June 13th 2023 - Yorkshire Azure User Group (Leeds)

Introduction
We are very excited to announce our next in-person event of 2023! Our June event will be based in Leeds, hosted at Infinity Works offices over the road from the station. As usual, we will be running the event from 6-8pm where food and drink will be provided.

Speakers
Session 1: Dr Jackie Campbell is currently Course Director for the Data Science courses at Leeds Beckett University. After graduating in Maths, she was thrilled to find the ‘computing’ industry, where logic and problem solving in the real world could be a career. Her move to education allows her to explore and teach the ‘really interesting’ stories around computing and data for which her links with industry are key, especially in motivating and supporting students in developing the skills, networks and approach to be successful in their ability to become part of the thriving Leeds Digital and Technology sector.

Jackie has a Doctorate in Education, through which she drew on sociological approaches and theories to explore computing students. The areas of technology, sociology and education are her main areas of research which is currently focused on data and technology bias and informed evaluation of data analytics with respect to process and outcomes.
