Abstract
Taking a lead from the idea that historying as a practice of research creation “resists products of history,” this commentary discusses the relation between the personal self, historical research, and resistance. While the utilization of the personal self in research has offered ways to critique and resist hierarchies of legitimized knowledge in academia, it may also sustain an unwavering faith in researchers’ abilities to make sense of everything everywhere (including ourselves). Instead of summoning the self to restore our faith in research, I suggest it can provide researchers an important sense of a limit.
