Hayley Maritza Serpa (she/her/ella) is a Ph.D. student 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 questions of plural ontologies and narratives surrounding communal identity and indigenous demographic practices amongst 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. She continues to collaborate with her alma mater’s Latin American and Caribbean Center as Co-Team Lead for a USFS/USAID project centering community-based, participatory research approaches to local environmental stewardship in the Anglophone Caribbean.
