The Thirteenth Biennial History of Astronomy Workshop (NDXIII) will be held July 5-9, 2017, at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, and will include a one-day trip to the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.  This year's theme is "Models and Mechanisms in the History of Astronomy," encompassing a number of different time periods and geographical locations.  Proposals that directly address the theme will receive preferential treatment.  

We encourage you to consult the full CFP online at http://www3.nd.edu/~histast/workshops/2017ndxiii/NDXIII%20Call%20for%20Proposals.pdf for further details about the workshop, its theme, and the invited speaker.

We will accept proposals for both individual papers (15-20 minute presentations) and organized sessions. Proposals for papers should include a title and a one-paragraph abstract; session proposals should identify all presenters as well as titles and one-paragraph abstracts for each presenter.  Proposals from graduate students and recent PhDs are especially welcomed.  Proposals, including a one-page CV for all presenters, should be sent by February 1, 2017, to Elizabeth Hamm at elizabeth.hamm@stmarys-ca.edu.
