In other words, you might contact them or I could recommend you for their lecture series. They told me to please feel free to make recommendations. I was not familiar with your work prior to just having listened to a video of your thoughts on the Second Amendment and our mass shootings national agony, as well as reading your comments directed toward Nussbaum. But I do observe that you are a fine surgeon, not a butcher or a practitioner of voodoo medicine.
Thank you, very interesting, and I didn't know about the series. I'd be delighted to be recommended -- sounds like it might be more appropriate for talking about my forthcoming book on Hamilton, due out in 2024, so in any event I'll keep them in mind ...
I went to hear Dame Linda Colley speak about her latest oeuvre "The Gun, the Ship, and the Pen: Warfare, Constitutions, and the Making of the Modern World" at The Bedford Playhouse in Westchester County. Felt like an adolescent going to hear The Beatles in the 1960's, in other words, touching the life of an historian whose "BRITONS" had delighted me in graduate school some years ago. The Playhouse is giving space to the John Jay Lecture Series while the Jay Homestead undergoes renovations for the next couple of years. Lecture series chair: Melissa Vail.
Personal note #2. Just read online a critique that you wrote about Nussbaum's idealization of Hamilton which causes me to wonder if these revisions of history and idealizations of the imagination are the reason that the Boston Tea Party is not explained in the context of The British Tea Company. It's a simple form of idolatry, idealizing this nation's history to make its people willing to pay taxes and fight in foreign wars, similar to one of Colley's themes.

How shall I tell them they may contact you - if they ask?
Via my agent Eric Lupfer: eric.lupfer@unitedtalent.com. Thanks.
Ok, have given your name, a link to a talk you gave and the name of your agent.
Thanks again.
