Hayley Serpa

Hayley Maritza Serpa (she/her/ella) is a Ph.D. student in the Program in the History of Science and Medicine. She is interested in the history of demography and population as a scientific category, especially as these have been shaped and understood within the Peruvian Andes-Amazon and the broader global South. She particularly hopes to explore plural ontologies and narratives surrounding communal identity and indigenous demographic practices among Quechua-speaking communities. Before moving to New Haven, she served as Project Coordinator at the University of Miami Libraries for a community archives and oral history project working alongside Florida farmworkers. Hayley is a graduate of the concurrent B.A./M.A. program in History at Florida International University, where she also pursued a minor in Religious Studies and a Latin American and Caribbean Studies certificate.
