Field-based Life History Research

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.
