Abstract
Missing Stories is the culminating project of a special major in multimedia journalism.
The project focuses on three protagonists and has two parts: a magazine feature-length
narrative nonfiction profile of one housekeeper and an audio documentary
where two housekeepers tell their stories in their own words.
The project began simply as an effort to explore and document an environment on
campus in which the workers are largely invisible. Through the generosity of the
participants with their time and stories, it has grown into a rich collection of reflections
on various aspects of life. In sharing who they are, the three women will take you back
through generations, across continents and into some of the most important moments of
their lives.
