Judith Marcuse taught a day-long workshop in January, 2009, for the students of Simon Fraser University’s innovative Semester in Dialogue program. The current term’s program is called Designing the Future. Also in January, Judith was part of a dialogue with students in the SFU certificate program in Sustainable Community Development.
