The (re)formulation of the sociologist’s
professional identity has been, and it is, a process of permanent search for
legitimation and institutionalisation. This paper aims to discuss the
sociologist’s professional identity, thus seeking to add to a deepening of this
subject. For this purpose, a bibliographic search was carried out on this
topic, starting from the situation of Sociology in Portugal. Furthermore, the
authors’ experience in teaching and research in the area of Sociology and
related social sciences of about 20 years was also used. It is concluded that,
in analytical terms, it is possible to differentiate ideal type profiles of the
sociologist’s professional identity. Yet, there is the need to be aware, on the
one hand, of the possibility that the same sociologist can share features of
more than one type, and, on the other hand, of the fact that, over time, both
the sociologist’s professional identity and the typology itself may be subject
to changes.
