“Enhancing the status of female dominated occupations”, by Pauline Schnegg.

The Greek god Kairos represents an opportunity to be seized in the guise of a young man who is naked, but sports a tuft of hair on his head. When he comes within our reach, one of three things can happen: we do not see him; we see him but do nothing; or, as he’s passing we reach out and “grab the opportunity by the tuft of its hair”. Let’s attempt to view this devastating pandemic like a kairos: an opportune moment, a breach in the regular order of things, in order to assess the tangible from another angle and find new ways of shaping our reality. We must seize the opportunity to change the world order and make it fairer.
