Summary: Brazil experienced since the end of the 20th century an important transformation in its education system. This process included the development and expansion of its higher education system as well as internationalization through investment in the international mobility of Brazilian students. This is in line with global trends on the internationalization of higher education. However, Brazil is also among the countries with higher inequalities. Both migration and education are shaped by social class inequalities however, little is actually known about the influence of class belonging in patterns of international student mobility. Focusing on the case of Brazilian higher education students in Portugal – one of their main destinations – this article examines the role of social class inequalities in international student mobility. Drawing on data collected through interviews with higher education representatives in Portugal and a survey and interviews with Brazilian students in Portugal, we are able to identify how the context of inequalities in Brazil contributes to shape both higher education trajectories (namely in the distinctions between attending private or state institutions) as well as the process and experience of international mobility in Portugal. Very importantly, we highlight the role of the political context in Brazil, including the phase of strong public investment in the fields of higher education and international student mobility and hint some changes following the impeachment of former president Dilma Roussef.

Ce processus comprenait le développement et l’expansion de son système d’enseignement supérieur ainsi que l’internationalisation à travers l’investissement dans la mobilité internationale des étudiants brésiliens. Ceci est en ligne avec les tendances mondiales sur l’internationalisation de l’enseignement supérieur. Cependant, le Brésil est également un des pays avec des inégalités très élevées. La migration et l’éducation sont toutes deux façonnées par les inégalités de classes sociales, mais l’influence de l’appartenance de classe dans les modèles de mobilité internationale des étudiants est encore peu connue. En se concentrant sur le cas des étudiants brésiliens de l’enseignement supérieur au Portugal - l’une de leurs principales destinations - cet article examine le rôle des inégalités sociales dans la mobilité internationale des étudiants. Sur la base de données collectées lors d’entretiens avec des représentants de l’enseignement supérieur au Portugal et d’une enquête et d’entretiens auprès d’étudiants brésiliens au Portugal, nous pouvons identifier comment le contexte des inégalités au Brésil contribue à façonner les trajectoires de l’enseignement supérieur (notamment les distinctions entre relever d'institutions privées ou étatiques) ainsi que le processus et l’expérience de la mobilité internationale au Portugal. Très important, nous soulignons le rôle du contexte politique au Brésil, en particulier la phase d’investissements publics forts dans les domaines de l’enseignement supérieur et de la mobilité internationale des étudiants, et laissons entrevoir quelques changements suite à la destitution de la présidente Dilma Roussef.National Committee of Geography of Belgium, Société Royale Belge de GéographieRepositório da Universidade de LisboaChatti Iorio, JulianaPereira, Sónia2019-07-04T16:05:58Z20182018-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/38958engChatti Iorio, Juliana & Pereira, Sónia.
