Sergio Infante

Sergio Infante is a Ph.D. candidate in Global History at Yale University. His current research examines the relationships between the social sciences, economic development, and antipoverty programs, with a special focus on twentieth-century South America. He is writing a history of the “informal sector” and “informal economy” as concepts. His work touches on several themes that concern historians of the recent past, such as transnational migration, gig work, population growth, technocracy, democracy, and the Cold War.

 

Sergio received a B.A. in History from Yale College in 2018 and an M.Phil in Modern South Asian Studies from the University of Cambridge in 2019. He is a recipient of the P.D. Soros “New Americans” Fellowship, the Beinecke Fellowship of the Sperry Fund, the Charles and Julia Henry Fellowship, and most recently, the History of Economics Society’s Young Scholars Award. Before enrolling at Yale, Sergio was an editor at Foreign Affairs Magazine.
