Two of De La Salle University’s research projects on digital labor in the global South have received top honors in this year’s virtual conference for the International Communication Association (ICA), one of the most prestigious professional organizations in the field of media and communication.
Department of Communication faculty members Dr. Cheryll Ruth Soriano and Dr. Jason Vincent Cabañes have won the Top Faculty Paper Award for ICA’s Philosophy, Theory, and Critique (PTC) Division. This is for their co-authored paper “Entrepreneurial Solidarities: Social media collectives and Filipino digital platform workers”, which comes out of a project funded by DLSU’s University Research Coordinating Office (URCO).
DLSU MA Communication graduate Joy Hannah Panaligan has also won the Interactive Poster Award for ICA’s Ethnicity and Race in Communication (ERIC) Division. This is for her submission “Exploring the experience of Filipino online English language teachers in the platform economy”.
