The keynote presents results from research investigating the relational dynamics underpinning the denunciations provided in testimonies relating to a Canadian political scandal. Grund uses relational event models to test hypotheses about the social mechanisms driving the denunciations. Although denunciation should depend only on who is guilty and not on who has said what up to that point, Grund\u2019s study finds evidence in support of a number of relational mechanisms influencing the denunciation process. Grund argues that the apparent influence of past denunciations on testimonies reveals the limits of the inquiry process itself and what it can reveal about a scandal. This article reviews Grund\u2019s talk and puts the work in a broader context of using approaches rooted in event history modelling and social network theory to illuminate the processes defining social interaction data. It highlights ways in which the keynote can inform the development of computational social science approaches to analysing such data, and argues that the value of such an analysis has implications for scholarship beyond the social sciences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1140\/epjds\/s13688-023-00432-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]],"date-time":"2024-01-11T09:04:18Z","timestamp":1704963858000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["What relational event models can reveal: Commentary on Thomas Grund\u2019s \u201cDynamics of Denunciation: The Limits of a Scandal\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1140","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4040-394X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pete","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"432_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/9781108866804","volume-title":"The network turn: changing perspectives in the humanities","author":"R Ahnert","year":"2020","unstructured":"Ahnert R, Ahnert SE, Coleman CN, Weingart SB (2020) The network turn: changing perspectives in the humanities.
