Dr Sabri Sulaiman is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya. His master’s research examined socioeconomic disadvantage, social deprivation, and the well-being of children from low-income families in Malaysia, with the aim of developing evidence-based intervention strategies to strengthen their welfare and well-being. His Doctoral research extended this work by investigating how poverty and homelessness conditions shape the welfare, needs, antisocial and prosocial behavioural outcomes of children from homeless and vulnerable families. The Doctoral project culminated in the development of a community-based social care model designed to enhance the welfare, well-being, and support systems available to vulnerable children from vulnerable families. Through this, his research centres on the sociology of children, families, and vulnerability, with particular attention to vulnerable and hard-to-reach children, young people, and families. His work examines how social stratification, family relationships, socioeconomic conditions, socio-ecological environments, institutions, and systems of care and welfare influence childhood and family experiences. He further investigates how these structural and relational conditions contribute to inequalities in health, well-being, social inclusion, children’s rights, resilience, development, and life chances among children and vulnerable families. His research also explores how family policies, parenting practices, employment and labour conditions, welfare provision, and governance systems mediate access to opportunities, resources, and social outcomes across the life
