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.	Critical phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that merges classical phenomenological methods with critical theory to examine how structural forces — race, gender, class, disability, and other axes of power — shape and constrain lived experience. Rather than pursuing neutral description of universal essences, it asks whose experiences are centred, whose are marginalised, and how oppressive social structures are reproduced in the body and in everyday life. It has been consolidated as a distinct field by scholars such as Lisa Guenther, Gayle Salamon, and Alia Al-Saji.
