Σύνοψη	Multiple case-based oral history is a qualitative research design that embeds oral history interviews within a multiple-case framework. Rather than collecting testimonies from a single community or site, the researcher deliberately selects two or more distinct cases — communities, cohorts, organisations, or geographic sites — gathers in-depth oral testimonies within each, and then conducts systematic cross-case comparison to identify both shared and divergent historical experiences.	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.
