Bio

Tucker D. Farris graduated from CSU-Pueblo in 2016 and went on to complete a master’s degree in sociology from Oregon State University in 2018 and will complete a PhD in sociology with a specialization in social, cultural and political thought from the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada in the winter of 2024. He also holds three honourary degrees from Aspen State Teacher’s College in field-based social and cultural observation. Professor Farris’ area of concentration is contemporary social theory, where he explores concepts of social metaphysics, being and reality, the sociology of time, death and dying, hope, fantasy and imagination, as well as core components of the symbolic experience of the individual in social reality. He has focused previously on institutional reality and the contemporary social roles that formal and informal institutions play in constructing social reality as explored in his debut social theory text Institutional Interactionism: The Theory of the Institutional Self which published by Plum Publishing Co. Ltd. in 2023. In addition to institutions he has researched Soviet history and social theory, as well as Cold War clandestine tradecraft and its effects on neoliberalism. His theory work is predominantly available free and open-source as public sociology and may be found at: https://satinstrides.substack.com/

 

In addition to social theory Professor Farris works as a foreign correspondence journalist for the Sopris Sun newspaper covering the war in Ukraine and other contemporary global issues abroad as a member of the State of Colorado Press Association. He has also contributed to The Progressive Magazine among other nonfiction journalistic publications.  

 

Other projects include Pleasantries From the Skyward Side of Daydreaming: An Existentialist Memoir which is due to release in November 2024, a 7-part essay collection titled Two Prayers for the Lost Souls in the Endless Night exploring the loss of social self in the modern age and a three-part treatise on the sociology of time, all in contract with Plum Publishing Co. Ltd.
