If you would like to learn the basics of the Catalan language, the Pompeu Fabra University from Barcelona (Catalonia's capital city) is offering this online beginner's course for free!

The course is taught in English and is made for people with no prior knowledge of Catalan (A1.1 level). Everyone can join it, you can be from any country in the world and you don't need to be a university student. The course lasts an average of 15 hours which participants can complete at their own pace during 5 weeks (there are no schedules for classes, you can watch the videos and do the exercises whenever you want) and you'll have a professor from this university who will help you. When you've completed the course, you will also get an official certificate.

Registration is now open for the second edition of this course, which starts on January 26th.

A professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra accompanies all participants to provide anything you might need and encourages participation. Over three weeks, you will gain a basic grounding in the Catalan language, but you will also acquire other knowledge. The course, by means of a fictional series and its characters, will allow you to immerse yourself in the heart of Barcelona. You’ll also learn a bit about Catalan cuisine, music and traditions.

Medical sociology is both a social science and a health science—it is one of the social scientific approaches to studying topics in health science. So, how is the sociological approach to studying topics in medicine, health, illness, and disability, distinct from other approaches to examining these topics?

Medical sociologists study health, illness, and healthcare, in terms of social problems and social factors. They are not looking at individual issues, nor are they interested in biological or cognitive factors independent of social factors.

Now, it’s important to note that social problems do, in fact, impact individuals, but sociologists aren’t interested in this impact to the individual as much as they’re interested in the shared impacts of social problems across groups of individuals. 

So, sociology is not always useful for understanding personal experience; however, sociological research can give insight as to whether your experience is similar to experiences of other people with shared characteristics. instead of asking something like, “why does this individual patient have this experience” the medical sociologist might instead ask, “are there characteristics shared by many patients with this experience which may predispose an individual to have said experience?” So, here, not asking why this individual patient has the experience, but why does this group of patients have this experience while another group does not.

Medical sociology demonstrates that things like likelihood of health or illness, experiences and perceptions of medicine, health, illness, and disability, who provides health care, how healthcare is provided, and to whom it is provided, and institutional aspects of the healthcare system itself, are not random, but instead, are shaped by social factors. Medical problems become social problems when they are shared by many individuals with some similar characteristic, experience, or circumstance.
