خلاصه	Comparative autoethnography is a qualitative design in which two or more researchers — or research participants — independently produce first-person self-narratives about a shared phenomenon and then systematically compare those accounts to generate broader cultural insight. By juxtaposing lived experiences that differ by context, identity, or setting, the approach moves beyond the single-voice limitations of traditional autoethnography while retaining its hallmark reflexivity and personal depth.	Comparative ethnography is a qualitative research design that conducts in-depth ethnographic fieldwork across two or more sites, groups, communities, or cultural settings in order to generate systematic comparisons. Rather than describing a single community in isolation, it traces similarities, differences, and interconnections across cases, producing theoretically grounded insights that no single site could yield alone.
