Visiting Fellowship 2025/26 (October 1, 2025 – October 15, 2025)

Marta Baradić is a doctoral candidate in Comparative Gender Studies at Central European University. Her dissertation project “Giuseppina Martinuzzi (1844–1925): Activist and Intellectual at the Crossroads of Women’s Movements, Nationalism, and Working-Class Movements” examines the political biography, activism, and intellectual legacy of Giuseppina Martinuzzi, a prominent Istrian and Triestine social and political activist, journalist, editor, writer, and teacher active in the Northern Adriatic borderland in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She holds a BA in Cultural Studies and an MA in Comparative Literature. Baradić is also the founder of Kino Katarina, a feminist open-air cinema project.

Statement of interest

The opportunity to conduct research at INZ offers a chance to deepen the regional and transnational dimensions of my project and advance my dissertation. I am especially interested in the Institute’s resources on early 20th-century political culture, thought, and social movements in Central and Southeastern Europe, which are vital for understanding networks of activism and intellectual exchange. During my stay, I aim to explore possible connections between Giuseppina Martinuzzi and Slovene intellectuals and activists. I am also drawn to INZ’s strong academic environment and interdisciplinary community, which closely aligns with my interests in women’s and gender history, history of political thought, nationalism, borderland studies, and history of social movements.
