Senior Research Fellow
Julie Rugg joined the Centre for Housing Policy in January 1993. Her 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, the operation and impact of statutory agencies which aim to regulate the sector, the use made by the PRS of housing charities and the ways in which commercial enterprises frame opportunities within the rental sector.
Julie also has an interest in cemeteries and funeral practices, and further information can be found on the Cemetery Research Group pages.
