  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

  • Composing Digital Community Spaces: Design and Literacy Practices In/Of the Archive
    1 COMPOSING DIGITAL COMMUNITY SPACES: DESIGN AND LITERACY PRACTICES IN/OF THE ARCHIVE A dissertation presented by Kristi Tillene Nadira Girdharry to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts August, 2016 2 COMPOSING DIGITAL COMMUNITY SPACES: DESIGN AND LITERACY PRACTICES IN/OF THE ARCHIVE by Kristi Tillene Nadira Girdharry ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University August, 2016 3 ABSTRACT This dissertation offers a case study of Our Marathon: The Boston Bombing Digital Archive & WBUR Oral History Project by exploring the relationships between the creation of the archive, the use of the archive, and the narratives the archive tells on its surface and in its stories. More specifically, it looks at how Our Marathon adheres to/departs from traditional archives through its state as a digital archive, its attempt to both historicize and memorialize an event, and its focus as a community project. This dissertation takes advantage of offering a real-time examination of the digital archive’s role in capturing the artifacts and reflective practices of people affected by the tragic events of the Boston Marathon bombings through a mixed-methods approach; it draws upon primary research, the archive itself, and the researcher’s own participation in designing and building the space. To add to ongoing conversations on digital archives in Rhetoric and Composition scholarship, because of the complicated nature of the term “community” and because of a gap in understanding how these types of digital community sites function in the world, this dissertation aims to open up a conversation on building spaces for public writing and how the sponsors of these spaces impact participation and representation.
