معرفی
Tony Silva is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology within the Faculty of Arts at the University of British Columbia. His research examines intersections of gender, sexuality, family structures, and rural sociology through nationally representative surveys and qualitative interviews.
His primary research interests focus on
- Gender and sexual identity formation
- Rural masculinity and sexual fluidity
- LGBTQ+ relationships across age groups
- Cultural contexts of sexual behavior
Professor Silva's recent publications reveal strong thematic connections between sexual identity, social context, and cultural conservatism, with particular emphasis on rural communities and intergenerational dynamics within gay male relationships. His work frequently employs mixed-method approaches to explore identity-behavior discordance and the influence of adolescent experiences on adult sexual identification.
Teaching responsibilities include SOCI 101 (Social Interaction and Culture) where he examines culture, identity, and socialization processes. His courses emphasize critical analysis of how social structures shape personal experiences and relationships.
