Professor Scott participated in a meeting at the Ford Foundation to assess the
future direction of women's studies programs and served on the selection com-
mittee for the French-American Foundation's Bicentennial Fellowships.
During the academic year 1992-93, PROFESSOR MICHAEL WALZER gave
the Edward Block Lecture at Indiana University and the Frank M. Covey Lec-
tures in Political Analysis at Loyola University in Chicago. He delivered papers
at conferences in Paris (on justice, sponsored by the French government's Comi-
sariat du Plan), in Turin (on the future of the Left, sponsored by the Rosselli
Foundation), and in Jerusalem (on war and peace in different religious traditions,
sponsored by the Ethikon Foundation). He talked about "the culture of commu-
nity" at several meetings organized by the New Jersey Committee for the
Humanities. Professor Walzer's book Wfiat It Means to be an American was published
in English (it had appeared earlier in Italian). A collection of his essays came out
in Germany under the title Zivile Gesellschaft und amerikariishe Demokratie. Spheres
of Justice was published in German translation and Exodus and Revolution in
Hebrew. One of his essays on nationalism appeared in the course of the year in
Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish translations. Here in
Princeton, he continued to work on nationalist and ethnic politics, on a book on
"biblical politics," and on a collaborative project on Jewish political thought.
