Adjunct Associate Professor
Emma Baulch
This person does not currently hold a position at QUT.
Biography
I study Indonesian media and popular culture from the perspective of everyday life. I am especially interested in the role media technologies play in the way people communicate and form communities. My PhD was a study of the role electric guitars played in shaping communities of amateur musicians in Bali in the late-1990s. My postdoctoral work examined how television and digital technologies influence the formation of pop music genres. I have an adjunct position at QUT and an ongoing position at Monash University Malaysia. There, my teaching and research activities examine the socio-historical implications of the spread of mobile phones, by considering the multiple layers and variants of power and capital they mediate.Personal details
