सारांश	Critical life history research combines the biographical depth of life history methodology with critical theory perspectives — drawing on feminist, Marxist, postcolonial, or critical race frameworks — to examine how structural power relations, social inequalities, and institutional forces shape individual lives. Rather than treating a life story as a purely personal account, this approach reads it as evidence of wider social and political conditions, using individual narratives to surface systemic patterns of oppression, resistance, and agency.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
