خلاصه	Visual elicitation biographical research combines the life-history interview tradition with image-based elicitation techniques. Participants bring or choose photographs, drawings, personal objects, or other visual artefacts that represent moments and meanings in their lives. These visuals serve as prompts in extended biographical interviews, releasing richer, more emotionally grounded narratives than verbal questioning alone typically achieves. The method is used in education, health, migration studies, and other fields where lived experience over time is central.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
