Réka Krizmanics will discuss her ongoing book project, entitled State Socialist Hungary and the Global South: A Herstory, which analyzes postwar Hungary’s increasing global interconnectedness through the histories of Hungarian women who came into contact with the Global South in various capacities. From medical professionals to “trailing housewives”, she examines the conditions of socialist mobility as they applied to women. Adopting an intersectional framework that integrates gender, race, and class, the book aims to show how women coproduced the image of and knowledge about the Global South, and when and how their gender influenced the outcome and perception of direct and indirect encounters.
RÉKA KRIZMANICS is an Akademische Rätin and DFG Walter Benjamin Postdoctoral Fellow at the Profile Area Global and Entangled History, Bielefeld University. Previously, she held a fellowship at the Imre Kertész Institute in Jena and worked as a lecturer at the University of Leipzig. Her current projects explore global and entangled women's histories of Eastern Europe and the Global South, with a focus on East and Southeast Asia.
