The Metaphor of the Virus in Women's Studies

Two theorists, Breonna Fos and Michael Karger, published a paper in a small academic journal called Heneros titled Women's Studies as a Virus. This paper theorizes that one future pedagogical priority of women's studies is to train students not only to master a body of knowledge, but also to serve as symbolic viruses which infect, unsettle, and disrupt traditional fields. The metaphor of the virus, in part, exemplifies an ideal feminist pedagogy. That's exactly what they're doing very successfully, not just in the academy,. Social justice activism has significant influence over many areas of society, especially through social media and using institutional administrations.
