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.
Interested in Désanne van Brederode’s publication? Then visit this year’s Abraham Kuyper Lecture. Would you like to read the works of other Writers in Residence? 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.

The Vrije Universiteit is a leader in ‘diversity’, in an attempt to find solutions to the problems that arise when views on people and society, morality and ethics clash. It probably sounds vague and multicultural (that seems to be a dirty word these days), but the approach to that concept of diversity is extremely pragmatic. So pragmatic that large companies in the nearby Zuidas are already appointing diversity managers. And that is very logical, because many young, talented immigrants graduate there and they are very popular with banks, insurance companies, law firms and the like. In order to prevent and solve social friction, people are needed who can put Isaiah Berlin’s value pluralism into practice.
