@zahirajaser It's been a while, but at least now I have created the @orgstudies group, which can be followed by anyone interested in #orgstudies and which reposts every post in which it is tagged. Turns out it's very easy to create such a group.
This thing on? #orgstudies #socialinnovation #sociology #SocAF #academicchatter
