Biography
Julie Rugg started working at the University in 1991. Her work is focussed on policy evaluation and principal areas of expertise include the private rented sector (PRS), housing assistance within the welfare system and qualitative analysis of housing behaviours. She is particularly interested in the ways the PRS functions as a ‘complex system’, and her work seeks to understand characteristics of rental sub-markets, the behaviours of tenants and landlords, and the operation and impact of enforcement activity. She is currently leading a large ESRC-funded project ‘Understanding criminality in the private rented sector and co producing solutions’.
Julie has also published extensively on cemeteries and funeral practice and is Director of the Cemetery Research Group. Further information can be found Cemetery Research Group
