VU Pride presents: Queer Science. A series of science talks to show you academic views on all that is queer.
In this edition of Queer Science we talk about: how non-binary priests are closer to the divine.
Ancient Mesopotamian and Greek sources describe priests who were seen as neither male nor female but transcended these categories. This granted them special powers, such as direct contact with the divine. At a time when the US president horribly seeks to erase gender diversity, this presentation will show how these ancient priests are only one example of how different cultures and eras have not only recognized multiple gender identities but also cherished those who exist beyond the male-female binary.
