About PUG
At the Politics and Urban Governance Research Group (PUG), we connect research on urban politics to the lived experiences of citizens with a commitment to integrity, collaboration and social impact. We aim to build a platform to expand opportunities for collaborative international research and publishing by linking citizen organisations and research. Additionally, PUG aims to provide opportunities for emerging scholars and post-graduate students to develop research experience and networks, embedding research in post-graduate teaching.
