DR EARVIN CHARLES B. CABALQUINTO
I am a Lecturer in Communication in the School of Communication and Creative Arts (SCCA) at Deakin University. I am a member of the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation. I am an Honorary Visiting Fellow in the Humanities Research Centre at the Australian National University.
I was a Visiting Research Fellow in the Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care (CoE AgeCare) at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland in 2021. I was a Visiting Scholar in the Centre for Mobilities Research (CeMoRe) at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom in 2019.
I have held leadership roles across various scholarly organisations. I am the Social Media Editor of the Asian Journal of Communication. I also sit in the editorial board of a peer-reviewed and international academic journal, the International Journal of Cultural Studies.
My research expertise lies at the intersections of digital media, (im)mobilities and migration. More specifically, I am interested in examining the role of mobile devices and networked communication platforms in engendering and undermining transnational relationships, mediated intimacies, caregiving at a distance, crisis communication, and homeland linkages. As a digital media scholar, I engage with the possibilities, challenges, and paradoxes of digital media use across diverse contexts, including online content creation in a gig economy, ageing migrants' (im)mobility in a digital world, and sustaining familial relationships beyond borders in a platform society.
My research has been published in top peer-reviewed journals, including Mobile Media & Communication, Media Culture & Society, International Journal of Communication, Information Communication & Society and Communication, Culture and Critique, as well as in specialised edited book collections. Building on my PhD thesis, and which key contents have been further developed and enhanced through years of scholarly engagements, presentations and publications, my first sole-authored book, "(Im)mobile Homes: Family Life at a Distance in the Age of Mobile Media", is published under the Studies in Mobile Communication series of Oxford University Press (OUP). Moreover, I am also working on a collaborative book project (under contract) that seeks to unpack the role of YouTube in the brokering of social transactions in the Philippines. This work is part of its Asian Visual Culture Series of Amsterdam University Press (AUP).
