Jesús Javier Gómez Alonso (1952–2006), whose nickname is Pato, was a professor in the Department of Methods of Research and Diagnosis in Education at the University of Barcelona, and a researcher in the Centre of Research in Theories and Practices that Overcome Inequalities (CREA). Among his scientific contributions, it is worth to mention his dedication to the development of the critical communicative methodology, as well as his research and social action with the Romani people. He was also a key contributor to the development of the transformative educational project called ''Learning Communities''. But his main academic contribution was the development of the research line on preventive socialization of gender violence, with the ultimate aim of eliminating gender violence in society. Jesús Gómez was the founder and president of the Ujaranza foundation, now called Jesus Gómez Foundation.〔(Jesús Gómez Foundation ), retrieved 10 September 2009〕 In addition, his theoretical analysis of love constitutes one of the bases of the work on the prevention of gender violence carried out by SAFO, the Women’s Group at CREA〔The Women’s group at CREA, (Safo Women Group ), retrieved 10 September 2009〕 work on the prevention of gender violence. ==Biography== Gómez was born in Bilbao. He enrolled in the clandestine movement against Franco's dictatorship, together with his friends Ramon Flecha and Iñaki Santacruz. In 1972, the three of them were expelled from an exclusive Business School in Bilbao due to their involvement in the democratic movements. Afterward, they moved to Barcelona. During the political transition, Gómez was a member of the anarchist trade union CNT (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo), and was the representative of the workers of the hospital where he was an administrative. There, he led a movement for the transformation of the hospital into a public health institution. In 1992, after working in several companies, he became a professor at the University of Barcelona. He met his wife, the feminist scholar Lídia Puigvert, and established a close friendship with Paulo Freire. He also made friends like Donaldo Macedo, Nita Freire, Basil Bernstein, Henry Giroux, Henry Levin, Ulrich Beck, Joe L. Kincheloe, Shirley R. Steinberg and Peter McLaren. In 2003, Gómez received lung cancer. It was quickly discovered and removed. Gómez’s research program on preventive socialization of gender violence and, overall, his scientific work on love was key for SAFO, the women’s studies group at CREA, to develop its research line on the prevention of gender violence. Gomez’s support to SAFO for pursuing a line of research on gender violence has caused continuous attacks to Gómez himself, CREA (The Centre of Research in Theories and Practices that Overcome Inequalities) and to other members of CREA. According to the Gómez Foundation, given the continuous attacks, Gómez could not have the peace he needed for his recovery. Even when an international campaign of solidarity with CREA was organized,〔(International Campaign of Solidarity with CREA ), retrieved 10 September 2009.〕 the attacks did not stop. A metastasis in the liver led to his to death on August 8, 2006〔(Biography of Jesús Gómez ), retrieved 10 September 2009〕 in Barcelona. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesús Gómez Alonso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
