What is Pedagogies of Love

Chapter 6
Integrating Social Justice Education in Teacher Preparation Programs
Based on Freirean principles, pedagogies of love include liberatory teaching that is rooted in mutual humanization, radical love, and the belief that students are embodied, whole beings who are active participants in the process of knowledge making. Teachers who embrace pedagogies of love illuminate reality and consequently strive to transform society alongside their students. Love is seen as an act of courage that awakens our passion and capacity to dream, reimagine, and transform together ( Darder, 2017 ).

Abstract
This chapter examines how an experiential education (EE) program in rural Fiji provided rich experiences for social justice teaching and learning in the context of a teacher preparation program. This chapter discusses the instructor's lived experiences, positionality, and commitment to social justice work that propel a desire to create classrooms that are sites of transformation. The primary aspects of social justice teaching and learning discussed include the creation of spaces for critical consciousness to emerge and an embracement of pedagogies of love in the context of the EE program. This chapter concludes with the instructor's continued commitment embodying a social justice agenda in classroom spaces and beyond through a lifetime commitment to this work through hopeful, patiently impatient praxis.
