The 鈥榯ransnational鈥� is an old theme in British imperial history, though continually reinventing itself in new interventions and guises. The two-day workshop Between and Beyond: Transnational Networks and the British Empire engaged with a number of important conceptual and historiographical questions in the field of British imperial history. What role does the British empire play in the facilitation of networks within, without and beyond its boundaries? Do we need to think of the networks of the British Empire following Tony Ballantyne鈥檚 metaphor of a 鈥渨eb鈥�? Is the web of networks in the British Empire made of only main arteries or of 鈥渕ultiple filaments鈥�? And what does 鈥榯ransnational鈥� bring to the field of imperial studies, particularly when posited with the ever-expanding category of the 鈥榞lobal鈥�? By Somak Biswas and Dr Guillemette Crouzet.
