He is a member of the Grothendieck Circle, which provides on-line and open access to many writings about the mathematician Alexandre Grothendieck, whose category-theoretic genius revolutionized Banach-space theory and algebraic geometry and whose life has fascinated many biographers and mathematical scientists.

McLarty has also written about the German algebraist, Emmy Noether, who was a Jewish woman, and her involvement with German political history.
