But one of the unexpected revelations for me has been Brenda Longfellow’s Offshore<\/a>, an interactive web documentary that offers powerful depictions of the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster in a stunning visual format.<\/p>\n

The film’s home page is here<\/a>.\u00a0I recommend setting aside some time to explore its many features. Note that the page takes some time to load.<\/p>\n

For those wishing to follow the\u00a0conference, its\u00a0Twitter hashtag is #uws2014, and the Facebook page is\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/uws2014<\/a>. I will try to say more about it when I can.<\/p>\n
