Research
Much of Julie Graham's writing was done under the pen name of J.K. Gibson-Graham, which she shared with her longtime collaborator and research partner, Katherine Gibson.

Her work involved rethinking economy and re-visioning economic development. With her collaborators, she drew on political economy, poststructuralist theory, feminism, and ongoing community-based research to pursue three major research directions:

1) Producing a language of the diverse economy that highlights the variety of transactions, forms of labor, class relations, types of enterprise, ecological relationships, and development dynamics in contemporary economies 2)Generating narratives, models and projects of non-capitalist and alternative capitalist development

3) Constructing and strengthening community economies in place through local action research.
