We're back for season 5! Tune in as we kickoff the new season, introduce the newest member of Abolition Science, and discuss what abolition means to each of us.

In part 1 of our two part series on Science, Consent, and Centering Survivors we speak with twerk enthusiast and ratchet revolutionary Jewel the Gem. We discuss abolition as a praxis of love, centering survivors to transform systems, and the historical legacy of anti-Black racism in the medical industrial complex. Trigger/Content Warning: This episode does talk about domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape which begins around 14 minutes.

Abolition as education in practice, generative pedagogy, and reimagining the classroom space are the focal points of our conversation with Dr. Carmen Kynard. We discuss how Black Feminism is an imaginary practice that allows us to resist, disrupt, and create.
