The Age of Microbes

This article employs a series of experiments and theories from microbiology and Sociology for the advocacy of a «Sociology of microbes.» The authors argue that sociology should start to take microbes seriously, in a way that is currently not the case, since there is evidence to support that microbes are significant actors in any society. The authors looked at effects of microbes on social relations, how microbes are related to ethnicity and race, and microbes in justice.
