Σύνοψη	Field-based life history research is a qualitative design that combines sustained ethnographic fieldwork with in-depth biographical interviewing to reconstruct how individuals have experienced and given meaning to their lives within particular social, cultural, and historical contexts. Unlike archive-only biographical work, the field-based variant requires the researcher to be physically present in the participant's social world over time, gathering both spoken life stories and observational data from that world.	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.
