DR EARVIN CHARLES CABALQUINTO
I am a Lecturer in Communication in the School of Communication and Creative Arts (SCCA) at Deakin University. I was a Visiting Scholar in the Centre for Mobilities Research (Cemore) at Lancaster University in June 2019. I am a member of the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation. Further, I am one of the convenors of the Asia-Pacific Digital Culture & Society in Melbourne, Australia. I am also a board member of the Asian Australian Studies Research Network (AASRN) in Melbourne, Australia. I am the Social Media Editor of the Asian Journal of Communication. I am an editorial board member of the International Journal of Cultural Studies. Lastly, I am part of the Research Committee of the School of Communication and Creative Arts (SCCA) at Deakin University.
My research expertise lies at the intersections of digital media, 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 also engage with the nuances and politics of digital media use across diverse contexts, including the lived experiences of ageing migrants in navigating intersecting crisis, mobilisation of interracial relationships, the mediation of professional carework, as well as control and surveillance in networked spaces.
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 Telematics and Informatics, as well as in edited book collections. I am currently working on my first book based on my PhD thesis. The book is under contract with Oxford University Press. Moreover, I am also working on a collaborative book project that seeks to unpack the role of YouTube in the brokering of social transactions in the Philippines. This work is under contract with Amsterdam University Press as part of its Asian Visual Culture Series.
