Zusammenfassung	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.	A critical case study is a case study design in which the researcher deliberately selects a case that is strategically important for testing, confirming, challenging, or extending an existing proposition, theory, or policy claim. Rather than choosing a typical or representative case, the researcher argues that if the finding holds here — in this most-likely, least-likely, or paradigmatic instance — it can reasonably be expected to hold more broadly. This purposive logic transforms a single case into a powerful analytical tool.
