This edited volume presents new and original approaches to teaching
the French foreign-language curriculum, reconceptualizing the
French classroom through a more inclusive lens. The volume engages
with a broad range of scholars to facilitate an understanding of the
process of French (de)colonization as well as its reverberations into
the postcolonial era, and a deeper engagement with the
global interconnectedness of these processes. Chapters in Part I
revist the concept of the "francophonie," decenter the field from
“metropolitan” or “hexagonal” and white France
and underline how current teaching materials reproduce epistemic and
colonial violence. Part II adopts an intersectional approach to
address topics of gender inclusivity, trans-affirming teaching, queer
materials, and ableism. Finally, Part III presents new ways to
transform the discipline by affirming our commitment to social
justice andmaking sure that our classrooms are representative of our
students’ enriching diversity.
