How do we draw on feminist struggles for openness in common resources, from security to knowledge, as we inhabit a compromised space in commercial publishing? We think about this first in relation to the content of this issue: on image-based abuse continuums, asylum struggles, trials of protestors, customary justice, and not-so- timely reparations. Our thoughts take us through the different ways that openness The authors are the current members of the FLS Editorial Board, who have collectively produced this editorial as a collaborative research contribution, with Fletcher playing the role of primary author. More specifically, members have contributed to the editing and generation of the journal issue on which this editorial draws. Members of the Editorial Board were also involved in developing and participating in the programme for #FLaK2016 infra n 2, on which this editorial also draws. Board members have discussed the policy issues, negotiations with Springer and response to Feminists@Law at FLS meetings and at our retreat in Glasgow in May 2017, and those discussions inform the editorial. Finally, we continue to think about this question of inhabiting institutional spaces differently and are delighted to be collaborating with the Centre for Research on Race and Law in hosting Sara Ahmed for our 25th anniversary lecture on 'The Institutional as Usual' on 6 October; see https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ feminist-legal-studies-25th-anniversary-lecture-sara-ahmed-on-the-institutional-as-usual-sexisn-tickets- 36747365359. Fletcher drafted the editorial and finalized it in light of comments from Board members. ® Ruth Fletcher r.fletcher@qmul.ac.uk Queen Mary University of London, London, UK 2 Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, London, UK 3 University of Kent, Canterbury, UK 4 University of Bristol, Bristol, UK 5 Birkbeck College, University of London, London, UK 6 University of Newcastle, Newcastle, UK 7 Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK I Springer
