Abstract

This chapter honors the memory of Jesus “Pato” Gomez, a beloved and respected colleague who, similarly to Paulo Freire, focused on the revolutionary potential of love to equalize asymmetrical power relations among human beings. Pato’s focus on love was particularly appropriate, given his tremendous individual capacity for love, empathy, and solidarity in both his personal life and his professional work. In his book, El Amor en la Sociedad del Riesgo (Love in a High-Risk Society), Pato shared his research on adolescents’ relationships. He investigated how to help adolescents develop the critical consciousness they need to reject abusive and dehumanizing relationships and consciously create those that are affirming and empowering. Pato interrogated the popular cultural notion that love somehow occurs magically and that human beings are powerless when it strikes even when the relationship is oppressive and psychologically unhealthy for one or both partners. His work focused on helping adolescent students develop the political and ideological clarity necessary to distinguish oppressive and subordinating love from love that is psychologically healthy, liberating, and affirming of one’s humanity. Drawing on his research, Pato described the basic skills young adults need to develop. One of these skills, “linking love to equality,” is especially relevant to my own research on increasing teacher political and ideological clarity. a Competency in this area requires adolescents to recognize power hierarchies in society and learn how they are manifested in personal relationships.
