In this book, we aim to take a broader perspective and inquire into the intersection of professions, knowledge and space. Chapters in this volume will address key questions regarding how social groups create, use and spread knowledge, and how these processes relate to geographical space and place, including such questions as: How do professions frame, build and train proficiency? How do members of a profession govern professional competence, knowledge and skill? What are the geographical conditions and social contexts in which these processes are helped or hindered? To answer these questions, scholars from philosophy, sociology, political science, geography, psychology, and history contribute conceptual and empirical work from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including case studies on translators in Israel, engineers in Canada, architects in the UK, or psychologists in Argentina.
