You are cordially invited to the launch of Caitlin McMullin’s new book, Non-profit Organizations and Co-production: The Logics Shaping Professional and Citizen Collaboration on 12 January 2023 from 12:00 until 17:00.

The seminar will feature a presentation of the book and discussion with Sanna Tuurnas, Associate Professor of Public Management at the University of Vaasa. This will be followed by a presentation by Sanna about her own work on co-production in Finland. The event will also include lunch and a drinks reception.

Non-profit Organizations and Co-production: The Logics Shaping Professional and Citizen Collaboration develops a novel framework for analyzing the practices of co-production between citizens and professionals in the non-profit sector. Analysing organizations in three contexts (Sheffield, England; Lyon, France; and Montreal, Quebec, Canada), the book examines the international differences between non-profits, evidenced by the way that they variously blend or assimilate the logics of the market, state and community, and how this shapes the motivations for and approaches to co-production at the micro level in each context. This book presents a major step forward in comparative non-profit studies and the co-production of public services, speaking directly to contemporary debates around the nature of organizational hybridity, public service innovation and approaches to service user involvement.
