I'm very pleased to announce that next week, our class will be joined by Dr. Elena Vance, a leading expert on 15th-century maritime trade routes. Dr. Vance is here to discuss her recent research, which challenges the traditional view that economic decline was the primary reason for shifting trade patterns. She'll present compelling evidence suggesting that climate shifts played a far more significant role than previously understood. This is a great opportunity to hear a groundbreaking perspective, so please complete the assigned pre-reading.
