Brazilian migrants are one of the largest growing communities in Australia and are the most significant from all Latin American nations. The second Brazilian wave of migrants to Australia began in the late 1990’s, continuing throughout the 2000s in an upward trend. This migrant wave is predominantly of skilled migrants and international students. Drawing from 15 qualitative interviews conducted with Brazilian women in Sydney, New South Wales, Brazilian women’s experiences of gender, shift, adapt and are reshaped in Australian society. Brazil’s cultural Christianity and views towards religion, gender, the role of the family, race, and social reproduction are variables in shaping their identities in Australia. In this presentation, I will discuss Brazilian women’s experiences of “here and there” and how transnationalism plays a role in these women’s views on gender. I will analyse the role played by social media platforms and broader connections with “home” in reproducing gender roles and ideals of the “Brazilian family” away from its national borders. The transnational perspective highlights the hybridity of their lived experiences and how porous borders shape Brazilian women’s views on religion and family through an Australian-Brazilian viewpoint. This paper however, teases out how Australian multiculturalism challenges some deep seated views towards gender, the role of religion and family in shaping femininities and masculinities, with some Brazilians “changing more” or “changing less” depending on how open they are to new ways of living, and new ways to experience womanhood.
