Seeing Diversity, Multiplying Possibility: My Journey from Post feminism to Post development with J. K. Gibson Graham
As a graduate student I first came into contact with the work and persons of J. K. Gibson Graham. As I was mentored and supervised by Katherine Gibson, the piece 'Building Community Economies: Women and the Politics of Place' became part of my journey into feminism and feminist post development research. In this chapter I highlight three principles I have carried with me from that time until now: starting where you are, seeing diversity and multiplying possibility. With reference to my own developing research interests, I explore how Gibson Graham's work is relevant and inspiring in a third wave feminist context.
