目的
- 探索英国平等政策制定精英的关键成员的经验，询问她从活动家到顶级平等专业人士的转变。将注意力集中在女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者平等工作这一未充分探索的领域。
设计/方法/方式
- 采访的序言是对当前英国平等政策的批评性评论，语境化的采访讨论，其中链接个人和集体的历史，并提供了随着时间的推移平等工作的比较。
结果
- 安吉拉·梅森，虽然是最高级别的公务员，但仍然声称自己是活动家。像其他各种平等工作者一样，她在不同的时间和不同的背景下使用多种策略来吸引不同的选民。
独创性/价值
- 这是对过去30年来英国平等政策发展的主要参与者之一的采访。它的独特之处在于，它从一个“内部人士”的角度关注目前英国平等政策的改革，并在这次重组的过渡时期（2006年10月）进行了时间安排。
Purpose
– To explore the experience of a key member of the UK equalities policy‐making elite, interrogating her shift from activist to top‐ranking equalities professional. To focus attention on the under‐explored area of lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender equalities work.
Design/methodology/approach
– The interview is prefaced with a critical commentary on current UK equalities policy, contextualising the interview discussion, which links personal and collective histories and provides a comparison of equalities work over time.
Findings
– Angela Mason, while top‐ranking civil servant, continues to claim the label activist. Like a variety of other equalities workers she uses multiple tactics to appeal to different constituents at different times and in different contexts.
Originality/value
– This is an interview with one of the key protagonists in the development of UK equalities policies over the last 30 years. It is unique in its focus on the current overhaul of UK equalities policy from an “insider” and in its timing at the interim point of this reorganisation (October 2006).
