Kath Weston Knihy

Exploring the intersection of sexuality and social sciences, this collection of essays by Kath Weston challenges the separation of sexuality from broader social issues. Weston argues that sexuality has always been integral to discussions on kinship, race, and labor, highlighting its influence on foundational topics within the social sciences. By "sexing up" conventional subjects, she demonstrates that acknowledging sexuality reshapes our understanding of social dynamics. This work advocates for a holistic approach, positioning sexuality as essential to the future of social scientific inquiry.

Kath Weston addresses the emergence of a new animism in the context of food, energy, water, and climate to trace how new intimacies between humans, animals, and the environment are emerging as people attempt to understand how the high-tech ecologically damaged world they have made is remaking them.
