The Institute for Community Research of Hartford, Connecticut, is holding a one-day conference entitled "Privatization for the Common Good? Implications for Social Health and Welfare." ICR is a feminist-oriented organization. They are looking for a woman economist to address the question, "Can Markets Govern?" with particular reference to possible privatization of social services. The talk would be about 25 minutes, followed by Q&A as part of a panel lasting 75 minutes, from 9 a.m. to 11:00. The Institute is willing to offer an honorarium and cover the usual expenses. The conference is scheduled for October 21, 1997, in Hartford, starting first thing in the morning.
