2008-09 Fulbrighters

The 2008-09 Fulbrighters have just been announced on the web site of the Slovak Fulbright Commission: http://www.fulbright.sk/list.htm

I'm sure that all of us who have had the privilege of being Fulbrighters to the Slovak Republic in earlier years would be delighted to answer questions and help in any way we can as they prepare for this very exciting appointment.

I met some of the Slovak students and faculty who will be spending the next year in the U.S. as Fulbrighters, and it is a very distinguished group.

Congratulations to everybody and best wishes for a successful year abroad!

Slovak publication

I have just received a copy of a new publication in Slovak, which includes a translation into Slovak of my essay, “Governmental determinations of aesthetic value”: "Urcovanie estetickej hodnoty vládou,” Filozoficko-Estetické Reflexie Posthistorickeho Umenia, Studia Aesthetica X., Prešovská Univerzita (2008), 49-54.

It was translated into Slovak by Erich Mistrík, my department head last fall at Comenius University. I am very grateful to him for translating my work and sending me a copy of the publication.

I just mailed copies to the Fulbright offices in Bratislava and Washington, D.C. They encourage us to pursue follow-up activities after our Fulbright experiences, and I think they will be pleased to see this.
