Latino Suicide Research Brown Bag Lecture: Raymond E. Barranco

Raymond E. Barranco, MSU assistant professor of sociology, will present this brown bag lecture on a study of Latino suicide. Since the publication of French sociologist Émile Durkheim's book "Le Suicide" (1897), researchers have been examining the relationship between religion and suicide, as well as race/ethnicity and suicide. However, no study has examined how religion influences U.S. Latino suicide rates. This study fills a gap in the literature by applying three competing theses to the study of Latino suicide.
