Despite growing demographic diversity among French-speaking newcomers to Canada, as well as recent curricular changes at the provincial level, many French as a Second Language (FSL) classrooms in Ontario remain grounded in Eurocentric norms. This article explores superficial gestures of inclusion in the classroom that mask deeper systemic exclusion, thus hindering the success of underrepresented students. We examine how current institutional paradigms and pedagogical practices tend to tokenize non-European voices, romanticize the notion of la Francophonie, and reinforce colonial hierarchies of power. In response, we propose practical strategies and critical frameworks to support educators in moving beyond performative diversity toward meaningful, anti-oppressive inclusion. By centering collective educator self-reflection and a fundamental reimagining of French language education, the piece invites Ontario educators and policymakers to re-envision the FSL classroom as a transformative, intercultural space rooted in critical inquiry, plurilingual identity affirmation, and global equity.

This article examines the different types of sexual violence inflicted on enslaved females who were captured during the War of Candia (1645–69). Women and girls constituted an exceptionally high percentage of the individuals enslaved in the course of this religiously justified war. Many of the captured Muslims were trafficked to Catholic Europe, where they were subjected to various forms of sexual exploitation. Yet this article suggests that the prolonged conflict also gave rise to Italian slavers’ sexual violence against enslaved females who were, in fact, not Muslims. It then illuminates the role that religious affiliation actually played in shaping local reactions to the rapes, as well as the responses of Church and state authorities to supplications asking to liberate the survivors of repeated sexual abuse. Finally, the article argues that taking sexual violence into consideration complicates our understanding of early modern Mediterranean enslavement, its motivations, and its implications.
