Our faculty member Dr. Anisur Rahman Khan, Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, East West University, in a recent research attempted to understand the individual cases of suicide by explicating the essence form Durkheim’s four-fold schema. 

In doing so, they contextualized 20 male suicide cases from Bangladesh through qualitative semi-structured research interviews with persons close to deceased males and characterized their relevance to Durkheim’s typology. 

They conclude that explicating Durkheim’s model at the individual level has potential for rejuvenating the sociology of suicide in the field of suicide research.
