Writer in residence
Writer in residence
 
['raitə in 'rezɪdəns, englisch], Poet in residence ['pəʊɪt-], an zahlreichen nordamerikanischen Universitäten Schriftsteller, die, wie auch »Musicians (Musiker) in residence« und »Painters (Maler) in residence«, ohne durch Verpflichtung zu lehren u. a. gebunden zu sein, durch ihre Anwesenheit auf dem Campus eine kreative Atmosphäre unmittelbar erlebbar machen sollen. Diese Einrichtung wurde geschaffen, weil die meisten nordamerikanischen Universitäten »auf dem Lande« liegen und so die kulturellen Angebote der Städte fehlen.
