Abstract

The present article is based on a post-colonial multicultural approach. It argues that a stronger link between studies dealing with multiculturalism and those that delve into educational research could enhance discussion both on multiculturalism and on educational research itself, understood as a narrative, a discourse produced within unequal power relations and plural cultural perspectives. It discusses possibilities for such an articulation and analyses the curriculum in action developed within the context of a subject about Multiculturalism in Education, delivered within a Teacher Education course in a public University in Brazil. Data suggest potentials and challenges in the area and point to possible perspectives of study within multiculturalism and educational research in teacher education.
