Murray","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eInvisible Contrarian\u003c\/em\u003e Regna Darnell and Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz have assembled scholars to memorialize and celebrate the prescient vision and interdisciplinary contributions of the late Stephen O. Murray (1950-2019), who did pioneering research in ethnolinguistics and anthropology of gender and homosexuality. His socially relevant work continues to provide a cogent example of an emergent, forward-looking anthropology for the twenty-first century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Murray's wide-ranging work included linguistics, regional ethnography in Latin America and Asia, activism, history of anthropology in relation to social sciences, and migration studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with a complete list of his publications, \u003cem\u003eInvisible Contrarian\u003c\/em\u003e highlights Murray's methodological innovations and includes key writings that remain little known, since he never pursued a tenured research position. Murray's significant, prolific contributions deserve not only to be reexamined but to be shared with contemporary and future audiences. Ideal both as a primer for those who have not yet read Murray's work and as an in-depth resource for those already familiar with him, this volume demonstrates the wide-ranging accomplishments of a man who modeled how to be an independent scholar outside an academic position. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegna Darnell\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished University Professor of anthropology emerita at the University of Western Ontario.
