Hayley Park

Hayley Park is a Ph.D. student whose research focuses on the intersection of immigrant information experiences, PD/PAR methodologies, and the potential of technology in the rapidly changing LIS landscape. As a former library worker in diverse information settings, Hayley’s librarian-researcher praxis reflects a social justice-centered approach, focusing on examining and disrupting the conditions under which structural inequities are created, maintained, and reinforced, with attention to the multilayered costs of labor on workers and marginalized community members.

Hayley received her MLIS from the University of Washington in Seattle, worked as a public librarian, and was selected as a 2022-2023 ALA Spectrum Scholar and 2023-2024 ALA Emerging Leader. She is currently collaborating with her advisor, Dr. Ana Ndumu, on the IMLS-funded LINA (Libraries, Integration, and New Americans) Project.
