      Jacob Breslow is Assistant Professor of Gender and Sexuality at the LSE Department of Gender Studies, UK. His primary line of research is on contemporary social justice movements in the US, and the ways in which the idea of childhood works within and against them.

      Chiung-wen Chang is Assistant Professor at the National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan. Her work has focused upon geographies of alternative economies with special concern about the ways that people situated in marginal areas/status act collectively in response to capitalist hegemony of neoliberalist economy. Her previous study was to look at knowledge transfer systems of organic farming among smallholders. She is now engaged in practices of post-capitalist communing. One programme is the initiation of credit union movement on campus. It aims at enhancing financial literature and encouraging young people to help each other through a campus-based credit union. Another is cooperative-informed participation in eastern Taiwan. An on-going project is to co-work with activists of animal welfare to support the elders to develop backyard poultry by setting up micro-businesses in a cooperative form. It is to connect community practices of solidarity economy to ideas of active aging and animal welfare at a community level.
