Queer Theory Sociology [Paperback]

• 
  
• First book to bring the works of theorists and researchers in the social sciences to Queer theory which is distinctively dominated by the Humanities.
• 
  
• Uses classic sociological essays that shaped lesbian, gay and bisexual studies and recent original works and applies these to the discursive approach of Queer Theory to create a productive dialogue between the disciplines.
