Longitudinal Life history research

Longitudinal life history research follows the same participants across multiple points in time, collecting repeated in-depth accounts of how their life stories evolve, how they narrate past events differently over time, and how biography intersects with social change. It combines the interpretive depth of life history methodology with the temporal sensitivity of longitudinal design, capturing both the content of lived experience and its unfolding across the life course.
