Abstract

Community economies (CE) is a key term in the interdisciplinary subfield of diverse economies, growing from the pioneering feminist political economy scholarship of J.K. Gibson-Graham (Gibson-Graham and Dombroski 2020). Scholarship in this subfield has been influential in many academic fields including geography, anthropology, sociology, business and organization studies, as well as the humanities and arts. It has also informed movement activism in countries throughout the world. In keeping with this tradition this entry uses the term 'community economies' to emphasize the plurality of economic forms of life but recognize the meaning of the suffix 'ic' as of or pertaining to something.
