Hayley Park (she/they) is a Ph.D. student whose research focuses on the intersection of immigrant legal information behavior, participatory methodologies, and critical examination of emerging 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. As a former Library Futures intern, Hayley has presented the “AI Clauses in Library-Vendor Contracts: Toward Building a Trust-based Information Environment “at the 2025 ASIS&T SIG-USE Symposium
