Australian version of the Gothenburg system

Researchers at the Faculty of Social Sciences had the rare opportunity to listen to CEACG guest Australian social anthropologist Maggie Brady on Friday. Her work has involved fieldwork dealing with Indigenous health and land issues in different parts of the Australian continent.

In her new book “Teaching ‘Proper’ Drinking? Clubs And Pubs In Indigenous Australia” she describes the “spontaneous” North Australian version of the Gothenburg system of community owned hotels and bars that control drinking and revenues from selling alcohol in order to instill social order and safety.

The small seminar was arranged together with the journal Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (NAD).
