Thanks to the organizers Suzanne Reichl and Ute Smit and to Petra Herczeg for the opportunity!

Its gatherings like these, where many scholars present their own perspectives on media literacy, that add to my believe that interdisciplinary insights are necessary and relevant!

When and where:

Friday, 12pm, capitol 4, regency
-> my recent theoretical work on social context #swisscheese

Monday, 12pm, mt. Blue sky, grant hyatt
-> first presentation on friend similarity in social media behaviours
-> second presentation on reimagining social media literacy

Very interesting results! 😊 thanks for this valuable research!

But first, I’ll be @etmaal2025.bsky.social in Bruges, presenting my latest research on the role of #friendships in adolescent social media behavior. Looking forward to insightful discussions and connecting with fellow researchers!

What is social context? @evatelzer.bsky.social and I explore this in a soon-to-be-published @journal-of-comm.bsky.social paper (stay tuned), highlighting its role across platforms, social environments, and individual (neuro)susceptibility—showing why social media’s effects aren’t one-size-fits-all 🌟

Thanks to co-organizers Sofie Vranken, Gaëlle Ouvrein, @pauliendecorte.bsky.social, @martinjansen.bsky.social , Tilo Hartmann, Thalia Van Wichelen, Anne Sadza, Chiara de Jong, Tom de Leyn, @laraschreurs.bsky.social, @ambervdwal.bsky.social
