Occupational Activism: Conceptual Distinctions and Theoretical Frameworks
本文区分了职业行动主义与社会运动行动主义、劳工运动行动主义等概念，并借鉴社会运动理论、组织不平等理论和基层官僚制理论，为研究通过职业角色推动社会变革提供了理论基础。
Occupational activism refers to socially transformative action pursued through one's occupational role or community. In this introduction to Work and Occupations ’ special issue on “Working for Social Change,” we clarify how occupational activism is distinct from other concepts such as social movement activism, labor movement activism, institutional activism, and professional activism. We also identify several theoretical frameworks from adjacent fields that can be repurposed and applied to the study of occupational activism, including social movement theory, organizational inequality theories, and street-level bureaucracy theory. Altogether, our article offers a foundation for future research on activism in and through the world of work.
