Shrnutí	Critical life history research combines the biographical depth of life history methodology with critical theory perspectives — drawing on feminist, Marxist, postcolonial, or critical race frameworks — to examine how structural power relations, social inequalities, and institutional forces shape individual lives. Rather than treating a life story as a purely personal account, this approach reads it as evidence of wider social and political conditions, using individual narratives to surface systemic patterns of oppression, resistance, and agency.	Critical narrative inquiry is a qualitative research approach that collects and analyses personal stories to expose how social structures, power relations, and systemic inequities shape individual experience. It merges the interpretive richness of narrative inquiry with the emancipatory commitments of critical theory, asking not only what happened in a life but also why — and whose interests are served by dominant stories remaining untold or unquestioned.
