Jim McGrath lives in Massachusetts. He received a doctorate in English from Northeastern University in 2015, and his dissertation includes a chapter that discusses the relationship between Wikipedia, ideas of poetry in the twenty-first century, and John Ashbery.[1] At Northeastern he was also Project Co-Director of Our Marathon: The Boston Bombing Digital Archive.
Jim worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Brown University's John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage from 2015-2020. In 2017 he worked with Wiki Ed to sponsor a Wikipedia Visiting Scholar[2]. Wikipedia was a frequent topic of discussion in courses, guest lectures, and consultations with students and faculty at Brown. He has also worked with community partners in Providence to consider the relationship between Wikipedia and local history.
Jim currently works as an instructional designer at Salem State University, where he supports faculty interested in integrating open educational resources like Wikipedia into their course materials (among other responsibilities).
Jim is interested in digital pedagogy, digital preservation, public history and public humanities, American poetry, graphic novels, professional wrestling, and pizza.
