Abstract

Drawing on abolition feminism to inform qualitative research methodology supports research practices which center justice-impacted participants as colleagues and provides opportunities for unanticipated stories to be shared. Navigating reflexive thematic analysis with abolition-compatible practices opens the question, what could full and free access to social work higher education look like? What would be possible if justice-impacted individuals were fully welcomed?
