#DDFC is a collective of language scholar-educators & learners in French & Francophone Studies who are committed to challenging oppression in all of its forms. We're built by & for those marginalized in & by our field. Repost & follow to help us (re)connect with people who share our commitments? 🤍

DDFC Mission
We, the Diversity, Decolonization, & the French Curriculum (DDFC), are a collective of scholars, educators, and learners who aim to challenge –through our teaching, scholarship, and service– oppression in all its forms, in the classroom and beyond. We reject:

Racialization: encompassing racism, anti-Black sentiments, color biases, ethnic cleansing, settler colonial legacies, erasure of Indigenous cultures, and the reinforcement of white supremacy;
Regimes of embodiment: dictating normative expectations around gender, sexuality, and ability that restrict possibilities and reify binaries, (cis)sexism, homophobia, and ableism;
Regulation of modes of expression: manifested in language biases, discrimination based on accents, native speakerism, suppression of non-dominant languages, and emphasis on academic pedigree;
Socio-economic disparities and hierarchies: established through distinctions in class, caste systems, educational hierarchies, and reflected in wealth gaps, burdens of debt, cycles of poverty, systemic precarity, competitive mindset driven by neoliberalism, the glorification of meritocracy, and the devaluation of certain skills;
Systems of civic order: shaped by concepts like citizenship, nationalism, vulnerability linked to legal status, and the propagation of fear targeting minoritized communities.

We are committed to actively combatting the perpetuation of these inequalities through fostering equity, dismantling systemic barriers, promoting inclusivity, and supporting bodily autonomy and a right to self-definition.
