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.

Join us as we say goodbye to season 4! We share some final thoughts on the season, give some much deserved shout outs, and share the sneakiest of peeks into season 5.

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.

In this episode, we speak with Jeffrey Yoo Warren, an artist, community scientist, illustrator, and researcher. Jeffrey’s work aims to disrupt and dismantle the dominant framing of knowledge production by connecting with predecessor science and creating instruments for multiple worlds.

In this episode we discuss critical numeracy, mathematics, and how numbers shape relationships in our society with former co-host Atasi Das.

Blackgirl geographies, radical love, and freedom lands are the focal point of our conversation with Loren Cahill. We discuss cartography as a settler colonial project and also explore the many lessons to be learned from Harriet Tubman in our fight for abolition.

We talk to the organizers of Tiny Tech Zines about their first zine fair, which centered technology-focused zines by BIPOC creators. We discuss the history and purpose of zines as well as TTZ’s intentional emphasis on care as part of their work

In this episode, we introduce season 4 and changes to the podcast.

In this episode, we speak to several members from Radical STEMM. They are a group of STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Making) educators in the Bay Area committed to PK-12 education grounded in liberation pedagogy.
