Literature have offered th eoretical and empirical insights to understand the scope of the problem of educational inequality and its effects on individuals and society. Howeve r\, the problem of inequalities under both a multidimensional and intersec tional perspective has been comparatively less explored.\nThis paper is ba sed on qualitative data that I have collected for a study that explores ho w inequalities are lived and contested in school settings. Theoretically\, this paper draws on the cultural reproduction theory (Bourdieu &\; Pas seron\, 1990)\, particularly the links between different forms of capital and schooling (Lareau\, 1987\; Reay\, 2004\; Davey\, 2009\; Forbes &\; Lingard\, 2015). With a feminist and poststructural framework\, this paper also employs the concept of everyday schooling to understand how teachers and students navigate routine barriers in the formal and informal school (Gordon\, et al.\, 2000\; Gordon\, 1996). Methodologically\, the study has adopted an ethnography approach to explore students´ everyday experience s within the school. Participant observations were conducted over 7 months in four schools (from Santiago and Coyhaique). Focus groups and semi-stru ctured interviews were conducted with 30 students from those schools.\nRes ults locate social structures as having a central place in shaping the sch ooling system in Chile. Particularly\, the gender gap is not only a proble m of access to education\, nor is it only a problem of dissimilar outcomes between girls and boys. Findings of the study show gender inequalities – in intersection with other social divisions- are (re)produced and well -maintained in everyday school. Such experiences are observed in multiple ways\, for example\, how teaching is done\, the interactions between teach ers with boys and girls and peer interactions (between students) too. More over\, I argue that although the gender gap can emerge within the classroo m\, it also can be resisted by those who are part of the school system.\nT ake a look at CIE's full event schedule here ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ukfiet.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/1 0/CIE-Autumn-schedule.jpg CATEGORIES:Seminar,Webinar END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
