Sarah Serpas

Sarah Serpas serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning within the Margie and Bill Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), where she contributes to academic instruction and research in urban policy and planning.

Her research centers on Urban Planning, Urban Policy, and Social Justice, with concentrated expertise in Race and Ethnicity, Urban Economics, and Residential Segregation. She investigates systemic inequalities through empirical studies of frontline workers, property taxation systems, and spatial segregation patterns, particularly focusing on marginalized communities in metropolitan contexts like New York City.

Analysis of her publication history reveals consistent engagement with urban inequality through multiple lenses: labor demographics intersecting with race and gender (2020), fiscal policy impacts on housing (2019), regional dimensions of segregation (2016), and methodological approaches to urban form classification (2015). This body of work demonstrates a cohesive research trajectory examining structural inequities in urban systems through both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
