“…The ethnographic framework of this research developed as part of wider studies of social formations by the authors which tried to combine large-scale social processes with intimate case studies. This has been a distinctive ethnographic project which has often tried to provide a historical ethnography of objects, machines, social beings broadly situated within a phenomenological approach informed by critical theory (Hudson 2015(Hudson , 2016(Hudson , 2017a(Hudson , 2017b(Hudson , 2018(Hudson , 2019Donkin 2016Donkin , 2017. Central to that ethnographic project is the idea of the experimental space as something which can be observed in its use by social beings.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to document and describe an omni-disciplinary ethnography of a complex arts and cultural regeneration organisation in Durham (TESTT Space). The organization and its art spaces are hybrid combination tools explicitly designed to test and experiment with ideas, social forms, human interactions and arts practice. Its ground or practice is a repurposed meanwhile space in a city centre embedded in a unique cultural landscape of local communities, a University and a World Heritage Site. The research attempted to understand its groundwork, its interactions and its civic mission and aspirations in a time of radical change and rupture. Design/methodology/approach The authors assumed an ethnographic approach, working with and within this organisation for a year, thinking of the research as embedded, intimate research and committed to social change. It was a work of co-production – working with studio-holders, curators, artists and facilitators using a range of triangulated qualitative research methods. These include structured interviews, auto-ethnography, ethnography of spaces, arts-led research, art as research and research as art. Findings TESTT Space has allowed both the retention of artists in the city and the propulsion of artists into the world. It has offered different ways of engaging in the complex lives of artists and curators, allowing them to test aesthetics and try out new social models. It has thought up its own network as a thinking practice, has developed its own politics, civics and imagined a set of new futures. Originality/value The paper documents interactions and aspirations, describing the lived phenomenological experience of being in this experimental space.

“…Examining the ACRL Framework through the lens of HOWL allows the field to see how it has centered whiteness through its pedagogical techniques. Scholars of color such as Sofia Y. Leung, Jorge R. L opez-McKnight, Todd Honma and David James Hudson have critiqued the field's preoccupation with whiteness and how that lens is applied to how librarianship is practiced (Hudson, 2023a;Leung, 2022;Leung and L opez-McKnight, 2020).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to make visible the field's propensity to center whiteness even in engaging inclusive practices in information literacy classrooms. This paper offers abolitionist pedagogy as a means to understand and address these concerns.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses interdisciplinary research methods in the fields of education, library science, feminist studies, Black studies and abolition studies to examine and provide an analysis of current information literacy practices by using abolitionist pedagogy to articulate how it is possible to expand information literacy instruction practices.FindingsCurrent information literacy practices and methods that seek to create inclusive learning environments for racialized and minoritized learners rely on a set of institutionalized practices such as critical information literacy and culturally sustaining pedagogies. An examination of these practices through an abolitionist pedagogical lens reveals how the field has engaged in reductive and uncritical engagement with these methods despite employing them to create inclusive spaces. Using abolitionist pedagogy as a lens, this critical essay examines the field's foundations in whiteness and illustrates pathways for transformative educational justice.Originality/valueThere has been much work on inclusive teaching practices that discusses challenging information literacy structures' reliance on dominant culture.? To date, there has been little to no scholarship on how information literacy practices could engage in abolitionist pedagogical praxis.
