As I researcher I have explored the many ways in which social structures produce and reproduce inequalities in its many forms. My experience as a Lecturer at the City College of New York (CCNY) – and previously as a Teaching Assistant at my home country (Brazil) – has highlighted, through my students’ individual experiences and specific hardships, the issues that I observe in the aggregate in my own research. In the field of Sociology of Education there is much debate about how school systems can be sites of promotion of equality. My research and teaching experience have challenged me with trying to find ways to make the classroom a space to promote equality instead of perpetuating inequalities – which we only too commonly still see to be the case in higher education.
