项目摘要

My research explores four key themes:1. Conditions and contexts for policy change: My research adds to knowledge on domestic abuse policy-making in post-devolution Scotland by highlighting the contexts and conditions under which policy change can occur. Internationally and domestically regarded as a policy leader, Scotland's 'success stories' of progressive policymaking are rooted in an approach that integrates gendered ideas and frames (framing domestic abuse as a cause and consequence of gender inequality). My research investigates the specific configuration of timing, events, actors, and institutions that created favourable conditions for feminist policy change. However, it complicates the 'feminist success' narratives by pointing to the legacies of old institutions and 'ways of working' in limiting women's movement's ability to effect the kind of change to which they aspire.2. Frames and sequencing: My research contributes to questions around policy change (see Pierson, 2000a; 2000b; 2004) by arguing that the sequencing (or order) in which policy frames are implemented in policy-making matters for enhancing or constraining policy change, impacting upon future framing decisions and policy directions. I pinpoint the ways in which the sequencing of policy frames 'matters' in the Scottish case, explaining how and why some policy frames are embedded in policy while others are side-lined, and the long-lasting effects of policy decisions on future policy frames and proposed solutions.3. Anti-gender resistance: Muddying the narrative of Scotland's 'success story', my research highlights ongoing resistance in framing the problem of domestic abuse. Establishing an extensive empirical timeline and detailed tracing of policy and resistance over time, it provides one of the first detailed accounts of how, why and where this resistance has emerged, highlighting three mechanisms of resistance: misunderstandings, sanctioned ignorance, and active resistance. It provides new insights into how feminist ideas are contested and actively resisted and its effects on policy change and continuity, both in the present and future.4. Contestations within women's movements: My research explores how the framing of domestic abuse has been contested within the women's movement in Scotland over time - known as intramovement contestations (Benford and Snow, 2000; Benford, 1997). Previous research (Mackay, 2010) has examined the unitary success of the women's movement in generating feminist policy change in Scotland, but my research points towards to two enduring and interconnected intramovement contestations in the Scottish case. I argue that power imbalances in policy-making processes have (re)produced the marginalisation of minority survivors, impacting upon the effectiveness of policy. It highlights the necessity for scholars interested in policy change to be attentive to diversity and debates within movements.The Fellowship provides an opportunity to maximise the impact of my findings and establish a strong publishing track record, preparing me for a future academic career with strong ties to both academic and non-academic stakeholders. I aim to publish two journal articles, develop a book proposal, and present at academic and practitioner conferences, contributing to knowledge across various fields (policy, gender and politics, gender-based violence). I aim to produce a policy briefing on intersectional policy-making, which I will launch at a KEI event, maximising the real-world impact of my thesis. I will develop my research and professional skills through an institutional visit, developing my conceptual framework and manuscript, and building new networks and attending professional development workshops at Edinburgh. Finally, in collaboration with my mentor, I will develop funding proposals for longer-term Fellowships. These aims will enhance my competitiveness and position me well for the next stage of my academic career.

我的研究探讨了四个关键主题：1。政策变化的条件和背景：我的研究通过强调政策变化可能发生的背景和条件，增加了对权力下放后苏格兰家庭暴力决策的了解。在国际和国内被视为政策领导者，苏格兰进步决策的“成功故事”植根于一种整合性别观念和框架的方法（将家庭虐待视为性别不平等的原因和后果）。我的研究调查的具体配置的时间，事件，演员和机构，创造了有利的条件，女权主义政策的变化。然而，它指出旧制度的遗产和“工作方式”限制了妇女运动实现她们所渴望的那种变革的能力，从而使“女权主义成功”的叙述复杂化。帧和序列：我的研究有助于围绕政策变化的问题（见皮尔森，2000年a; 2000年b; 2004年），认为在政策制定过程中实施政策框架的顺序（或顺序）对加强或限制政策变化至关重要，影响未来的框架决策和政策方向。我指出了在苏格兰的情况下，政策框架的排序“事项”的方式，解释了一些政策框架是如何以及为什么嵌入在政策中，而另一些则是边线，以及政策决定对未来政策框架和拟议的解决方案的长期影响。反性别抵抗：我的研究模糊了苏格兰“成功故事”的叙述，强调了在制定家庭虐待问题方面的持续阻力。建立了一个广泛的经验时间轴和详细的跟踪政策和阻力随着时间的推移，它提供了第一个详细的帐户，如何，为什么和这种阻力已经出现，突出了三种机制的阻力：误解，制裁无知，和积极的抵抗。它提供了新的见解如何女权主义思想的争议和积极抵制及其对政策的变化和连续性的影响，无论是在现在和未来。妇女运动中的争论：我的研究探讨了家庭虐待的框架如何随着时间的推移在苏格兰妇女运动中受到质疑-被称为运动内部的争论（Benford和Snow，2000年; Benford，1997年）。以前的研究（麦凯，2010年）已经研究了单一的成功的妇女运动在苏格兰产生女权主义政策的变化，但我的研究指向两个持久的和相互关联的运动内的立场在苏格兰的情况下。我认为，在决策过程中的权力不平衡（重新）产生了少数幸存者的边缘化，影响政策的有效性。它强调了对政策变化感兴趣的学者关注运动内部的多样性和辩论的必要性。该奖学金提供了一个机会，使我的研究成果产生最大的影响，并建立了良好的出版记录，为我未来的学术生涯做好准备，与学术和非学术利益相关者建立密切联系。我的目标是发表两篇期刊文章，制定一本书的建议，并在学术和从业者会议上提出，有助于跨各个领域的知识（政策，性别和政治，基于性别的暴力）。我的目标是制作一个政策简报的交叉决策，我将推出在KEI事件，最大限度地发挥我的论文的现实世界的影响。我将通过机构访问，发展我的概念框架和手稿，建立新的网络和参加在爱丁堡的专业发展研讨会，发展我的研究和专业技能。最后，在与我的导师合作，我将制定长期奖学金的资助建议。这些目标将提高我的竞争力，并为我的学术生涯的下一阶段做好准备。
