MSCA Project Blog | GWZO This blog accompanies the MSCA research project »Women’s Politics and Postwar Reconstruction in Romania« by Alexandra Ghiț. How did women politicians and grassroots activists shape the postwar remaking of key political fields? RECKON will investigate the gendered transformation of public health, labour, foreign affairs and culture after World War II, with a focus on Romania 1944–1948.It regularly features reflection pieces that provide insights into ongoing research, prefiguring interpretative lines and offering a glimpse of the findings to be unpacked in longer-format publications. The blog and the research project are funded by the European Union under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA).
