Ashley Cooper

Ashley Cooper served as Co-Director of the Harvard Chapter of Science Club for Girls from 2018 to 2020, where she helped re-establish the Mentor Chapter at Harvard. She has been a Mentor with Science Club for Girls for seven years now.


Ashley is currently  a PhD Student in the History of Science and Medicine at Yale University. A recipient of the Dean's Emerging Scholar Fellowship and Yale's Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration Fellowship, Ashley's research lies at the nexus of the history of psychiatry, the history of the transatlantic slave trade, and the history of emotion.


In 2021, Ashley graduated from Harvard College with a B.A. in Neuroscience and Social Anthropology, a Secondary Field in History of Science, and Language Citation in French. After graduation, she completed an MPhil with Distinction in Health, Medicine, and Society at the University of Cambridge, as the Lionel De Jersey Harvard Scholar. She also holds a Master of Science from Harvard Medical School. 


For her research and advocacy, Ashley has been awarded the Science Club for Girls Catalyst Award, the Harvard Insignia Award, the Mellon Mays Fellowship, the Hoopes Prize for outstanding research, the Clyde Kluckhohn Prize, and the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation Mental Health Scholarship.

 

Passionate about equity and accessibility, Ashley has loved witnessing students become emboldened as young scientists through Science Club for Girls. SCFG has, in turn, deeply empowered Ashley as a scientist. She is ecstatic to join the Honorary Board of this incredible organization which has been transformational for herself and countless others.
