Σύνοψη	Participatory oral history is a qualitative research design in which community members act as co-researchers alongside academic investigators to collect, interpret, and share first-person accounts of lived experience and collective memory. Drawing on Michael Frisch's concept of 'shared authority,' it repositions research participants as active agents in the knowledge-production process rather than passive informants, making it especially powerful for documenting marginalized voices and community-held histories that would otherwise remain invisible in official archives.	Oral history is a qualitative research method that collects, preserves, and interprets first-person spoken accounts of past events, experiences, and social processes. By recording in-depth interviews with individuals who witnessed or participated in historical events, oral historians document perspectives that written records often exclude. The method bridges historical scholarship and social science, treating the narrator's memory, subjectivity, and voice as primary evidence rather than as limitations to be corrected.
