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.
