Teaching Trans Knowledges: Situating Expansive Possibilities in an Intermediate French Course

As a part of a long historical arc, educators are increasingly recognizing the critical impetus to engage with gender in expansive ways.

This chapter builds upon broad starter-kit approaches to address continued challenges in applying trans knowledges to the everyday by guiding readers through a series of concrete pedagogical choices that span a semester-long, intermediate-level course, beginning with the syllabus and continuing on through myriad moments where gender is or can be made relevant to teaching, learning, and using French.
