Professor: I have an exciting announcement. Next Tuesday, we have a guest speaker, Dr. Alistair Finch, who is a leading authority on 18th-century maritime trade. I've invited him because his research offers a very different perspective on the economic rivalries we've been reading about in our textbook. He challenges some of the book's main arguments, and I think his talk will provide a more complete and nuanced understanding of the period. His lecture will be during our normal class time, right here in this room.
