This paper aims to present some theoretical issues currently emerging in educational research on intercultural training of teachers and educators. The paper starts by briefly presenting some theoretical backgrounds of current intercultural education research, with special reference to the field of intersectionality studies.
It will then proceed to highlight the relevance of drawing on a postcolonial critical perspective in dealing with educational research within socio-culturally complex environments. To conclude, the paper will try to outline some possible educational perspectives aiming to enhance the inclusive character of socially and culturally
complex training contexts.
