Just thought I would let people know I am going to be writing a thesis on co-production. I have not settled on a research problem or question, although I am guessing it will revolve around social capital or reciprocity and how social service agencies are not currently doing a very good job in these areas. The question would be something like, "Do co-production systems improve social capital and/or reciprocal relationships?"

Any questions or comments would be great. I am planning to be at the conference in November and hope to be a lot farther along at that point, but you never know, I have been known to slack Cool

I am putting this in the forums, because I would love to take this research in any direction that people feel strongly about. So if there is something about co-production that needs to be looked at a little closer please let me know.

Thanks,
Adam

How is your thesis going? I am new to time banking and work at an agency that is trying to do time banking within the agency. I'm coordinating this and it is very slow to get going. It's difficult getting staff to identify projects and its difficult getting members to sign up for them.
