Abstract

The purpose of this dossier was to privilege the dialogue between the social sciences and education, more specifically the scenarios of inequalities in educational opportunities that current research has been looking at. The scenarios of social and educational inequalities are portrayed in the selected articles and bring several elements still relevant in the process of production and reproduction of these inequalities, such as characteristics of origin and characteristics of the individuals and groups surveyed. Finally, the present work will point out ways to think about those that, even with advances in the scope of educational policies, there are still social edges that need to be overcome in order to have a more just and democratic society.
