European welfare institutions such as education and health care are
restructuring their organisations in terms of decentralisation,
deregulation, privatization and so forth. As a consequence
professional positions and demands on professional competencies in
these institutions are in transition. At the same time European
societies are changing in different ways, e.g. in terms of a
"knowledge society" as well as in demographic and cultural changes.
Professionals such as teachers and nurses are meeting such changes
in their work with students and clients. Thus, there is a need to
study these transitions and changes. Here we are doing this from a
"bottom-up" perspective where we are comparing experiences in
different institutional and national contexts. This study combines
two kinds of narrative research; a study of the systemic narratives
produced by governments who are restructuring educational systems
and the life history narratives of those professionals working
within those systems and their perspectives on ongoing
restructuring.
