Revising Domestic Reproductive Roles and Identities After Migration:
The case of professional Filipinas in Melbourne



Dr Cirila Limpangog

Abstract: This seminar will discuss the joint connivance of culturally imposed mothering modalities, husbands’ low carework support, and the painfully slow domestic gender role transformation in holding back the career rebuilding of professional immigrant Filipinas in Melbourne. In many respects the assumption of domestic roles previously assigned to maids constituted the most dramatic experiential change in the women’s daily lives, as it involved activities that had not previously impinged on the pursuit of their careers. It is argued that as a result of the women’s persistent strategizing, household work division does eventually become more egalitarian but not without major tensions. The women’s ambitions and career demands were important drivers in renegotiating the domestic realm.

BIO:  Cirila is a social development worker, women’s rights activist, and university lecturer. She currently teaches at RMIT’s Global, Urban and Social Studies.
