We cannot construe the modern professional independently of networks (plural), so much so that characteristically, the professional actively and intentionally develops her networks (she ‘networks’). A number of inter-related questions arise though: in what or whose interests is this networking taking place? What kind of responsibility, if any, is upheld in this networking? To what end is it taking place? Here opens a passageway for the entrance of what might be termed an ecological professionalism. The ecological professional is one who takes her networks so seriously that she embeds herself in them; commits herself to them, indeed. This professional not merely understands but is sensitive to the interconnectedness of her professional self and the entire environment within which she works. Her ecological professionalism works at six levels: herself (the self as a sustainable project); her immediate professional relationships (including her clients); her discourses (epistemologies); her profession; the wider society; and the world itself. The idea of the ecological offers new insight into the ideas of the professional and professionalism and points towards, and even urges us towards, a new sense of professional responsibility involving ‘a new ecosophy, at once applied and theoretical, ethico-political and aesthetic.
