Title Levelling the field: Diversity in games, with Mata Haggis-Burridge Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet BUas Games Grindset Media type Web Country/Territory Netherlands Date 29/04/25 Description Description: In this episode, we talk with Mata Haggis-Burridge—game designer, writer, and professor—about diversity in games, both behind the scenes and in the stories we tell. We explore why diversity isn’t just a moral issue, but a smart business move, how representation (or the lack of it) impacts players, and what the industry still needs to work on. Mata brings both academic insight and industry experience to the conversation, offering a thoughtful look at where we are now and where we need to go.
