Dr. Sabri Sulaiman is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Anthropology and Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya (UM), Malaysia. 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, all from UM. His Master’s thesis examined Social Deprivation and the Social Well-being of Malaysian Children.  His doctoral research contributed to the development of a Community-Based Social Care Model to protect the rights and improve the social well-being of street-connected children. Dr Sabri has collaborated with and consulted for ministries, government agencies, and international partners. Apart from research and teaching, he's also now a consultant for the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN). His applied research and advisory roles extend to civil society and international organisations, reflecting his commitment to linking research with advocacy and policy reform. Dr Sabri Sulaiman is a sociologist whose academic and research work critically examines how social structures, welfare systems, and institutional arrangements shape human development, health, and well-being across the life course. His work centres on the applied and comparative sociology of vulnerability and protection, with a strong focus on children, families, and vulnerable populations (specifically persons with disabilities and ageing populations). A key strand of his research is the sociology of childhood and family life. He analyses how caregiving practices, family structures, and social environments influence developmental trajectories, particularly through the lenses of Adverse and Positive Childhood Experiences (ACEs), resilience, deprivation, violence, and state intervention. His Global South–Global North comparative approach highlights disparities, innovations, and context-specific solutions that strengthen social protection systems and promote children’s rights and well-being. Dr Sabri’s work extends to population health and social well-being, investigating how social, economic, and cultural determinants shape mental health, education, labour participation, disability inclusion, and access to care. His work engages critically with intersecting inequalities related to gender, class, disability, and ethnicity, and how these intersect to influence life chances, vulnerability, and social justice outcomes. Another core dimension of his research is the sociology of violence, vulnerability, and institutional accountability. He studies the structural and political conditions that reproduce harm, including child abuse, gender-based violence, elder abuse, and labour exploitation, while examining legal, bureaucratic, and welfare mechanisms designed to protect human rights. His work interrogates how institutions respond to claims of rights and justice, particularly within contested or unequal power relations. Committed to applied sociology, Dr Sabri contributes to sociological measurement, indicator development, program evaluation, and evidence-based intervention design. His research informs policies on education reform, disability inclusion, social care, and population health, emphasising community-level impact and equity. Through comparative research across Malaysia, ASEAN, East Asia, and Europe, he advocates for inclusive systems that ensure vulnerable groups have meaningful access to rights, protection, and care. Dr Sabri is actively involved in national and international research, consultancy, and postgraduate supervision across these areas: Sociology of Children, Families, and Life Course: Exploring how childhood, caregiving systems, and family life are socially constructed and transformed.

This includes research on violence against children, gender-based violence, elder abuse, and labour exploitation, alongside protection systems and state responsibility. Sociology of Work and Labour: Examining labour markets, inequalities, the gig economy, global supply chains, care economies, and workplace rights. His research emphasises labour precarity, care work, and social protection for vulnerable workers. Applied Sociology, Measurement, and Evidence-Based Interventions: Focusing on the application of sociological theory and methods to real-world problems, including program evaluation, indicator development, and the design of evidence-based interventions in education, health, disability, and social care.

Legal Sociology and Human Rights: Investigating the role of human rights in improving welfare, legal reforms, welfare regulation, and state accountability, especially in vulnerable societies. Sociology of Inclusive and Special Education: Examining the social, cultural, and institutional dynamics influencing inclusive education, focusing on accessibility, stigma, support structures, rights-based policy implementation, and comparative models of inclusion. He is currently leading several major research initiatives, including A Study on Risk Behaviours in At-Risk Adolescents in Malaysia, Creating Inclusive Digital Education for Students with Disabilities in Higher Education Institutions in Malaysia and The Relationship Between Education Inequality and Subjective Well-being of Persons With Disability in Higher Education. He is also the author of forthcoming books, namely the Community-Based Social Care Model in Protecting Street-Connected Children in Malaysia. He has also published a book titled "Deprivasi Sosial Kanak-kanak Malaysia", which examines the status of social deprivation and the social well-being of Malaysian children from their own perspectives, as well as intervention and policy strategies to reduce social deprivation and enhance their overall well-being. Dr Sabri’s work is internationally recognised. He is a member of the British Sociology Association, the Association of Southeast Asian Studies in the United Kingdom (ASEASUK), the Social Policy Association, the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN), the Malaysian Association of Social Workers (MASW), and the International Sociological Association (ISA).
