On today’s show, we’re joined by El Jones, a poet, journalist, academic, and abolitionist who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She teaches at Mt Saint Vincent University. She was also Halifax’s Poet Laureate from 2013 to 2015. Her work focuses on social justice issues such as feminism, prison abolition, antiracism, and decolonization. Her latest book which we’ll be discussing today is Abolitionist Intimacies, examining the movement to abolish prisons through the Black feminist principles of care and collectivity.
