Passionate about policy impact and research, Vagmi is an interdisciplinary socio-legal researcher committed to the values of feminist care and collaboration, self-reflectivity, and joy.

Her research encompasses critical legal approaches to sovereignty and citizenship, the intersections between post-structuralist philosophy and legal theory, post-humanist affect theory, approaches to spatial governance and theories of technology and media.

With an intent to embody the ethic of praxis, she has been actively involved in both, academic and policy research. Inspired by Dean Spade’s scholarship on Mutual Aid, her evidence-driven policy research aims to formulate non-carceral, community-centric, self-sustainable governance models that reflect a bottom-up approach to social justice and prioritize excluded rights holders.
