Education for the Professions in Times of Change
This book is a critical exploration of the place of professions and professionals across a range of fields, from p olicing to m idwifery, s ocial w ork to j ournalism, and the fi ctional pr ofessionals of literature. It arose from a concern about the denigration of professionals by populist politicians which in itself demonstrated the need for the kinds of trustworthy expertise for which professionals seek to be esteemed. I wrote a blog piece about my Place Model for the Good Project at Harvard and was delighted when one of the world’s most eminent educators, Professor Howard Gardner, wrote a preface to the piece. He has given permission for his preface and my blog piece to be used as a preface to this book which provides the reader with a clear contextual summary for this Special Issue.
