Significant Absences

University of Victoria

This article looks at how research accounts can conceal stories about the experiences of those who do not appear to be present in the research project. Some of these hidden selves or shadow others in research may be called "significantly absent" because their invisi bility holds particular significance for the sorts of research stories researchers tell. Recognizing these absent others stretches these stories beyond the temporal, spatial, and conceptual boundaries of the original project and draws in those who are no longer here now, and even those who might have been but never were.
