino and Indian nurses working in the UK, which rely on quantitative and qualitative methods, including a web survey and semi-structured interviews. The analysis shows that inequalities have arisen from differentiation processes induced by changes in the institutional s…
Landscape conflicts and the making of contemporary European societies
This article reflects on the ways “landscape conflicts” are likely to shape contemporary European societies. Based on an interview with Olaf Kühne, a German geographer with a strong background in sociology, the article first outlines the underlying theoretical framework, drawing on social constructivism and Dahrendorf’s conflict theory. The load-bearing axis is the idea that landscape is a social construction and, as such, constitutes a source of…
