This research of bibliographical nature analyzes some epistemological and methodological foundations with the objective of understanding their contributions to the realization of an intercultural education. The qualitative methodology is used with the documentary analysis resource and the technical procedure of triangulation of data collected from the following sources: Laws and Decrees of Higher Education (BRASIL, 2010, 2014), statistical data and indexes from INEP/MEC, UNESCO, scientific journals, among others. The analysis is based on the different theoretical models of interculturality of Boaventura Sousa Santos and Catherine Walsh. It is concluded that the new epistemological and methodological foundations in Higher Education allow opportunities for social and ethnic-racial inclusion, which can contribute to the reduction of inequalities and discriminations, with a view to equitable opportunities in the various spheres of social relations.
