All in abolition
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.
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Nathan Alexander, mathematics educator, researcher and James King, Jr. Visiting Professor of Mathematics Teaching at Morehouse College. Dr. Alexander's work aims to improve an understanding of how we learn, our collective knowledge of justice and injustice, and our relationship with mathematics. Listen in as we talk with him about Afrofuturism and Black futurity and how he connects these concepts to mathematics education.
In this episode, we speak with Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education, Dr. Kari Kokka on her work in mathematics education. Learn about trauma-informed care and radical healing and how she connects it to mathematics education.
In this episode, we speak to our guest, Judy Dow on a praxis of abolition. Judy Dow is a basketmaker and educator of over 30 years and is currently working on a book entitled Returning To Ourselves. She shares her praxis connecting mapping, stories, navigating the narrows, and learning from the land. Amazing stuff!
