Cardemcat, episode 4: stigma
Have you ever wondered what a chill is? Do you know what chemsex is? We will talk about it with Òscar Cano, the guest of the fourth episode, “Cardem amb els estigmes”. We’ll also answer a very specific sexual question and read a text from one of our most beloved anonymous followers: supermarket boy, who will help us to suggest alternatives in Catalan for words like creampie, gloryhole and flip-flop, among others.
Act of recognition of trade unionists repressed by Franco’s regime
This year’s Remembrance Day, hosted by journalist Neus Bonet, focused on the trajectory of a key movement in the struggle for individual and collective freedoms in Catalonia: trade unionism. Mayayo, who explained the importance of trade unions, at one point in his speech recalled the figure of the historian Josep Termes, who said that “Catalonia was more a country of trade unions than of political parties”.
Leading research experts in Europe
On the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, three female experts explain their research studies and the importance of the European dimension in the work they do daily. They are leaders in their respective fields of research: Carla Marín, in particle physics; Ana Moragues, in the analysis of food as a major social fact, and Marta Sánchez, in the study of prehistoric mobility in the Pyrenees through the analysis of flint.
New ways of learning, at the Faculty of Law
This year, the Faculty of Law of the University of Barcelona has launched a strategic project, known as Ciceró, to innovate teaching on the bachelor’s degree in Law.

Ten successful years of Els Vespres d'Hivern
Ten years ago, Rosalia entered the Paranymph Hall to give the first concert of the first edition of Els Vespres d’Hivern at the University of Barcelona. To review the best of these years, we invited Lourdes Sesma, head of Corporate Image and Marketing at the UB and mother of the child. In addition, Lucia Fumero and Marc Vilajuana, who are performing in this edition, give us a taste of what their concert will be like.
Talking about food risks with Cristina Larrea
Cristina Larrea, professor of Social Anthropology, analyses the risks that derive from food: from its production to its consumption. We will look at the economic and political conditioning factors that persist and encourage the use of intoxicating chemicals in food production and how they affect the human body.
