Robert Teixeira

Robert Teixeira is completing his Ph.D. dissertation in the Sociology Department at York University in Toronto. His scholarly foci include governmentality studies, critical sexualities, queer theory and child and youth studies. His research takes a critical look at contemporary child protection legislation, analyzing the socio-legal regulation of young people and sexuality in Canada. As a former Goth kid (in the 1980s) he has not lost his love for the music and black attire, although his preferences are now for modern composition, experimental electronic, sound-art, and noise. His current obsession is with John Cage.
