The Ph.D. students of the program in History and Theory of Architecture at Princeton University are pleased to announce the third "Hypotheses" graduate student conference, to be held at the School of Architecture. "Hypotheses" is a biennial colloquium in which doctoral students publicly present current dissertation research. Presentations will be followed by discussion panels and responses by Princeton professors and other established scholars in the field. The primary interest of "Hypotheses 3" is modern architectural history and theory, 1750 to the present.

D. students in other disciplines. Students currently engaged in dissertation research in fields including, but not limited to, architecture, landscape architecture, art history, urban planning, history, cultural studies, literature, material culture and the social sciences are invited to submit a 300 word abstract, indicating the subject of research and defining the argument and material to be presented.

12-14 : 1999 Value Theory Mini-Conference: Deepening The Dialogues, Boston Park Plaza Hotel. We invite you to the sixth "New Directions in Value/Price Theory" mini-conference, organized by the International Working Group on Value Theory (IWGVT), to be held as part of the Eastern Economic Association (EEA) conference, March 12-14, 1999, at the Park Plaza Hotel, Boston, USA. Proposals for complete panels or individual papers relating to the IWGVT's areas of interest are welcome. A summary of our aims and history, our scholarship guidelines, and full instructions on paper submissions, may be accessed on our web-site or obtained by mailing us. Our major objective is to deepen the dialogues begun in our first five conferences, especially in 1998 when several new discussions were initiated. To encourage direct engagement between theoretical perspectives and in-depth examination of existing controversies, at the 1999 conference: * Panelists will present completed papers only (except at roundtables), which will be circulated to panelists well before the conference to allow for comment and engagement. * To foster pluralistic and critical dialogue, papers will conform to IWGVT scholarship guidelines * A 15-minute norm for presentations will allow for more dialogue * Discussants will deliver prepared comments on papers in selected sessions * A reception will facilitate informal discussion and socializing. To deepen existing discussions we are departing from a common academic practice: we strongly encourage papers that revisit contributions at past IWGVT mini-conferences, particularly 1998. Can you say something you've already said more effectively? If so, we will do our best to ensure it is listened to. Proposals for complete sessions or abstracts of individual papers are welcome from May 1st onwards and we will respond with provisional indication of acceptance or rejection. However final acceptance is conditional on provision of a completed paper for which the deadline is November 1st. The final list of sessions will also depend on receipts of completed papers. For further information e-mail us at value.theory@greenwich.ac.uk , also the address for papers and proposals, or check out our web-site on www.greenwich.ac.uk/~fa03/iwgvt. Full details of submission procedures, and information on the IWGVT, is available on these sites. GIVEN THE CHANGES TO PAST PRACTICE, PLEASE OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION, AND READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY. The conference committee has been enlarged and consists of: Paul Cooney (pcooney@praxisconsulting.com), Alan Freeman (a.freeman@greenwich.ac.uk), Andrew Kliman (Andrew_Kliman@classic.msn.com) and Julian Wells (Julian_Wells@compuserve.com).

8 : The Twentieth Century: A Century of Progress- What is the balance sheet? Institute of Historical Research, WC1. As the twentieth century draws to a close this one day event, organised by the London Socialist Historians Group, will look at the question of progress in history and attempt to draw a balance sheet of how far attempts to change society for the better since 1900 have worked. From Bernstein to Bad Godesberg and New Labour, social democracy has reinvented itself throughout the twentieth century. But what is the historical record of reforming Governments in the twentieth century, and what does that record tell us about the future? Have the examples of revolution in Russia or the free market in America provided coherent alternatives? Have changes for women, lesbians and gays and blacks led to liberation? Have developments in science led to relief from the dull compulsion of economic reality? Proposals for Panels of two or three papers and a discussant are invited around the following subject areas: + The Political Economy of Capitalism + Social Democracy and Strategies for Reform + Labour Struggles + Labour Leaders + Science and social change + Reform and Revolt + Reaction and the Failure of Reform + The Oppressed and the fight for liberation + The historical development of the Capitalist Economy. These subject areas are indicative, other topics on the general theme will be entertained. The day will open and close with Plenary sessions. Before and after lunch parallel panels of speakers and commentators will take place. Proposals for panels should be sent to Keith Flett, 38 Mitchley, Rd, Tottenham, London, N17 9HG by 1st December 1998, [ (+44) 171-829 3097]. ORGANISED BY THE LONDON SOCIALIST HISTORIANS GROUP

16-19 : On Time: History, Science, Commemoration at National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside (NMGM), Liverpool. A British Society for the History of Science (BSHS), Royal Historical Society (RHS) and NMGM conference.

The approach of the millenium has heightened awareness of the conventions and cultures of time. But what is time? This question has been of growing interest amongst historians. Their research is markedly interdisciplinary, spilling over the boundaries between social, economic and cultural historians, and historians of science, technology, medicine and mathematics. 'On Time', organised by the British Society for the History of Science (BSHS), Royal Historical Society (RHS) and NMGM responds to this interdisciplinarity.

The conference will be held at the NMGM (which includes the Merseyside Maritime Museum, in the heart of Liverpool's historic Albert Dock), a holder of a highly significant collection of timepieces. Papers with a wide interest and historiographical scope are invited. Possible sessions include:

Beginnings and Origin, Stories Commemoration, Maritime Time, Timetables and Technology, Workplaces and Time, Lifetimes and Servitude, Units of Time, Calendars, Time and Political Economies, Scientific Instruments and Time, Cultures of Time and Space, Religion and Time, Nostalgia, Rhythms and Cycles in the Natural Sciences, Evolution, Relativity, Anthropology and Time, Past-Futures, Ends of Time, Immortality

Ashworth (Liverpool University)

17-18 : Association Charles Gide pour l'Etude de la Pensee Economique. International Conference; Formal Models and Economic Theory: History, Analysis, Methodology. What kind of scientific references did economic theory adopt throughout its history? What formal models were conducive to these references? How did they shape the analytical content of the theory? What analogies or homologies could be considered as having initiated new approaches to economic theory? Such questions lead to analyze the place and role of medical, chemical, mechanical, thermodynamical, biological, systemic, or other formal metaphors in the construction of economic theory. The conference on "Formal Models and Economic Theory : History, Analysis, Methodology" is thus open to several approaches : the history of the scientific references adopted by economists since the XVIIth century, the
