She began studying sociology at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences (EHESS) in Paris in 1996, and completed her Ph.D. there in 2006, defending the dissertation La production sociale de violonistes virtuoses ("Social Production of Virtuosos)" with Jean-Michel Chapoulie as her thesis advisor.[3][4]

Later since 2008 she worked at the Institute of Sociology - University of Warsaw.
Within the field of sociological research, Wagner's contributions are focused on the careers of artists and intellectuals, professional socialization and geographic mobility, migrations and forced-migrations. Linking history with sociology she wrote about antisemitism in Europe in 20th and 21st centuries.[citation needed]
