Writer in Residence
Every year, a Writer in Residence is appointed by VU Amsterdam to reflect on current issues facing the university as a social institution. The Writer-in-Residence Programme is concluded with a publication.

These publications aren’t for sale but only gifted as collector’s items in limited quantities. If you are interested in these publications, please send an e-mail with your motivation to info@vuuniversitypress.nl.
Désanne Van Brederode
“As a freelance writer, I chose the theme of the urge to play: an ability between our physical-emotional and intellectual-moral drives. According to the poet, (play)writer and thinker Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805), it is playing that makes people truly human - sensitive, imaginative, free. Instead of ’either/or’, not just ‘and/and’, but a lively, mobile middle space that we must continue to create ourselves. How? That is what I hope to investigate together with others this year. Sensually, imaginatively. Inspired, enthused, with fire!”, says van Brederode about her appointment.
