About the show

Professor Zack Moir (Edinburgh Napier University) asks whether universities deliver the bright futures they promise. Through arts education, he explores how students are encouraged to imagine change, yet often trained to fit broken systems. 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?
