Vaibhavi Bhat is a recent graduate from the Department of Communication Studies, Mount Carmel College, Bengaluru, holding a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Communication Studies. With experience across nonprofit, academic, and media contexts, her work spans from visual design and writing to multimedia content creation. 

Drawn to Practice-as-Research, Vaibhavi’s research interests sit at the intersection of participatory arts-based practices, nature, and photography. Her other interests lie in archiving, mixed media art, film, and new media. 

As a Communications Assistant at NLISU, she hopes to contribute meaningfully while developing her practice within a space that values rigorous inquiry at the intersection of law, public policy and socio-legal research.
