Professor Zitcer describes his personal and intellectual journey as a PhD student at Bloustein.&nbsp; He then discusses his dissertation concentration on cooperative ventures and gives details about what types of co-ops exist from food to health, who they serve and how they are a physical embodiement of deliberate, participatory democracy. Zitcer also talks to Stuart about his continued research on cooperatives with the two discussing his latest book,&nbsp;<u>Practicing Cooperative: Mutual Aid Beyond Capitalism</u>, which uses examples of co-ops in food provision, dance, and health care to illustrate the potential of this form of organization.
