Rachel Bratt received a Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Planning from MIT in
1976. Since then she has been a professor in the Department
of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University.
From 1995 to 2001 she served as chair of the department.

She is currently co-editing a new book, Housing: Foundation of a New Social Agenda, also to be published by Temple. This book argues that it is time for the United States to embrace and implement policies that would give all its residents "A Right to Housing."
