Abstract
This dissertation is a critical feminist and ethnographic study of love as pedagogy and politics for social justice at a public charter high school ("Bay Grove High School") in a small working-class city in the California Bay Area ("Bay Grove"). This study is based on approximately four years of fieldwork as an educator-researcher from the fall of 2014 to the spring of 2018. The youth in this study identified with the African, Latinx, and Polynesian diasporas. In each chapter, I engaged in ethnographic, grounded theory building based on over 1,000 hours of teaching, participant observation, and sociolinguistic data collection. Operating from a critical feminist approach to research, I examined what love looks like empirically and in practice, while advancing current, state of the art theory on love in the tradition of critical and asset-based pedagogies, Black and Chicanx/Latinx Feminism, Black theology, and affect theory. I argue that this study reveals how we need to further consider how movements for social justice are built, sustained, and revitalized by the deep bonds, relationships, and mutual understandings forged through love in our pedagogies.
