Doctoral Dissertation Research: Mobilizing human rights frames

本项目试图探讨法律的动员和社会运动的积极性是如何被社会和政治背景所塑造的，特别是在政治空间受到限制的政权中。它具体审查了在对人权框架有明显敌意的不自由政权中，在处理身份问题时采用人权框架作为替代品对政治接受的影响。研究计划包括对3个社会运动组织进行为期12个月的参与式观察和大约50次半结构化访谈。该项目提供了提高对社会运动能力的理解的潜力，以提高其社会可取性的方式改变框架，在自由和不自由的社会。

This project attempts to situate the ways in which legal mobilization and social movement activism are shaped by social and political contexts, especially in regimes where the political space is constrained. It specifically examines the impact on perceived political acceptance in illiberal regimes, which have a noted hostility to human rights frames, of adopting a human rights frame as a substitute when approaching identity issues. The research plan involves participant observation over 12 months with 3 social movement organizations and approximately 50 semi-structured interviews. The project offers the potential for increasing understanding of the ability of social movements to shift frames in ways that enhance their social desirability, in both liberal and illiberal societies.
