Listen "67: Professions & Professionalism -- Andrew Abbott (Part 2)"

Episode Synopsis

Andrew Abbott invited us to think more systemically about the interdependencies and how professions compete with each other over "jurisdictions," claims of ownership and responsibility over expert knowledge and its applications. So we conclude this episode with a review of one of Abbott's case studies -- that of the information professions (e.g., librarian, statistician, computer programmer) -- and consider implications for professions today.
