Adrian de Silva is a trans and queer studies researcher with a background in sociology and political science. Since 2021, he is a research scientist at the Institute for Social Research and Interventions at the University of Luxembourg. Working across political sociology, sociology of law, sexology and political theory, his research engages with processes of minoritizing unusual genders and sexualities in liberal democracies and struggles for social change in these areas.
Before joining the University of Luxembourg as a postdoc in 2016, Adrian worked as a guest lecturer, research associate, and graduate and tutorial assistant, respectively, in political science and gender studies departments at several universities in Germany. He enjoyed research residencies as an associate fellow at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) at the University of Bielefeld, as a member of the graduate research training group “Gender as a Category of Knowledge” at Humboldt University and as a research fellow at York University in Canada.
Adrian completed his studies at the University of Münster with an MA thesis on Antonio Gramsci’s concept of hegemony. He received his PhD in gender studies at Humboldt University in Berlin with the interdisciplinary study “Negotiating the Borders of the Gender Regime: Developments and Debates on Trans(sexuality) in the Federal Republic of Germany”. His studies and research were funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the International Council for Canadian Studies (ICCS) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Adrian is interested in queer and trans theory, trans and intersex in medicine, law and federal politics, the history and politics of the trans movement in the Federal Republic of Germany, twentieth century and contemporary political thought, and sex and disability.

Former research projects include research for the Luxembourgish contribution to the ERASMUS + project “Sex Education for People with Disabilities” (TRASE), research on trans and social change in sexology, the law, federal politics and the trans movement in the Federal Republic of Germany since the 1960s at Humboldt University, research on intersex in medical ethics, and legal and political aspects on trans in the UK at Bremen University, and research on the policy process leading to the introduction of sexual orientation into the Canadian Human Rights Act at York University.

He also conducted tutorials for the core course “Introduction to Political Science”, and taught courses in international relations and political theory in political science departments at the universities of Münster, Bremen and Göttingen.
At the University of Luxembourg, he co-taught cultural theory in the Trinational Master Programme in 2019.
