Based on a chapter I’m currently finishing for a book on the morality and digital games I’ve recently been asked to present on games and moral panics. The first was a research seminar at The Faculty of Education at Anglia Ruskin University and more recently at the Research Group for Media & ICT (MICT) at the University of Ghent. The slides for both of these are now available on my Slideshare account for viewing and download.
There is obviously some overlap between the two presentations – but the slides from Ghent are probably more understandable on their own and give a better overview of Stan Cohen’s Folk Devils and Moral Panics. Additionally they have the video I used from YouTube embedded in them!
It’s great to be invited to present at places where the audience and organisers are enthusiastic and welcoming. Even more so when you get to go out for a nice meal and a couple of drinks with them afterwards.
Bring on more speaking invitations!
Update: The presentation below has been featured on the Slideshare Education page!
Update 2: The presentation below has been featured on the Slideshare homepage! I am feeling quite (or virtually) famous.
