If our future world is to be more inclusive, we need more diversity and representation in the technology and gaming fields. Kayla Kinnunen, Game Director at Roadhouse Interactive, discusses the state of the gaming industry, and what’s to come. All events at the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice are free and open to the public. RSVP’s are not required to attend, only encouraged. Lunch will be provided.
