| Abstract: | Richard Salisbury pursued an exceptionally productive career as a scholar, teacher, administrator, applied social scientist, and public figure. By finding a voice and a language with which to speak with coherence to many readerships, his studies provide a bold and innovative model for continued professional elaboration. A core of the possibility for a renewed profession was exemplified in his integrity expressed in a commitment to applying anthropology, theory, and practical knowledge in ways that made them available and accessible to all. His research and advice shaped economic anthropology; the operations of the James Bay Hydro-electric Project; the planning and development of James Bay Cree political institutions, economies and communities; and the development and modernization of post-secondary education in Québec. |
