Kokkuvõte	Participatory Biographical Research (PBR) combines the in-depth life-story tradition of biographical methods with the collaborative ethos of participatory inquiry. Participants are not merely sources of data; they are active co-researchers who help design questions, interpret their own narratives, and validate emerging findings. The result is a richly layered account of individual lives that is jointly owned by both researcher and participant.	Life history research is a qualitative method that captures the full arc of an individual's life — or a significant portion of it — through extended biographical interviewing and analysis of personal documents. Rooted in early Chicago School sociology, the method treats each life story as a window into broader social, cultural, and historical forces. The researcher and participant co-construct a narrative account that illuminates how personal experience is shaped by, and in turn shapes, wider social structures and processes.
