Professions are in the discrimination business; it’s by design

But it’s essential for them to be inclusive if they want to remain legitimate in the 21st Century

Get your pen and paper ready because we’re going to be talking about why inclusion is necessary for professions, professions that get this wrong are going to be devastated

In todays show we discuss several things including:

  • The special contract between Professions and Society
  • Why Inclusive Professions matter to your personally
  • The urgent need for Inclusion in Professions and much more

Professions are in the discrimination business

“Professions are in the discrimination business. They are allowed to discriminate about who is in their profession in a way that is different to the rest of the labour market.. why?”

Professions have a special agreement with society 

“if you’ve completed the professionalisation project, you should be able to establish that what you do is so important to society that what you do deserves special treatment”

 Professions need to be inclusive to be legitimate in the 21st Century

“This means that professions need to be inclusive in order to meet their commitment to society in exchange for the privileges that we allow them to have”
