AI generated summary of the talk:

This was the fourth talk in the HNR online seminar series, where Minja Bujakovic presented her historical network research on the continuity between socialist and communist women’s movements from 1906 to 1920. Minja analyzed a network of 77 activists using three types of ties: event participation, personal connections, and same-party membership, revealing how the communist women’s movement emerged from pre-existing socialist networks rather than starting from scratch. She identified three phases of network development, including growth, wartime radicalization, and partition, with findings showing that 61% of women who joined communist movements had experienced state repression compared to 20% of those who remained in socialist movements.

The Q&A section focused mainly on Minja Bujakovic’s network model, visualization choices, temporality, and plans for public dissemination.
