Gender in Real Time brings gender into the realm of time. Weston introduces the temporality concept, looking at the ways that gender exists and can be measured in units of time. Her use of time, and the concept of the 'zero' allow us to conceive of a genderless world free of current academic debates surrounding the number of genders in existence.

The study of human sexuality within the social sciences is not a recent innovation. Why then do many people think of sociology, anthropology and psychology as latecomers to the study of sexuality? Why is queer studies seen as the brainchild of the humanities rather than the social sciences?
In Long Slow Burn, Kath Weston traces a long but largely forgotten history of interest in sexuality in the social sciences, from Kinseys pioneering sex research in the 1950s, to the work of sexologists such as Masters and Johnson. What is different now, Weston argues, is that sexuality has been isolated from other contemporary issues. Westons book exposes the paradox of studying sexuality as a thing unto itself when sexuality infuses all aspects of social life. Instead, she sexes up conventional subjects, such as kinship, race and labour, proving that once you start paying attention to sexuality, you can never look at social issues in the same way again.

In day-to-day life, people often act as if they know exactly what they mean by boys and girls, masculine and feminine, butch and femme. Render Me, Gender Me challenges comfortable assumptions about gender by weaving Kath Weston's own thought-provoking commentary together with the voices of lesbians from a variety of race and class backgrounds.

In Animate Planet Kath Weston shows how new intimacies between humans, animals, and their surroundings are emerging as people attempt to understand how the high-tech ecologically damaged world they have made is remaking them, one synthetic chemical, radioactive isotope, and megastorm at a time. Visceral sensations, she finds, are vital to this process, which yields a new animism in which humans and "the environment" become thoroughly entangled. In case studies on food, water, energy, and climate from the United States, India, and Japan, Weston approaches the new animism as both a symptom of our times and an analytic with the potential to open paths to new and forgotten ways of living.

This classic text, originally published in 1991 and now revised and updated to include a new preface, draws upon fieldwork and interviews to explore the ways gay men and lesbians are constructing their own notions of kinship by drawing on the symbolism of love, friendship, and biology.
