Rom: Navigating turbulence Professions in an era of multiple crises

24.06.2024

The RC52 Interim Meeting 2024 is a three-day conference, beginning on Monday, June 24th and ending on Wednesday, June 26th. A draft program is now available in different formats.

Theme

Over the last decade, numerous global challenges have emerged. From financial crises, unemployment, rising precarity, and retrenchment of public funding, through the COVID-19 pandemic and workplace changes including digitalization, to wars and violence, professionals have had to navigate turbulence. Nonetheless, professionals continue to play a critical role in interpreting change and defining and applying norms and rules, thereby giving meaning to social life. In the context of change, however, professionals experience profound alterations in their careers, roles, and tasks, which require them to reshape their own professional identities. On a global scale, processes of differentiation associated with growing inequalities can be observed across professions.

Aim

The 2024 Interim Meeting aims to address these critical issues from a range of theoretical and analytical perspectives, with the ultimate goal of furthering the debate on professions and professional groups.

Venue

The conference will take place at Sapienza University of Rome.

Local organizer

Hosted by Sapienza University of Rome, the conference is organized by Andrea Bellini, Senior Lecturer of Sociology of Economic and Labor Processes at the Department of Social and Economic Sciences (DiSSE).
