the history of subculture on Prezi

 By John Massingham

For anyone interested in Sociology and specifically Youth and Subcultural Theory - check out the Prezi John Massingham has made. It is a useful tool that helps in the way that it has laid out or mapped the concept of subculture over the historical course of sociological theory, pin pointing moments and concepts that have driven the trajectory of subcultural theory. A really awesome thing about Prezi is that it allows you to zoom in and out and to embedd, pdf's, video and images at any depth. Heads up, John has hidden some pretty neat videos, tables and academic articles that you may not first see but with a bit of exploration are not to hard to find. To create a flow to a presentation you can also add paths to Prezi, but John has not used paths as it is a mapping exercise and learning tool - it is meant for those with an interest in the subject to explore and prompt further study. check it out, share it and if you can add to it.
