EMILY NOELLE IGNACIO is an assistant professor of sociology at Loyola University in Chicago. She has published articles on the effect of media technologies on communities in the Sociological Quarterly, Journal of the American Society for Information Science, and Library Trends.
Building Diaspora heralds an important development in cultural
studies, ethnic studies, the sociology of media, and globalization.
Emily Ignacio brings an extended, incisive empirical investigation
that is still quite rare in the theory-heavy yet data-light field
of cyberspace cultural studies. She carefully crafts a framework in
which to showcase the itinerant ideas and desires of Filipinos
talking to each other from various geographical locations.
