SUMMARY:

This work's main objective is to analyze how the decolonial thinking of the modernity/coloniality group can be an interdisciplinary theme for the teaching of history and geography. To this end, the aim is, firstly, to understand the origins, criticisms and fundamental characteristics of the decolonial thinking of the modernity/coloniality group, in order to analyze how it can present potential for teaching history and geography, especially through criticism of the eurocentrism of periodizations and regionalizations used in teaching these subjects. The expression “the turn at the center” thus reveals the proposal that the decolonial turn can be analyzed both by teaching history and by teaching geography, so that decolonial thinking can be placed at the “center” of the teaching of these disciplines , at the same time that it can cause a “turn”, a turnaround, a change in them, precisely because it calls into question some eurocentric foundations that define them. The aim is, therefore, to critically tension the way in which history and geography can dialogue, with decoloniality as the guiding thread of such tension, in defense of the promotion of interdisciplinarity and the fight against eurocentrism. Finally, as a form of product, we will propose an interdisciplinary didactic sequence, around the “decolonial turn” and based on “thematic history”.
