Zusammenfassung	Interpretive oral history is a qualitative research design that collects and analyzes first-person spoken accounts of the past through an explicitly interpretive lens. Rather than treating recorded testimony as a transparent factual record, it foregrounds the meaning-making process — examining how narrators construct, remember, and frame their experiences — drawing on hermeneutic and interpretive traditions to illuminate subjectivity, memory, and historical consciousness.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
