Karolina and Lise-Lore stand side by side outdoors against a stone wall, smiling at the camera. Karolina wears a black top and jeans, with arms crossed, while Lise-Lore wears a bright blue blouse and black trousers. The photo conveys a friendly and professional atmosphere.

Karolina Garančovská presents in a classroom, standing beside a projection slide titled “Crisis all around? Crisisification of the EU Institutional Discourse.” She gestures while speaking, wearing a light grey sweater and black trousers. A chalkboard and classroom lights are visible in the background.

Lise-Lore Steeman stands at the front of a classroom giving a presentation titled “From Bias to Balance: Examining media representations, public attitudes and campaigns in understanding discrimination.” She is smiling, wearing a bright blue blouse, and standing in front of a projected slide and a chalkboard filled with math formulas.

We currently have the pleasure of hosting Karolina Garančovská & @lise-loresteeman.bsky.social for a research stay at the CCL!

Both presented their fascinating ongoing work – from EU crisis communication to media representations & discrimination. 🧩

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!

Hi fellow Bluesky-ers, this is the place to be! Bluesky will be our platform of choice for all #Etmaal2025 updates. Be part of the Etmaal Bluesky community during the conference by using our hashtag #Etmaal2025!

Excited to announce our OA Special Issue on ‘Evaluating and Enhancing Media Literacy and Digital Skills’ with evidence & scope reviews, effectiveness of interventions, reflections on tools & performance tests👇🏻

We encourage the #Etmaal2025 community to continue our engaging discussions in a space in line with our academic values. Therefore, we will gradually switch from X to BlueSky. Up until the conference, we will cross-post all information. During the conference, we will only use Bluesky (1/2)
