Σύνοψη	Critical autoethnography combines the self-reflective personal narrative of autoethnography with the social-justice orientation of critical theory. The researcher uses their own lived experience as primary data to interrogate power structures, systemic inequalities, and cultural norms — treating the personal not merely as testimony but as a site for political and theoretical critique. It is widely used to center the voices of marginalized groups and challenge dominant social narratives.	Interpretive autoethnography is a qualitative research design in which the researcher uses systematic analysis of their own lived experience as the primary data source, moving beyond evocative personal narrative to connect personal meaning with broader cultural, social, or theoretical frameworks. Drawing on Leon Anderson's analytic strand and building on Ellis and Bochner's foundational work, it treats the researcher's self-account as both evidence and interpretive lens, subjecting personal stories to disciplined ethnographic and theoretical scrutiny to generate insights that extend beyond the individual case.
