Josephine and Sabrina take another dive into all things MRS Pride with Episode 7 of OUTsights. They cover the usual #podgoss, new exhibitions and Disney movies.
They are joined by Martin Bradley and Emil Kimber from MTM who dive into their inspiring work on diversity within the gaming industry. Something of a hot topic for the industry, improving the representation of characters and narratives within gaming is set to be a dominant conversation for a while. Gaming as an industry falls behind many of the other entertainment genres in promoting inclusion and so Martin and Emil discuss why this is the case and what gaming brands can do to improve.

We also hear from our newest members of the MRS Pride group, Maine Charlton and Ben Sumner about their route to research and Pride. They also discuss their plans to support SME's across the industry to help drive inclusion and diversity through a number of round table workshops. Find out more about these via MRS Pride.
We mention the MRS Inclusion Pledge which you can sign up to here if your organisation hasn't already: https://www.mrs.org.uk/resources/ceo-inclusion-pledge
