CURRICULUM VITAE

DR. SABRI BIN SULAIMAN

(Social Services (Social Administration and Justice))
Dr. Sabri Sulaiman is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Administration and Justice with a minor in Anthropology and Sociology, a Master’s in Social Intervention, and a PhD in Social Services from the University of Malaya. His academic training is grounded in applied sociology, social policy, social work, and evidence-based intervention research. Dr Sulaiman is an applied sociologist whose research lies at the intersection of social policy, evidence-based intervention, and the sociology of vulnerability, with particular emphasis on child and family welfare and wellbeing, social inequality, social exclusion, contextual safeguarding, and community-based social care systems. His work critically examines the socio-ecological and structural dimensions of protection, violence, health, social well-being, and human development among vulnerable and marginalised populations. His early research examined social deprivation and the well-being of Malaysian children, while his doctoral work developed a community-based social care model for vulnerable populations. This scholarship contributes to broader sociological debates on prevention-oriented intervention, contextual safeguarding, and socio-ecological approaches to child and family well-being, as well as vulnerable populations. A close integration of empirical research, sociological theory, and policy relevance characterises his work, which is situated within a comparative and globally engaged sociology spanning the Global South and the Global North.
