Writer in Residence 

We host an annual Dutch Writer in Residence programme. The scheme engages with students as well as staff, and actively contributes to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.

The scheme is funded by the Nederlands Letterenfonds (Amsterdam). It allows a Dutch or a Flemish writer, whose work has been translated into English, to spend up to six weeks at UCL, on an annual basis.

The department is also the editorial base for the long-standing and award-winning international research journal on interdisciplinary Low Countries Studies, Dutch Crossing: Journal of Low Countries Studies.
