18 November 2021, 5:00 pm AST On 30th November 2021, Barbados will patriate its constitution and become a republic. While the act itself will take place this year, further post republican transition changes to the Barbados constitution are anticipated, and to that end, throughout 2022 into 2023, a series of consultations will be held with the Barbadian public. As a premiere educational institution, there is a space for the UWI to guide much of that discussion and education of the public. The Faculties of Social Sciences and Law at UWI are jointly hosting monthly town hall meetings to discuss various socio-economic, cultural, political, legal and constitutional issues relevant to constitutional reform of this magnitude.
