This chapter provides an overview of the contributions of Gibson-Graham to heterodox economics. It discusses (i) the re-framing of economic representation through the theory of Diverse Economies; (ii) the development of postcapitalist alternatives through the perspective of Community Economies; and (iii) the building of economic knowledge commons through CEI and the CERN network.

This article addresses the current restructuring of academia in Turkey through the example of the Academics for Peace petition and the institutional mechanisms of repression it instigated. We focus on the Solidarity Academies as alternative spaces of education and a unique form of collective resistance against the academic purges. We provide an empirically informed analysis of Solidarity Academies as spaces of commoning, the collective production and sharing of knowledge by emergent communities of struggle.
