Writer-in-residence: Gerd Laugesen

The purpose of the Writers-in-Residence programme is to support the author's literary talent development and mutual inspiration and cooperation with the department's researchers and students.

“I will use the next two years immersing myself in my own writing, and together with researchers and students, find new ways of writing. We must nurture basic literary research and writing across disciplines and genres. This will open up literature, including for my authorship – it will build bridges. I’m looking forward to returning to the university environment. It’s a very special opportunity. I’m extremely grateful and proud.” - Gerd Laugesen
