All podcasts were recorded for PSI-I by Andrew Rix, with original music by Fran Hegarty.
Episode 4: Recognizing Intersex in Abrahamic Religions.
In intersex studies, we often behave as if we do live or should live in a secular world. In contrast, this podcast is about the recognition and understanding of intersex in Abrahamic religions which goes back hundreds, if not thousands, of years. What are the benefits of learning about centuries of religious thought, law and practice that has aimed at the recognition of people with variations, for people living now who do, and who do not, have a faith? In this podcast, Peter Hegarty is joined by Susanna Cornwall, who is Professor of Constructive Theologies at the University of Exeter in the UK, Reverend Jane Taylor, who is a Minister of the United Reformed Church, also in the UK, and Dr. Mehrdad Alipour, who is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands.
