Few studies on immigrant labour market integration consider the role of local policy actors such as human resource management (HRM) professionals, who make and influence hiring decisions. Drawing on interviews and Relational Inequality Theory, this paper examines how HRM professionals in Alberta categorically define and evaluate immigrant candidates. Findings reveal that HRM professionals fail to recognize immigrants as legally entitled and preferred workers based on their permanent residency, instead treating them as temporary migrants who are administrative burdens or financial risks. Strategic HRM logics provide non-racial justifications for exclusion, yet evaluations are guided by cultural fit criteria that serve as proxies for Whiteness. These insights reframe the problem as also a recognition of legal status, showing how immigration categories and cultural racism intersect to reproduce inequality in Canada's labour market.","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13643031/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149118304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article engages with longstanding scholarship on work, occupations and professions to address this question. Drawing primarily on the work of Adams (2018), Saks (2021) and their associated neo-Weberian approaches, I argue that professions are socially constructed and historically, geographically and temporally contingent. As such, the contemporary macrostructural conditions (re)shaping professional work in the Anglo-American context—most notably emerging subjective forms of precariousness—should not be interpreted as signalling the demise of professions. Rather, they represent the latest iteration of professional work and its ongoing effort to maintain hegemony amid shifting economic structures. Although professional and non-professional occupations appear to be converging in some of the respects traditionally separating them, I argue that professions remain analytically distinct from non-professions. This distinction persists because professionals continue to benefit from the economic and symbolic advantages they have secured through state legitimation, social closure, and the enduring cultural representations of themselves and their work that promote the ideological ‘common-senseness’ of their elevated social and economic status. The article therefore concludes that professions are not experiencing a ‘crisis’ but are instead entering a new phase of their ongoing reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13620194/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149076604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Telepathic animal communication (TAC) represents a field in which knowledge claims are inherently non-verifiable, yet services are actively marketed and consumed. This study examines how TAC practitioners construct credibility on their websites. Drawing on Grounded Theory, websites offering TAC services in Germany were qualitatively analyzed. Findings identify three central mechanisms of credibility construction. First, practitioners employ professionalized presentations, including structured services, therapeutic terminology, and biographical self-legitimation. Second, credibility is reinforced through emotional and relational appeal, including personalized communication, expressions of care, and perceived closeness between practitioner and client. Third, strategic non-verifiability emerges as a distinctive mechanism: the inherent unverifiability of TAC is actively mobilized to protect claims from falsification through interpretative flexibility. The findings show how credibility can be stabilized through professional, relational, and epistemic strategies despite the absence of empirical validation.","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cars.70055","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149032151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than focusing on the individual characteristics of trusters, it examines how mistrust emerges from a subjective evaluation of environments perceived as threatening. Drawing on a body of work on mistrust and trust, the article proposes a two-tiered model distinguishing between underlying mistrust, rooted in generalized social vulnerability, and directed distrust, focused on specific actors. The study identifies four key factors shaping perceptions of environmental threat: precariousness, lack of support, diminished recognition, and limited agency. Ethnographic cases highlight how these factors interact to produce mistrust, and how their presence or absence modulates its expression. The article also incorporates a distinction between mistrust and distrust to refine conceptual clarity. Though grounded in a specific empirical context—immigrant workers navigating Quebec's work injury rehabilitation system—the model is offered as a more generalizable analytical tool. By treating mistrust not as a deficit or pathology but as a rational, context-responsive orientation, this article contributes to the development of a situated theory of mistrust applicable across diverse social fields.","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cars.70054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149032119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study offers a sociological perspective by framing suicidality as an anomic response to structural frustration and strain caused by settler colonialism. In this view, patterns of suicidality, like patterns of drug use, are seen not as symptoms of personal pathology but as effects of structural harm experienced by Indigenous communities. Using data from the 2017 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, the analysis explores how structural conditions, together with constellations, relate to differences in suicidal thoughts. The results reveal that functional disability and unmet medical needs are strongly linked to both past and recent suicidal ideation, while residential instability correlates with past suicidal ideation. Marital ties are associated with lower levels of past suicidality. Variations across Indigenous identities remain, with Inuit respondents showing higher levels of suicidal thoughts. Mental health and a constellation of coping mechanisms also relate to suicidality. These findings emphasize the need to view suicidality within the context of broader structural inequalities and contribute to a sociological understanding that is informed by Indigenous and decolonial scholarship.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148754043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose that perceived clarity and coherence of governmental measures and perceived majority support of these measures together create a normative context that shapes social cohesion. Using a representative sample of adult Canadians (N = 1180) and a longitudinal design, we aim to (1) identify profiles of perceived clarity, coherence and majority support of governmental measures at three time points during the first year of the pandemic and (2) determine if the dynamics identified are associated with attitudes and behaviours capturing social cohesion at a later time. Results showed that two profiles for perceived clarity/coherence and for perceived majority support best described our data. For both profiles, about 75% of the sample was classified in a high-level decreasing profile and 25% in a low-level decreasing profile. The identified profiles were associated with social cohesion months later. Our results provide insights that could be used by governments to better plan the message sent to the population during a future crisis to maximize social cohesion.","PeriodicalId":51649,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Review of Sociology-Revue Canadienne De Sociologie","volume":"63 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13454513/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148702323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
