Seeris

Originally from France, I live in Montreal (Québec, Canada). I am a professor and researcher at Institut national de la recherche scientifique teaching and researching on the topics of digital culture, free knowledge, urban culture and cultural heritage. I was previously a post-doctoral research fellow at McGill University as well as a visiting fellow at the New York University.

I started contributing to Wikipedia in 2012, after conducting a post-doctoral research on GLAM projects. I was a board member of Wikimedia Canada from 2014 to 2016. In the last few years, I have been involved in several community, educational and GLAM projects in Quebec.
