DESCRIPTION:This talk examines the critical relationship between the Britis
 h constitution and empire. Concentrating on the period from the mid-ninete
 enth century until the last days of colonial rule in the twentieth century
 \, it focuses on three key areas. Firstly\, it looks at the resonance of e
 mpire in British constitutional thinking as well as the contradictions and
  limitations of the late imperial constitutional project. Secondly\, it de
 lves into the divergent ways Britain sought to govern its vast empire\, es
 pecially with the marked difference between the growing autonomy of the se
 ttler dominated states and the majority who were deemed unable to govern t
 hemselves. Finally\, in the last stage of imperial rule when self-governme
 nt was demanded\, it will show how British constitutional traditions\, con
 cepts and institutions fared in the colonial context and what this meant f
 or those living under the British Empire.\n\n \n\nDr. Harshan Kumarasingha
