Isi artikel

This article presents an analysis of the political consciousness and commitments of six gender equity coordinators who served in the same public agency in the United States during a 20-year period in an effort to contribute knowledge about the people who institute movement-inspired laws and the diverse ways in which they come to understand their mandates and the organizational and political milieus within which they work. The author’s findings corroborate existing research indicating that bureaucrats have considerable autonomy to interpret equity law and vary in their approaches. Most significantly, the author shows the ways in which individuals’ commitment to movement ideals can deepen (rather than abate) in the course of working as equity bureaucrats.
