Robert Prus is a professor of sociology
at the University of Waterloo. A symbolic interactionist and
pragmatist ethnographer, he intends to connect social theory with
the study of human action in a very direct, experientially-engaged
(community life-world) sense. He has written several books on the
ways that people make sense of and engage the life-worlds in which
they find themselves. These include Road Hustler with C.R.D.
Sharper; Hookers, Rounders, and Desk Clerks with Styllianoss
Irini; Making Sales; Pursuing Customers; Symbolic
Interaction and Ethnographic Research; Subcultural Mosaics
and Intersubjective Realities; Beyond the Power Mystique;
and The Deviant Mystique with Scott Grills. At present,
Robert Prus is tracing the developmental flows of pragmatist thought
from the classical Greek era (c700-300BCE) to the present time. This
involves a number of areas of western social thought - including
rhetoric, poetics, religious studies, ethnohistory, education,
politics, and philosophy.
