[Air-L] Searching for Mentor: Twitter API//Data Collection

[Radhika G]

Piggy backing on all this activity as I have my discord continually
pinging...

I've been working on having a "Desi" server on discord for researchers
looking at issues of gender, caste, class , religion, labor, etc and South
Asia - whatever the app or platform - (diasporas and in the region)

so.... if you are working on issues to do with all of the above any of the
above - feel free to hop in on discord.

Also - I see several researchers here who seem to be interested in gender
and south Asia - feel free to connect to my server (desi divas) - and I can
connect you to other networks and resources related to different ways to
research different topics. - https://discord.gg/UcTZeX
