Banlieues to the Suburbs: World Language Education and Linguistic Gentrification

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: In this “reflection on the field,” I use critical auto‐ethnography to reflect on the process of bringing urban French vernacular to New England suburbs. I analyze teaching vernacular language as linguistic gentrification, using other people’s words for the construction and continual performance of cosmopolitan whiteness. As I reflect on moving from cosmopolitan desires to critical awareness I share how my own identity is entangled in this process.
