For the course project, I made a video essay where I invite you to think about the motivation behind your media consumption habits under the influence of nostalgia: is it because the content is actually good, or is it just familiar?
For some reason I cannot embed the URL (from both YouTube and Leiden’s Video Portal), but here is a picture of the thumbnail and you can find the links right below it:

I hope this provides you with some insights! Let me know your thoughts in the comments 🙂
