Summary:
"
Self-regulation
has long been at the core of sociological understandings of what it means to be a 'profession.' However, the historical processes resulting in the formation of self-regulating
professions
have not been well-understood. In
Regulating
Professions
, Tracey L. Adams explores the
emergence
of self-regulating
professions
in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia from Confederation to 1940. Adams in-depth research reveals the intriguing backstory of those occupations deemed worthy to regulate, such as medicine, law, dentistry, and land surveying, and how they were regulated. Adams evaluates sociological explanations for professionalization and
professional
regulation by analysing their applicability to the
Canadian
experience of
professional
regulation, and especially the role played by state actors. By considering the role of both state actors and
professional
leaders in making
professions
in Canada, Adams provides a clearer picture of profession creation and illuminates how important they have been in creating
Canadian
institutions and building
Canadian
society."--From publisher.
