# Event Details - **Event Name**: Men and suicide: A cultural scripts perspective - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 27 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 27 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Silvia Canetto challenges universal myths of male suicidality.About this EventDepartment of Sociology LectureSpeaker: Silvia Sara Canetto, Colorado State University, USAA dominant idea in professional and popular discourse is that men’s suicidal behavior is the same everywhere in terms of triggers, motives and outcomes. A prevailing belief about triggers is that men’s suicidality is driven by public life (eg, employment) problems - in contrast to women’s suicidality, which is believed to be caused by private-life (e.g., close relationship) problems.In this presentation Silvia challenges, based on evidence from her research and beyond, dominant myths of male suicidality and propose new ways to understand it. She starts with a review of the often-overlooked variability in triggers, motives and outcomes of men’s suicidality, with examples across communities and countries. For example, she presents evidence suggesting that men’s behavior in their private lives matters in their suicide likelihood - specifically, evidence from a multinational study that men’s suicide rates are lower in countries where men do more family care work.Next, Silvia describes cultural-scripts-of-suicidality theory and discuss how taking a cultural-scripts perspective helps making sense of male suicidality across communities and countries, and by intersectionalities of, for example, age.Her presentation ends with examples of how taking a cultural-scripts perspective on male suicidality stimulates new ideas for its prevention.Photo by Simon Boxus on Unsplash* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *If you require more than 5 tickets, please contact the Events Team who will be happy to help.Please ensure you use the correct email address as this is where your ticket will be sent.
