Suicide and Its Nexus: A Theoretical Reconstruction of Suicide
In Indonesia, suicide research has largely overlooked structural factors at the meso and macro levels, whether as primary causes, contributing factors, or considerations for prevention strategies. The dominance of psychological and psychiatric approaches has marginalized sociological perspectives, limiting a more holistic understanding of suicide. Existing heuristic models primarily frame suicide as a consequence of mental health disorders or eco…
The Social Roots of Suicide: Theorizing How the External Social World Matters to Suicide and Suicide Prevention
The past 20 years have seen dramatic rises in suicide rates in the United States and other countries around the world. These trends have been identified as a public health crisis in urgent need of new solutions and have spurred significant research efforts to improve our understanding of suicide and strategies to prevent it. Unfortunately, despite making significant contributions to the founding of suicidology – through Emile Durkheim’s classic S…

Personal Networks: Classic Readings and New Directions in Egocentric Analysis
Social networks are ubiquitous. The science of networks has shaped how researchers and society understand the spread of disease, the precursors of loneliness, the rise of protest movements, the causes of social inequality, the influence of social media, and much more. Egocentric analysis conceives of each individual, or ego, as embedded in a personal network of alters, a community partially of their creation and nearly unique to them, whose compo…

Reflections on Teaching: North Central Sociological Association 2011 John F. Schnabel Lecture: Roller Coasters and Revolutions: Themes in the Reflections of First-Time Teachers
This keynote address by the 2010 John F. Schnabel award winners discusses the emotional rhythms of teaching for the first time. Examining new instructors' self-reflections about teaching, the authors identify three phases of the emotional trajectory experienced by most instructors. It begins with the unnerving combination of anticipation, enthusiasm, and anxiety; transitions to an emotional dip in which the reduced emotional turmoil in the classr…
The Sociology of Suicide
Since Durkheim's classic work on suicide, sociological attention to understanding the roots of self-destruction has been inconsistent. In this review, we use three historical periods of interest (pre-Durkheim, Durkheim, post-Durkheim) to organize basic findings in the body of sociological knowledge regarding suicide. Much of the twentieth-century research focused on issues of integration and regulation, imitation, and the social construction of s…
