Join us in the Great Hall for a book talk with M. Wolff, who explores Sally Gross, a South African intersex priest and activist. "Body Problems" highlights Gross’s contributions to Intersex South Africa and the ANC while examining her diverse spiritual background, including Judaism, Christianity, and Buddhism. The book invites readers to rethink bodies and belonging in relation to gender and religion, using Gross's life to assess commitments to social justice and responsible relationships. It offers valuable insights into the medical, religious, and political constructions of bodies
