Professions at the margins
Issue editors: Nick Butler, Shiona Chillas and Sara Louise Muhr

The contributions in this special issue of ephemera examine the relation
between professions and the margins. While the professions have become
well-established at the centre of public life over the last one hundred
and fifty years, they also bear an intrinsic relation to the periphery -
social, cultural and economic. The papers in this special issue explore
the way that occupational groups try (and sometimes fail) to gain
professional legitimacy in fields such as massage therapy and social
work, how managerialism has eroded collegial organization in the
teaching profession, and the types of subjectivity that are excluded
from discourses of professionalism. Taken together, the contributions
offer a series of critical perspectives on professions at the margins.
