Professions
Professions have been of interest to all the main schools of sociology, both in their own right and in relation to such topics as capitalism, the state, social stratification, patriarchy, power, and knowledge
Black Mafia, Loggies and Going for the Stars
The connection between a Public School education and the British Army officer corps has often been presented as an example of a self-perpetuating elite, with little by way of theoretical explanation. This paper aims to explicate these matters by reference to Bourdieu's concepts of habitus and field and to extend the empirical work of earlier studies by looking at the nature of army organization structure, the place of particular regiments within …

The Sociology of the Professions
In 1983 Richard Hall viewed the sociological study of the professions as near death. However, had Hall examined the recent British literature he would have come to a very different conclusion. Our survey shows that this is a very active area of research and theorizing and that there are important lessons in it for American students of the professions. First, unlike the American literature, work in Britain has not been dominated by fruitless effor…
Vital Lampada
The element of traditionalism in British culture has for a century and a half received strong support from the 'public school' system. A study of British army officer cadets shows that, despite public statements to the contrary, the proportion of cadets with a public school background has not changed substantially over the past 20 years. Indeed, the association between elite schools and elite regiments has become more pronounced. While the Britis…
Professional Formation
The thoughts of Briston and Kedsliel on my paper Professional Formation2 are welcome especially as they are accompanied by some research findings of their own. Their paper contains seven main headings, some of which contain sub-sections and this response is structured accordingly. Following their example I shall refer to my paper as KM and theirs as B and K
Social Closure and Occupational Registration
The concept of social closure has been employed by followers of Max Weber as part of an explanation of how members of a social stratum establish and maintain their status, and of how collective social mobility is achieved. Particular attention has been drawn to professional occupations and their registration under statute as an important part of the process of closure. This paper examines the case of the accountancy profession and shows how, afte…

Employee Involvement
This paper reports the results of an empirical analysis of certain dimensions of employee involvement. The subjects studied were employees in drawing offices in firms supplying components to the Birmingham motor industry.1 The analysis presented here is also intended to serve as a precursor to an investigation of the relationship between employee involvement and organizational structure, in which, in keeping with the thinking of Hinings et al ,,2…
