About this product
Product Information
PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY CRISIS addresses the problem of *identity dissonance*, which explains why people from less privileged backgrounds often underperform at professional schools, and thus in their professional careers. The book explores the experiences of students suffering from identity dissonance in different professional school settings, and proposes ways to counter the reinscription of patterns of social stratification at professional schools.

Reviews
In this brilliantly observed study of student careers in two professional schools--one preparing students for law, the other for social work--Carrie Yang Costello reveals ways in which schools train students to fit into a wider system of inequality. Buildings, lunch foods and classroom dress come to seem more important--and books and grades less important--to professional identity than we might have thought. Costello gives us nothing less than a new way of seeing. --Arlie Russell Hochschild, the author ofThe Time BindandThe Commercialization of Intimate Life, I have always thought that the theory of cognitive dissonance was among the richest and most suggestive, and always wondered why no one had applied it to more sociological and institutional processes. Cindy Costello has, and to marvelous effect, as she explores how two different groups of professional students construct both professional and personal identities. --Michael Kimmel, SUNY at Stony Brook, Costello (Univ. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) is a broadly trained sociologist diving into an area of hot controversy: why women and minorities appear less likely than white males to make a smooth transition through graduate school and into the professions. Explanations for this phenomenon have ranged from simple discrimination to simple, plain old-fashioned merit. The author, to her credit, rejects all simplistic answers. Through the use of a variety of qualitative research methods, she explores the professional identity formation of students in professional schools. She focuses exclusively on students attending the schools of law and social work at University of California, Berkeley. The book offers a rare exploration of the role professional schools play in the socialization and social stratification of the professions. It explores cultural identity, instructional methods, professor/peer relationships, and identity consonance and dissonance. The book offers professors in professional schools substantial food for thought. It provides insight into a topic that is often discussed, but rarely explored. Faculty members in professional and graduate schools would find this book very interesting and thought provoking. Recommended. -- Choice, In this brilliantly observed study of student careers in two professional schools--one preparing students for law, the other for social work--Carrie Yang Costello reveals ways in which schools train students to fit into a wider system of inequality.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
