Shaping the ‘New’ Academic Profession

Tensions and Contradictions in the Professionalisation of Academics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Higher Education in Portugal 1974-2009

Abstract

In this chapter we offer an interpretation of the evolution of the academic profession in Portugal, within the context of changes taking place in the national higher education system and institutions. In this interpretation we bring together different levels of analysis. It begins by reviewing the concept of ‘a profession’. It asks whether use of this term is appropriate for academia. Second, it examines the literature of the sociology of professions as a possible framework to interpret the changes, historical and sociological, that affected teachers in Portuguese higher education over the past few years. Three major processes of change are identified: segmentation, feminisation and commodification. The prospects this group of academic actors now face are scrutinised as are the potential consequences for the standing of this particular group inside academia and in society.
