      abstract = {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 and making sure that our classrooms are  representative of our students enriching diversity.
