BIO

Em Bagg is a queer, disabled, migrant woman living and working on Wurundjeri country with her service dog Bronte. She is a final year PhD candidate who harnesses her lived experience to open spaces for others to share their own narratives of educational opportunity. Her research practice draws upon interdisciplinary, intersectional, decolonial, pragmatic feminist ways of thinking, being, knowing and doing. Its framing perplexity is the re/construction of assumptions underpinning policy; seeking to ameliorate the distinction between policy’s conceptions of university experience and actual lived experience of such. This has resulted in the development of the Vectors of Opportunity Framework (VoOF), a quantitative intersectional instrument for equitable data collection, analysis and policy design.
