Dr. Janet Jock

Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Auburn University 

Biography 
 

My mixed-methods approach lies in understanding the quality, performance, and impact of nongovernmental and governmental service provision of social programs positing my research at the crossroads of nonprofit and public management, policy analysis, and international development.

I am also interested in how governmental and non-governmental stakeholders engage with service recipients in the decision-making and coordination of public goods provision and the mechanisms behind differential impacts by service provider type and socio-demographic characteristics.
