We plan to concentrate on simple theories this semester.
Frank Wagner's book Simple Theories is an excellent reference on simple theories.
There was workshop on simple theories at the Fields Institute in Toronto 19 - 22 October 2000.
There will be a Conference on Model Theory and Descriptive Set Theory at Rutgers over the Presidents' Day weekend 16 - 19 February 2001.
