In honor of Intersex Awareness Day, Snærós Sindradóttir, journalist at RÚV (Icelandic National Broadcasting Service), and Ármann Jakobsson, professor in Old Icelandic Literature at the University of Iceland, will discuss a remarkable archeological excavation in Finland that indicates that an iron age leader was both intersex and non-binary. They will also discuss the significance of the discovery with regard to the status of gender in the Middle Ages in Iceland and its appearance in Njála, Snorri-Edda and Heimskringla.
