The Rise of Professional Society lays out a stimulating and controversial framework for the study of British society, challenging accepted paradigms based on class analysis. Perkins argues that the ...non-capitalist "professional class" represents a new principle of social organization based on trained expertise and meritocracy, a "forgotten middle class" conveniently overlooked by classical social theorists.

The result was Sandy’s 1968 paper, “The Psychological Effects of Stillbirths on Women and Their Doctors,” published by the Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners. Fittingly, he went on ...to play a prominent role in organising Balint groups, also known as GP seminars, at the Tavistock Clinic, developing GPs’ expertise at managing and understanding their emotional interaction with patients.

Concerned about the preservation of and access to documentary heritage, UNESCO established the Memory of the World program in 1992. As an operational program without formal legal basis, the program ...has involved an international advisory committee (IAC) of 14 experts appointed by the director- general. In its early years, the program, focused on documents at risk, set an ambitious agenda, addressing this priority and assessing emerging technologies for digitizing, disseminating, and reconstituting dispersed libraries and fonds in various media. Within a few years, the program changed direction and established an international register that emphasized globally significant materials. Through two and a half decades, the Memory of the World program has held a series of international conferences and has influenced the adoption of several key UNESCO policy instruments. In 2017, the advisory committee launched a comprehensive review, seeking to engage UNESCO in realizing the concept of “memory of the world.” This article traces the evolution of the program, analyzing the interactions among the professions, the UNESCO secretariat, and more recently, diplomats. The earnest advice of the IAC has consistently been dominated by the themes of resources, visibility, and unmet potential. Intense political interest in decisions about including certain materials in the Register has highlighted the continuing power of the record in international issues. The Memory of the World program must now manage both professional and governmental interests – a balance normally established in UNESCO’s structures by means of a formal convention adopted by member states.
From Latin humanists to popular writers, Italian Renaissance culture spawned a lively debate on vocational choice and the nature of profession. InThe Culture of Profession in Late Renaissance Italy, ...George W. McClure examines the turn this debate took in the second half of the Renaissance, when the learned 'praise and rebuke' of profession began to be complemented with more popular forms of discourse, and when less learned vocations made their voice heard.
Focusing primarily on sources assembled and published in the sixteenth century, McClure's study explores professional themes in comic, festive, and popular print culture. A pivotal figure is Tomaso Garzoni, a monk whose popular encyclopedia,Universal Piazza of all the Professions of the World, was published in 1585. A funnel for earlier traditions and an influence on later ones, this massive compendium treated over 150 categories of profession - juxtaposing the world of philosophers and poets, lawyers and physicians, merchants and artisans, teachers and printers, cooks and chimneysweeps, prostitutes and procurers. If the conventional view is that Italian Renaissance society generally grew more aristocratic in the later period, this and other sources reveal a professional ethos more democratic in nature and bespeak the full cultural discovery of the middling and lowly professions in the late Renaissance.
This impressive and original study is one of the first books to combine mainstream sociology with feminism in exploring the subject of the professions and power.This is an important addition to the ...corpus of feminist scholarship... It provides fresh insights into the way in which male power has been used to limit the employment aspirations of women in the middle classes. - Rosemary Crompton, University of Kent
