In October 2013, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck the province of Bohol, Philippines, inducing land subsidence to some of its small island communities. Now, the islands of Batasan, Pangapasan, Ubay and Bilangbilangan of the Municipality of Tubigon experience partial or complete flooding even during normal spring tides.
This immersive documentary, viewable on an Oculus headset, places the audience on these islands and face-to-face with these island communities, confronted with a hundred years’ worth of sea level rise.

Open Access Roundtable Session
The advent of open access publishing promises a revolution in terms of the dissemination of academic research. From 2024, all UKRI-funded research must be disseminated through open access (monographs, book chapters and edited collections, as well as peer-reviewed journal articles) and the next REF is set to go the same way. What are both the opportunities and challenges which open access brings and what does it mean for you? Join our distinguished panel in a debate about the future of academic publishing as we look ahead to the age of open access.
Panellists:
John Connolly (Chief Editorial Adviser, Routledge Open Research; Professor of Social Sciences, Glasgow Caledonian University)
Gillian Daly (Executive Officer, SCURL: Scottish Confederation of University and Research Libraries)
Murray Leith (Editorial Board Member, Scottish Universities Press; Professor of Politics, University of West of Scotland)
