Professor Zack Moir (Edinburgh Napier University) asks whether universities deliver the bright futures they promise.

How might higher education nurture justice, collaboration and better futures instead? Alcohol-free nightlife is an oxymoron to many. But why do we rely on alcohol as a social lubricant? Beth Meadows (Glasgow Caledonian University) asks why are some groups (e.g. LGBTQIA+ communities) at greater risk of alcohol related harms, and what could an alcohol-free nightlife culture mean?
