This collaborative research project contributes to theories of rights mobilization and claims making through consideration of how local political and civic context shapes rights mobilization and implementation. Research is based on in-depth interviews with federal, state and local government officials, representatives of advocacy groups and other civil society organizations, and persons making labor rights claims to ascertain how variation in political and civic context affects legal consciousness, willingness to mobilize around rights claims, implementation strategies, and government accountability. Several broader impacts will result from this research. First, research findings will inform debates over how best to implement federal rights initiatives that seek to improve educational and occupational mobility as well as civic engagement. Second, this research will inform the work of various community organizations and government institutions responding to rights claims and their implementation. Finally, this project will inform course development and research training of graduate students in two public universities.

这一合作研究项目通过考虑当地政治和公民环境如何影响权利动员和落实，为权利动员和权利主张理论作出了贡献。研究基于对联邦、州和地方政府官员、倡导团体和其他公民社会组织的代表以及提出劳工权利主张的人的深入采访，以确定政治和公民背景的变化如何影响法律意识、围绕权利主张动员的意愿、实施战略和政府问责。这项研究将产生几个更广泛的影响。首先，研究结果将为关于如何最好地实施旨在改善教育和职业流动性以及公民参与的联邦权利倡议的辩论提供信息。其次，本研究将为各社区组织和政府机构响应权利要求的工作及其实施提供参考。最后，该项目将为两所公立大学研究生的课程开发和研究培训提供参考。
