Multiple case-based biographical research/Evidence
Method evidence record

Multiple case-based biographical research

Multiple case-based biographical research combines the cross-case replication logic of multiple case study design with the in-depth life-history orientation of biographical research. Each individual biography is treated as a bounded case, examined first on its own terms, and then analysed comparatively across cases to identify patterns, contrasts, and transferable insights about how lives are shaped by social, historical, and structural forces.
