Ringkasan	Interpretive biographical research is a qualitative design that collects and hermeneutically analyses the life stories of individuals to illuminate how personal biography intersects with social structure and historical context. Drawing on the interpretive tradition of Wilhelm Dilthey and systematised by Norman Denzin and Brian Roberts, it treats a life account not as a factual record but as a constructed, meaning-laden narrative that reveals how people make sense of their own trajectories.	Interpretive life history research is a qualitative design in which the researcher and participant collaboratively construct a detailed account of the participant's entire life course — or a significant portion of it — and then interpret that account to understand how identity, context, and meaning-making unfold over time. Grounded in an interpretive epistemology, it treats the narrator's life story not as a neutral record of facts but as a meaning-laden construction shaped by culture, social position, and lived experience.
