Obviously that I was so happy at Etmaal with my colleagues :D

Media Culture & Policy Lab @mediaculturepollab.bsky.social · Feb 17

Our lab had the honor of organising the annual Etmaal van de Communicatiewetenschap, as part of the KU Leuven Department of Communication Sciences. As a result, we were not only visitors, but also presenters, chairs, and co-organisers of #Etmaal2025 💪. Already looking forward to next year's edition!

At #Etmaal2025, there were no less than 13 presentations by our research team! We discussed gaming and gambling, refugees and discrimination, arts, Islamophobia, data-driven healthcare, digital literacy, mental health, and everything in between. Check out all presentations below!

This Monday, I presented my work about Chinese vloggers' mental health @etmaal2025.bsky.social in Bruges! Fantastic view, warm vibe, and a fruitful experience! Thanks a lot for my colleagues' hard work in hosting this conference. Checked out more studies presented by my colleagues #Etmaal2025

As promised, a reading list about Xiaohongshu is available now with the help of many Chinese social media researchers: qianxeniahuang.super.site/resources/xi.... Special thanks to @carwynmorris.bsky.social for co-editing this. I am only hosting this on my personal website for logistic reasons.
