In this collection of her essays, the author argues that queer studies is just the latest installment in a long but largely forgotten history of interest in sexuality within the social sciences. Her articles aim to "sex up" conventional subjects, such as kinship, race or labour.

Kath Weston''s powerful collection of essays, Long, Slow Burn, challenges the preconception that queer studies is the brainchild of the humanities and argues that social science has been talking about sex all along. To deny this one would have to overlook Kinsey''s pioneering sex research in the 1950s, or the psychiatrist Evelyn Hooker''s pathbreaking study of homosexuality, but also in the "sex talk" that lies at the heart of classic debates on kinship, inequality, cognition, and other foundational topics in the social sciences. What is different now, Weston claims, is the way sexuality has been isolated from other contemporary issues. Not content with its ghettoization as a contained subfield, Weston refuses to draw an artificial line around sexuality.
