ABSTRACT

Perpetuation of privileged norming in organizations threatens the fragile hope that the theory and practice of professionalism can evolve alongside commitments to equity and inclusion. Uncritical engagement with a normative professionalism can lead to the muting of differences and strengths that diverse standpoints offer to professional communities. We look to the field of Medicine as an example for other professional groups, in which experts have criticized its development of a normative professionalism shaped by, retaining, and sustaining privilege. Using a triad of case studies and co-cultural theory, we suggest that non-dominant perspectives and behaviors ought to be better recognized and welcomed as part of professionalism discourse, and that professional education ought to include co-cultural awareness of communication behaviors and their function as identity performance. We suggest that recognizing and reinforcing accommodation behaviors will lead to a more robust inclusivity for an evolving normativity, and that the wisdom habits of curiosity, perspective, love of learning, judgment, and creativity must be brought to bear on improving co-cultural dialogue, dismantling systemic privilege, practicing attributional complexity, and building genuinely dialogic professional communities rather than depersonalized collectives.

摘要

组织中特权规范的长期存在威胁到了专业精神理论和实践可以随着对公平和包容的承诺而发展的脆弱希望。以规范的专业精神进行不加批判的参与可能会导致不同立场为专业社区提供的差异和优势减弱。我们将医学领域视为其他专业团体的一个例子，其中专家批评其发展了一种由、保留和维持特权塑造的规范专业精神。使用案例研究和共文化理论的三元组，我们建议应该更好地承认和欢迎非主流观点和行为作为专业话语的一部分，并且专业教育应该包括对交流行为的共文化意识及其作为身份表现的功能。我们建议，识别和加强适应行为将为不断发展的规范性带来更强大的包容性，并且必须将好奇心、观点、热爱学习、判断力和创造力的智慧习惯用于改善共同文化对话，消除系统特权，实践归因复杂性，并建立真正对话的专业社区，而不是去个性化的集体。
